Data are presented for small, medium, and large city or county departments. The results showed that most departments needed help in the areas of planning, research, and pursuit driving. In addition, medium and small cities required advanced training assistance. Police chiefs generally felt that their departments could provide assistance in patrol operations, while chiefs in large and small cities felt capable of providing aid in crime prevention. The sheriffs considered radio communications, mutual aid, and dispatching as areas of high capability in medium-sized and small-sized counties. In addition, the survey showed that personnel services generally accounted for over 65 percent of an average department budget and that police departments generally paid higher wages than did sheriffs' departments but had wages comparable to employees in the wholesale or retail trade. A list of jurisdictions by size is appended. Data tables and a four-item bibliography are included.
