  • Abstract:
    The Police Allocation Manual (PAM) is designed to be used by state police

    agencies, or divisions within those agencies, whose mission includes the

    delivery of police traffic services. The Manual is designed to help such

    agencies address two key resource allocation questions: 1. What is the total

    number of officers (i.e., troopers, field supervisors, and staff and command

    personnel) that are required to provide an acceptable level of service? and

    2. How should a specified total number of officers be allocated by geographic

    regions or time periods to maximize agency productivity? This version of the

    Manual is derived from earlier editions that were based on a review of

    procedures currently used by state, provincial and county agencies throughout

    the United States and Canada. The framework and rationale presented in the

    Manual are the result of a distillation process that identified the "best"

    procedures, and then modified and blended those procedures into a comprehensive

    model for determining appropriate staffing levels and deployment patterns.

    This "Special Version" of the Police Allocation Manual developed for use by

    sheriffs' agencies consists of four chapters and two appendixes. Chapter 1

    provides a brief introduction to the purposes and uses of the Manual. Chapter 2

    describes the PAM staffing and allocation model. Chapter 3 contains eight

    worksheets, each with instructions, that provide a step-by-step process for

    determining staffing levels. Chapter 4 contains one worksheet for determining

    staff allocation. Prepared by the Traffic Institute, Northwestern University,

    for National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. 90p.
