FINAL REPORT ON AN IMPACT CITIES PROJECT TO AUGMENT THE NUMBER OF FOOT PATROLMEN IN HIGH CRIME AREAS IN ORDER TO REDUCE IMPACT CRIMES, IMPROVE POLICE-COMMUNITY RELATIONS, AND SUPPLEMENT NORMAL POLICE PATROL.
Abstract
PROJECT RESULTS REVEAL THAT CRIME REDUCTION HAS NOT BEEN SIGNIFICANT AS A RESULT OF THIS PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM WAS AN OUTSTANDING SUCCESS IN TERMS OF IMPROVED POLICE COMMUNITY RELATIONS. HOWEVER, THE ARREST RATE PER 100 MAN-HOURS OF PATROL WAS SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW THAT OF THE REMAINER OF THE DEPARTMENT.
