These programs are modeled after the Operation Night Light (ONL) program that began in Boston, Massachusetts in 1992. The goals of the PPP projects are to reduce recidivism among selected juvenile and/or adult probationers, to reduce police calls for service and criminal activity in the target areas, to increase public perceptions of safety in the neighborhoods where PPP projects are operating, and to strengthen linkages between the police departments and county probation departments. The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) whether the three funded sites have implemented the program according to the specified goals and objectives of the program; (2) whether the sites are meeting the expectations of the PCCD related to the goals and objectives of PPP programming in general; and (3) the nature and extent of the impact of PPP programming in the targeted areas.

Author: Juchniewicz, Mike Title: Retail Policing: Analysis of Dispatches to Walmart, the most frequent Location of Calls for Police Services in Rochester Summary: This paper will examine calls for service made to the Monroe County 911 Center from the Walmart located at 1490 Hudson Avenue in Rochester, New York. In 2010 this was the leading location for calls for police services in Rochester. This research grew out of an interest in considering high volume locations for calls for service and was further encouraged in discussions during the Center for Public Safety Initiative’s work with the local Rochester community organization, Group 14621. Citizens in the 14621 community felt that the nearby Walmart, located on the northern boundary of the 14621 area, was a common location for police calls for service and were interested in how this may affect policing services in the neighborhood. Excluding police sub-station locations, the Hudson Avenue Walmart was the most common location for Rochester calls for service in 2010. The Hudson Avenue Walmart recorded twice as many calls as the next highest location. Even with that volume, this accounted for .25% of the total of 460,448 Rochester related calls for service received in 2010. The goals of this research will be to describe the nature of calls for service and the response to them at the Hudson Avenue Walmart.

Author: Gul, Serdar Kenan Title: Providing Efficient Police Services: A Cost-Benefit Analysis Summary: This case study evaluates and compares several alternatives for increasing efficiency in the Kent State University (KSU) Police Department in Ohio, USA by using Bardach’s Eightfold Path Model. The KSU Police Department provides money escort services despite the recent decrease in the number of personnel allocated to routine police services. The community expects the campus police to be more visible and respond to calls for service more swiftly. In order to increase efficiency in terms of visibility and rapid response on campus, this study recommends contracting out the money escort services to a private company and redeploy police officers to foot patrol and community policing activities on campus.

Author: Northern Ireland. Criminal Justice Inspection Title: Answering the Call - An Inspection of the Police Service of Northern Ireland Contact Management Arrangements Summary: THE Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has made significant improvements in dealing with the public and its handling of emergency and non-emergency calls, however the Contact Management Strategy of the PSNI must be continuously reviewed to ensure user satisfaction in the long term. This is the conclusion of a Criminal Justice Inspection Northern Ireland report – ‘‘Answering the Call’ – An inspection of the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s contact management arrangements. The inspection report, which covered an extended period from February 2011, until January 2012 found that abandoned call rates had dropped significantly under the new contact management arrangements from around 20% to 3.7%. This had represented a significant improvement in service delivery. In addition, the PSNI had performed reasonably well on their targets of answering emergency calls within the 10 second target. Performance figures showed an overall achievement rate across the new contact centres of 88.8%. While the inspection report found that the move to a four-centre model had produced improvements, problems remained, some generated as a result of the swiftness of the roll out, such as variation in staff skills and service delivery. The report found that there had been no organisational strategy to employ non-police in the role of Dispatcher. Given the benefits to the public of returning more Officers to front line duties, CJI recommends that the PSNI should actively pursue the deployment of non-police members of staff as Dispatchers to reduce its dependence on serving Officers within contact management centres.
