Innovative Resource Planning in Urban Public Safety Systems; Progress Report

摘要

The report focuses on police and emergency medical services from three perspectives. The first involves a comprehensive analysis of the evaluation criteria used by urban public safety services with emphasis on effectiveness and productivity. The second comprises a set of analytical and simulation models that will be useful as planning, research, and management tools for urban safety systems in many cities. The third consists of an evaluation of the impact of new criteria, methodologies, technologies, and organizational forms upon traditional crime hazard rating schemes, insurance rating methods, related regulations and standards, personnel performance criteria, system operating policies, neighborhood service indicators, and employees and their organizations. Tasks performed for these three components are described.
