ANALYSES CONDUCTED DURING THIS STUDY AND THE RESULTANT CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS WERE BASED ON INTERVIEWS WITH CONCERNED LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL, OBSERVATIONS OF RECORDKEEPING PROCEDURES, AND A REVIEW OF WORK DOCUMENTS AND REPORTS USED BY THE PRINCIPAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. FINDINGS SUGGEST THAT THE LAW ENFORCEMENT RECORDKEEPING SYSTEMS IN OPERATION IN RACINE COUNTY AS OF JULY 1977 DO NOT EFFECTIVELY PROVIDE A DESIRABLE AND APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF SERVICE. ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO ADJUST AND MODIFY EACH INDIVIDUAL SYSTEM TO BRING IT TO A GREATER LEVEL OF EFFICIENCY, A MORE APPROPRIATE SOLUTION WOULD BE TO IMPLEMENT A NEW SYSTEM THAT EMBODIES AN EFFICIENT SET OF REPORTING FORMS AND PROCEDURES. A CASE-ORIENTED RATHER THAN PERSON-ORIENTED RECORDS SYSTEM IS RECOMMENDED AND DETAILED. THE APPENDIX CONTAINS EXEMPLAR REPORT FORMS.
