The major research conclusions of this survey of 101 police agencies in California on the extent to which they are organizing full-time, in-house systems analysis staffs to upgrade their planning capabilities are as follows: 1. Top management in local law enforcement throughout the state generally has a positive, supportive attitude towards the systems approach and the value of its methods to police planning. 2. Environmental preconditions necessitating the adoption of systems analysis methods by local law enforcement are widespread throughout the state. 3. 31 percent of all local police agencies surveyed have what may be considered an organized full-time systems analysis staff of one or more. 4. Unwarranted complacency among law enforcement agencies regarding the current adequacy of the qualifications of police planners is detrimental to the wider adoption of more sophisticated planning methodologies such as systems analysis. 5. Research findings developed in non-law enforcement contexts, primarily business and industry, that specify the details of the implementation process associated with organizing for systems analysis are directly relevant to police programs in this area. 6. The two greatest problems experienced by police agencies in acquiring a systems staff are lack of local funding and difficulties in recruiting qualified analysts. 7. Achievement of a mature, effective systems analysis staff requires at least two years of development effort for most police agencies. 8. The need to employ an outside consultant to assist in organizing an in-house systems staff, thus making it effective more quickly, is inadequately recognized by most agencies. 9. Most agencies support the upgrading of police planning through recruitment of non-sworn professional analysts as recommended by several national commissions and experts in the field. 10. Lack of adequate recruitment guidelines for system analysts appears to be a major stumbling block in upgrading the police planning function in California. 11. Sheriff's departments appear to differ significantly from municipal police departments. 12. The overall effort to organize for systems analysis among law enforcement agencies in California is currently haphazard, deficient in methodology, underfunded, and ineffectively promoted by the state's Office of Criminal Justice Planning which is overseeing the disbursal of federal planning grants.

The California Highway Patrol maintains a state-wide telecommunications network to satisfy the dual requirements of (1) law enforcement information exchange and (2) administrative message exchange. A description of the existing organization and systems and an introduction into those aspects of telecommunications system analysis which are applicable to CHP requirements are given. As a result of this preliminary analysis it is concluded that the communications network need not follow the line organization, the law enforcement information exchange function should control the network employment, and line switching as currently employed is not acceptable for a real time information system. Finally, an iterative design process intended to result in an effective telecommunications system for CHP is recommended. In this thesis, management policy makers are introduced to those parameters effecting telecommunications system design. In addition, it provides guidance to designers and analysts for the development of a CHP telecommunications system to supersede the existing one. (Author).

This manual contains the standards for reform in the management and operation of the criminal justice system, focusing on planning, education, and information systems. Planning for resource allocation is one of the most important functions that a criminal justice agency performs. The 1968 Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act required the creation of state criminal justice planning agencies and the development of annual state comprehensive plans as a contingency for state participation in federal criminal justice funding. In the initial section of this volume, the National Advisory Commission points out the need for additional planning at the metropolitan and regional levels, and indicates the necessity for quantifying performance objectives. It also stresses participation in the planning process by criminal justice agencies, government departments and private citizens. The Commission recommends the development of state integrated multiyear planning and the establishment of criminal justice coordinating councils by all major cities and counties. Other areas of concern to the Commission, in addition to management and budget planning, include systems analysis, information systems, evaluation, personnel training, and criminal code revision. These and other commission proposals appear in the form of specific standards and recommendations -- nearly 70 in all -- that spell out in detail what the segments of the criminal justice system-the police, courts, and correctional agencies can do to upgrade and modernize many of their functions. This manual is a reference work for the practitioner as well as the interested layman.

The analysis highlights the major reasons why crime analysis is critical to the effective and efficient management of patrol, investigative, and other line and support personnel; describes the way it may be better used to facilitate executive decisions pertaining to resource allocation and manpower issues; and discusses departmental benefits from a crime analysis unit. The study also asserts that crime analysis fosters organizational change, and it describes the manner in which change can be managed to ensure positive outcomes. The use of automated systems to assist in the determination of crime patterns is discussed, as is the regionalization of crime analysis services for a number of police agencies. The study reports information received from a survey of police chiefs, sheriffs, and crime analysis practitioners throughout the United States. The survey focused on how agencies define crime analysis, manage crime analysis, select and train crime analysts, and project the future of crime analysis.
