Summary

In the face of increasing costs and shrinking revenues, many communities are asking how many police officers are required to ensure public safety. Put another way, what number of officers would help an agency most cost‐effectively meet the demands placed on it? This is a fundamentally different question than how many officers does a community want or can a community support. Yet answering the need question effectively frames a discussion about want and affordability. The Canadian Police Staffing Symposium provided an extraordinary opportunity to examine how Canadian police organizations are addressing critical staffing issues. There are some key findings that will help to guide future efforts. This report provides a summary of these key findings.
