POLICE PATROL BEAT DESIGN: ALLOCATION OF EFFORT AND EVALUATION OF EXPECTED PERFORMANCE*
提出一个迭代流程来部署警察巡逻警力，并以圣路易斯县警察局为例，结合地理信息系统和超立方排队模型，验证了该模型在巡逻分配中的可靠性和有效性。
ABSTRACT This paper describes an iterative process for deploying police patrol force manpower. An application of the process is described as a case study of the St. Louis County Police Department (Missouri). The application is based on the county geographic information system (COGIS) and uses the hypercube queuing model (HQM). The procedures presented illustrate the generation of performance characteristics associated with a specific beat deployment. The application results indicate that the iterative model presented is a reliable and valid instrument for allocating police patrols.
