THE SACRAMENTO POLICE DEPARTMENT REGARDS BUDGET PREPARATION AS A DE-CENTRALIZED YEAR ROUND OPERATION (CONCEPTS WHICH HAVE PROVEN TO BE EFFECTIVE IN PRODUCING REALISTIC AND ACCEPTABLE BUDGET PROPOSALS).
Abstract
THE DEPARTMENT HAS SET UP A BUDGET REQUEST PREPARATION TRAINING PROGRAM WHICH IS BRIEFLY DESCRIBED. THE THREE FORMER BUDGET UNITS HAVE BEEN EXPANDED TO SIXTEEN, THE ADVANTAGES OF WHICH ARE THAT EACH DIVISION CAN KEEP A CLOSER CONTROL ON ITS EXPENDITURES AND THAT COST-EFFECTIVENESS CAN BE MORE READILY EVALUATED.
