On September 28 and 29, 2006, NIJ brought together approximately 40 police officers and 35 researchers with common interests in analyzing operations to increase their effectiveness and to reinvigorate the interdisciplinary field of Operations Research (OR) which applies analytical methods to help managers make better decisions. Organizations worldwide use OR for cost reduction, profit maximization, market share increase, decisionmaking, scheduling, planning, resource allocation, transportation, risk management, and more. OR was used in the 1970s and 1980s to examine police operations, model criminal careers, simulate the criminal justice flow, and better ways to manage juries. Since then, OR has been used very little in criminal justice. The objective of the symposium was to organize workshops to create an opportunity for the criminal justice and operations research communities to be in close and active interaction, discussing real open criminal justice problems (balancing COMPSTAT and community policing and call service optimization) and proposed operation research approaches to solutions. The CD-ROM provides a symposium overview, agenda, over 14 workshop presentations, available in a PDF, flashpaper, or abstract format, the OR Challenge, biographies, attendee list, and an article published on OR.
