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 Two Patrol Car Deployment Models written by Jan M. Chaiken and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1975, Rand made available two computer programs for analyzing deployment of police patrol cars: the Patrol Car Allocation Model (PCAM) and the Hypercube Model. PCAM is used primarily to determine the total number of patrol cars a department needs and how they should be allocated over days of the week, hours of the day, and geography. The Hypercube Model is used primarily for designing patrol beats (the areas covered by one car). Both of these models were specifically designed to serve the needs of local police agencies with little or no outside technical assistance. The documentation for each includes a nontechnical executive summary that explains the kinds of applications for which the model is suitable, a user's manual that describes step-by-step how to operate the computer program once it is installed on a computer system, and a program description that provides information for data-processing personnel to install the model, construct a data base, and modify the model if needed. When the models were new, the designers undertook several field test in which they worked closely with police agencies to refine both the models and the methods of applying them. However, after publication of the documentation in 1975, Rand assistance to users has been limited. The designers have provided copies of the computer programs, fixed a few errors in the programs, responded to user inquiries, and provided advice to organizations that included the models in their training program.
Download or read book Crime Analysis in Support of Patrol written by and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a summary of a comprehensive survey, conducted in 1975, of the state-of-the-art of crime analysis in support of traditional preventive patrol, team policing, and specialized patrol. This volume is the result of a national evaluation program effort on crime analysis. Methods utilized during the study included an extensive review of the literature on crime analysis, site visits to 23 police departments, and an investigation of evaluation strategies for crime analysis. An overview of the procedures and results of the literature review and on-site visits is first presented. In general, the authors found that both these approaches provided little insight into the actual value of crime analysis, although police intuitively believe in its value. The report then turns to an analysis of the relation between program goals and objectives and crime analysis. Objectives and assumptions relating to patrol and crime analysis are listed, and for each a suggested measurement for the impact of crime analysis is given. Most of the measures suggested are of a qualitative nature. The findings of the study indicate that crime analysis has no value in and of itself. The authors conclude that because crime analysis programs are so inseparable from the patrol programs they support and have such a variety of potential forms, evaluation of crime analysis, apart from the patrol programs, would seem to have little value. It is suggested that the evaluation frameworks developed in this project be incorporated into larger evaluation efforts targeted toward selected patrol programs.

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.

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.
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.
