Police Allocation Manual: Determination of the Number and Allocation of Personnelfor Patrol Services for State Police Departments. Version S3.0, September 1991

摘要

The Police Allocation Manual (PAM) is designed to be used by state policeagencies, or divisions within those agencies, whose mission includes the delivery of police traffic services. The Manual is designed to help such agencies address two key resource allocation questions: (1) What is the total number of officers (i.e., troopers, field supervisors, and staff and command personnel) that are required to provide an acceptable level of service; and (2) How should a specified total number of officers be allocated by geographic regions or time periods to maximize agency productivity.
