Summary

This report contains an analysis of patrol deployment in the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) and presents a number of recommendations that have the potential to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of patrol operations. The analysis presented below addresses the following questions: What level of service and performance is currently generated by the Operations Division of the VPD; What is the call saturation level of patrol officers; Are efficiency gains realistically achievable ; How should patrol officers be allocated between geographic regions and shifts to maximize productivity ; What is the optimal proportion of single-officer and two-officer units ; What is the desired service level of patrol operations ; Are additional resources needed to achieve the desired level of service or performance ; When, where and how should existing and new resources be deployed based on the desired service goals and the deployment constraints previously mentioned.
