Model	B	SE	z	P	95% CI
Outcome 1: N Warrants Served	0.07	0.09	0.76	0.45	− 0.14	0.28
Outcome 2: N Traffic Stops	− 0.13	0.08	− 1.67	0.10	− 0.29	0.02
Outcome 3: N Other Proactive Activity	− 0.23	0.08	− 2.94	< 0.01	− 0.38	− 0.08

Models specified as negative binomial regression. Unit of analysis was weekly counts of activity. Comparison is between weeks pre-intervention and weeks during the intervention.
