Annotation

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED TO THE EUREKA (CA) POLICE DEPARTMENT IN DETERMINING THE MOST EFFECTIVE DEPLOYMENT OF UNIFORMED FIELD PERSONNEL BASED UPON AVAILABLE INTRADEPARTMENTAL STATISTICAL DATA.

Abstract

THE REPORT IS DATED OCTOBER, 1973. IT WAS FOUND THAT MUCH OF THE DATA NEEDED FOR THE DEPLOYMENT PROBLEM WAS PRESENT BUT UNRETRIEVABLE. THE CONSULTANT RECOMMENDED THAT, RATHER THAN RUNNING A LENGTHY, ONE TIME SEARCH, MORE EFFECTIVE USE OF TIME WOULD BE MADE BY IMPLEMENTING A MODERNIZED, NONMANUAL (BUT NON COMPUTERIZED) DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM. ASSISTANCE IN DEVELOPING A SELF-STUDY AND PERSONNEL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM TO PREPARE FOR THE NEW SYSTEM IS PROVIDED.
