Q

PATROL STAFFING MODEL There are a number of patrol planning models that are used in the United States. One developed by the International Association of Chiefs of Police involves measuring calls for service to determine the number of patrol posts and staff needed to fill these posts.

  1. The total calls for service for each tour of duty are obtained for one year ( 12 months).
  2. The 12- month total is multiplied by the ________.
  3. The hours per year in calls for service are multiplied by ______ (“ buffer” factor)
  4. The total hours are divided by 2,920 ( 8 hours × 365 = 2,920). The quotient equals the minimum number of patrol posts needed for the particular tour of duty.
A

average time required to complete a call for service.

Q

Determining Staffing:

The figure of ______ is the number of hours a typical officer is away from duty each year.

A

This is subtracted from 2,920 hours to produce an hours- available figure of 1,504. An assignment/ availability factor is obtained by dividing the hours- available figure of 1,504 hours into 2,920 hours, which creates a factor of 1.94, the number of personnel needed to fill each post.
