THE REPORT INCLUDES THE FINDINGS OF A CONSULTANT, WHO INTERVIEWED MANY MEMBERS OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, OBSERVED THE DEPARTMENT'S OPERATIONS AND PROCEDURES, AND EXAMINED SUCH DATA AND RECORDS AS WERE AVAILABLE. THE CONSULTANT CONCLUDED THAT ALTHOUGH THE STAFFING LEVEL APPEARS ADEQUATE, PRESENT METHODS OF PATROL MANPOWER ALLOCATION AND DEPLOYMENT ARE NOT BASED ON WORK LOAD GPO FACTORS. CURRENT ORGANIZATION IS FRAGMENTED, AND THERE ARE NO WRITTEN POLICIES, PROCEDURES, OR RULES AND REGULATIONS. DETAILED APPENDICES INCLUDE PROCEDURAL INSTRUCTIONS AND DIRECTIVES FOR ALLOCATING MANPOWER. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)...KAP
