Scientific tools for forming professional competence of patrol police officers

Evaluation of Police Patrol Patterns

The Desktop Hypercube is an interactive tool designed to help planners improve police services without additional response units (or to maintain a constant level of service with fewer response units). It calculates a number of variables, including travel times, workloads, and preventive patrol frequencies, thus giving planners the information they need to achieve various goals, such as reductio...

Felonious Killings of State Police and Highway Patrol Officers: a Descriptive and Comparative Evaluation

Designing Optimal Police Patrol Districts

A police car, manned round the clock by two officers, costs at least $300,000 annually. With efficient management of this resource, police services can be improved without raising taxes. This ArcView extension allows police planners to design patrol districts and to evaluate them by displaying various performance measures. The extension uses a spatially distributed queuing system (the Larson Hy...

Mobile Applications for Police Officers

This paper focuses on the design parameters on the part of the stakeholders and users in the design of mobile applications for police officers. Starting from an analysis of the functional requirements of stakeholders and relevant context parameters for police officers, we find design issues that are relevant to the development of context-aware mobile applications for police officers. We collect...
