The plan focuses on three issues: (1) maintaining the financial base of a police department in a small California city where the tax base has been reduced by the removal of residential and business buildings from the tax base during initial renewal phases; (2) maintaining the financial base during postrenewal when the tax base is still reduced; and (3) providing police input into the planning phase of urban renewal to reduce crime, increase traffic flow, and ensure adequate crowd control. Recommended law enforcement strategies include convening financial conferences by the police chief with municipal and renewal executives, forming and training a police task force to confer with urban renewal planners, and using the police task force to join with environmental and architectural urban renewal planners in the early phases of redevelopment. Techniques and procedures used to forecast the role of law enforcement in urban renewal and to develop strategic and transition management plans are detailed. Additional information on the study procedures is appended. 13 references, 4 endnotes, 11 figures, and 9 charts
