摘要

The Police Allocation Manual (PAM) is designed to be used by state and provincial law enforcement agencies, or divisions within those agencies, whose mission includes the delivery of police traffic services. It is anticipated that the Manual will provide both immediate and long-range benefits. Version 4.0 of the Police Allocation Manual consists of four chapters and one appendix. Chapter 1 provides a brief introduction to the purposes and use of the Manual and Chapter 2 describes the staffing and allocation model. Chapter 3 contains eight worksheets, each with instructions, which provide a step-by-step process for determining staffing levels. Chapter 4 contains one worksheet for determining staffing levels. Chapter 4 contains one worksheet for determining staff allocation over several geographic areas or time periods. Appendix A contains a supplemental worksheet that can be used to expand on the material presented in Worksheet 5 in Chapter 3.
