APPRAISAL OF THE OVERALL LAW ENFORCEMENT NEEDS OF COLOMA TOWNSHIP (MI) IN ORDER TO ASSESS THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF SUCH NEEDS UPON THE COMMUNITY.

Abstract

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE DEPARTMENT IS UNDERTAKEN WITH A MORE DETAILED ANALYSIS OF CURRENT PATROL NEEDS. INFORMATION WAS OBTAINED THROUGH ON-SITE INTERVIEWS WITH THE POLICE CHIEF, TOWNSHIP SUPERVISOR, AND TOWNSHIP TREASURER ON JULY 15 AND 16, 1976. THE CONSULTANT CONCLUDES THAT OVERALL COST REDUCTIONS IN THE PROVISION OF POLICE SERVICES TO THE TOWNSHIP CANNOT BE MADE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN SERVICE AT THE PRESENT LEVEL. RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE THE DEPARTMENT'S RECORD KEEPING CAPABILITIES ARE SET FORTH AND A PROPOSED INCIDENT RECORDING FORM IS INCLUDED.
