A MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS WAS PERFORMED OF THE ORGANIZATION, EQUIPMENT, PROCEDURE, FACILITIES, AND STAFFING OF THESE AGENCIES TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE PUBLIC MIGHT BETTER BE SERVED BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT DELIVERY SYSTEM (COOPERATIVE ARRANGEMENTS, SHARED AUXILIARY SERVICES, ETC.) WHICH IS MODIFIED FROM THE EXISTING ONE. THIS EXAMINATION OF THE CLAY COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM ISOLATED A NUMBER OF MAJOR PROBLEMS INHERENT WITHIN THE CENTRALIZED AND PREDOMINANTLY RURAL ORIENTED AGENCY, INCLUDING DUPLICATION OF FACILITIES, COORDINATIONAL PROBLEMS CAUSED BY INCONSISTENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, LIMITED MANPOWER, LIMITED PATROL, INADEQUATE RECORDS AND INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION, INADEQUATE SUPERVISION, AND NON-UTILIZATION OF MEASUREMENTS IN DETERMINING PRODUCTIVITY. SPECIFIC COMMENTS ARE MADE WHICH, IF IMPLEMENTED, WILL IMPROVE THE COUNTY CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND CONTRIBUTE TO MORE EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES. APPENDED MATERIALS INCLUDE A MODEL FOR A SMALL AGENCY RECORDS SYSTEM AND A STUDY OF CLAY COUNTY DETENTION FACILITIES AND STATISTICS.
