Download or read book Police Allocation Manual written by Northwestern University (Evanston, Ill.). Traffic Institute and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended for the use of state and provincial law enforcement agencies or divisions within agencies, this manual presents methods of addressing two crucial resource allocation issues: (1) the total number of police officers required to provide an acceptable level of traffic services and (2) how a specified total number of officers should be allocated by geographic regions or time periods to produce the maximum agency productivity. The staffing and allocation methods are based on a review of procedures currently used by state and provincial agencies throughout the United States and Canada. Individual chapters present an overview of the model, worksheets and instructions for a step-by-step process for determining staffing levels, and a worksheet for determining staff allocations over several geographic areas or time periods. Guidelines for using the manual, forms, and appended supplemental worksheet and tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual presents methods for analyzing and optimizing the allocation of available forces to best match the demand in the form of calls for service, which vary considerably in place and in time. Previous and current methods for analyzing police patrol forces are reviewed and discussed. The steps in developing an allocation analysis procedure are defined. Including the prediction of the rate of calls for service, determination of the number of patrol units needed, designing sectors, and analyzing dispatch strategies. Existing computer programs used for this purpose are briefly described, and some results of their application are given. This document is one of a series of five guideline manuals on mobile digital communications, computer-aided dispatch, automatic vehicle location, patrol force allocation, and multicommunity command and control systems for law enforcement applications.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended for the use of municipal police departments, this manual presents methods of determining the number and allocation of personnel for patrol and traffic services for municipal police agencies. The procedures are based on an analysis of officer workload with respect to the amount of time required to complete various tasks in four categories: reactive; proactive, self-initiated and community policing; proactive, uncommitted patrol; and administrative. The procedures rely on historical data and user- supplied performance objectives. Individual chapters present an overview of the methodology, guidelines regarding general implementation strategies and issues of data definition and collection, a recommended data collection and implementation procedure, data requirements.
Download or read book Patrol Deployment written by Margaret J. Levine and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses resource allocation issues that affect patrol operations and demonstrates some of the mechanisms available for resolving them. The authors suggest that managers use the report to select the method most suited to their department's situation. Specifically, the report focuses on calculating the number of patrol officers needed to satisfy departmental service-delivery objectives and distributing those personnel across shifts and geographic boundaries. The report's five chapters are organized to guide the reader through the processes involved in patrol planning, from issue development through the resolution of single and multiple issues and modification of the patrol plan. Also addressed are the concept and benefits of patrol planning, fundamentals of analyzing a patrol plan, analytical techniques, and key planning steps for resolving resource allocation issues. Exhibits and tables are included. Additional sources of information are appended.
Download or read book A Patrol Car Allocation Model written by Jan M. Chaiken and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computer program has been designed for specifying the number of police patrol cars that should be on duty in each geographical command of a city at various times of day on each day of the week. The program is a synthesis of the best features of previous patrol car allocation models, with several improvements, including the capability to prescribe allocations when one tour in each day in each geographical command overlays two other tours. The program was designed to be inexpensive and readily transferable. (Author).

Download or read book Managing Patrol Operations Program Test Design written by National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected analytic techniques and management strategies of a field test program to improve the utilization of police patrol resources are detailed. This program test design forms the basis for the field test, sponsored by the National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice (NILECJ). The goal of each field test effort is to determine the effectiveness of the elements or program strategies outlined in the document in various settings and to examine their applicability to other jurisdictions. A number of police departments have already experimented with one or more of the elements of the patrol management program. From this previous experimentation, NILECJ has created a composite of the best approaches in the field, which are to be implemented in three police departments in cities with populations ranging from 200,000 to 450,000. The primary objectives are to assess the impact of this configuration of techniques and strategies on patrol efficiency and to determine whether the program merits widespread replication. Traditional patrol allocation strategies are reviewed and evaluated. Then a program design is outlined, with techniques and strategy options for the program's two major processes: allocating resources (matching resource allocations to workload conditions) and undertaking directed activity (analyzing crime and service-oriented problems and developing strategies to solve those problems). An evaluation design is presented for use in determining the degree to which the test program achieved its objectives and in identifying conditions which inhibit or facilitate its successful implementation. The criteria used by NILECJ in selecting suitable test sites are briefly outlined, and a selected bibliography is provided.
Download or read book Patrol Car Allocation Model written by Jan M. Chaiken and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents a computer program called the Patrol Car Allocation Model (PCAM85), which is designed to help police departments determine the number of patrol cars to have on duty in each of their geographical commands. It tells a department how to match its resources to the time-varying pattern of demands based on desired levels of performance, manpower schedules, and dispatching policies. This volume provides file specifications, installation instructions, and a listing of the program; the Executive Summary (R-3087/1-NIJ) describes PCAM in nontechnical terms; and the User's Manual (R-3087/2-NIJ) gives complete instructions for collecting data and operating the program. PCAM85 is a modernized version of a program that was written in 1975 and is documented in reports of identical titles numbered R-1786/1, R-1786/2, and R-1786/3.
Download or read book A Manpower Allocation Technique for Military and Civilian Police Patrol Forces written by Myron J. Tingey and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this project was to develop a technique for allocating manpower in military and civilian police applications. The technique was to find an optimum allocation in terms of workloads equalized between the patrolmen. A secondary objective was to show the application of technique by performing an analysis of the Texarkana, Texas police patrol force and by making a recommendation on the patrolmen allocation based on the allocation technique. A previous allocation study is discussed. A study conducted on the effectiveness of preventive patrols is summarized. The allocation technique which used three computer programs, is explained. One chapter discusses the use of the computer programs. (Author).
