Annotation

THIS REPORT, DATED APRIL 11, 1973, DETERMINES THE CAPABILITY OF PRESENT POLICE RECORDS SYSTEMS IN THE AMARILLO (TX) AREA TO MAKE READILY AVAILABLE DATA REQUIRED FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE PLANNING.

Abstract

RECORDS SYSTEMS OF THE CITY OF AMARILLO POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE POTTER COUNTY AND RANDALL COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, AND OTHER RURAL PANHANDLE REGION POLICE AGENCIES WERE STUDIED. ALTHOUGH THE AMARILLO POLICE DEPARTMENT'S RECORDS SYSTEM WAS FOUND TO BE THE MOST MODERN AND ADEQUATE, CONSIDERABLY MORE DETAILS OF CRIMES WERE FOUND TO BE ESSENTIAL TO PLANNING EFFORTS. A REGIONAL RECORDS SYSTEM WAS RECOMMENDED.
