A KEY FEATURE OF THE STUDY WAS THE CLOSE AND CONTINUOUS INTERACTION BETWEEN THE TASK FORCE, PUBLIC OFFICIALS, AND THE CITIZENRY. RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CENTER FOR POLICE STAFF AND AUXILIARY SERVICES TO MANAGE AND PROVIDE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES, AND THE LONG-RANGE CREATION OF THREE NEW COUNTY ELEMENTS - A COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT, A DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, AND AN OFFICE OF COURT SERVICES. CHARTS, FIGURES, AND TABLES PROVIDE GRAPHIC INFORMATION ON PRESENT POLICE ORGANIZATION, POPULATION PROFILES, CLEARANCE RATES, FINANCIAL FACTORS, POLICE PERSONNEL, AND OPERATIONS EXPENDITURES. IMPLEMENTATION PLANS FOR THESE RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS ARE FOUND IN AN ACCOMPANYING VOLUME, NCJ-10812.
