Abstract:
CGR studied the impact of the Rochester Police Department's patrol sector reorganization for the six months after it was implemented and found that response time had been cut by an average of 10 percent and $940,000 in overtime costs had been saved. The study did not determine whether officers had more time for proactive community policing because a more in-depth analysis of 911 data would be required to do that.
