Abstract/Summary
In this report, the author explains the process of creating the Police Operations Simulation, shows step-by-step how it works, and statistically analyzes the results from SLOPD’s own proposed and current schedules. The data-gathering from the department and the simulation itself will receive the bulk of the coverage in this report, followed by sample results from SLOPD and a business plan for future sale to other departments.
Using the given numbers, it appears that the proposed schedule will result in significantly improved coverage for the city of San Luis Obispo. While any increase in the number officers on patrol tends to be positively correlated with faster response times, the increase during peak times in particular has a dramatic effect on the response, and the overlap shift is a very effective way of utilizing planned overtime to increase coverage without increasing manpower.
