Policing in a New Economy: The Challenges Involved in Funding Enhanced Policing Performance Through Synergistic Savings
摘要
The challenge that the police face is being able to balance resources and service levels within budgetary constraints and community desires. The police are experiencing increasing demands for more effective decision-making, more efficient management of resources, and the achievement of government outcomes. There is a limited understanding of the relationships between police organizational structures, the allocation of resources, and the performance of the police and the effectiveness of the delivery of their services. This chapter examines and discusses a number of factors that influence how the police can deliver efficient and effective services.
