This study presents a model strategy for the development of the future of regional law enforcement in the southern San Joaquin Valley (California) by the year 2002. |
| Abstract:
|
The study identifies six trends over the next 10 years: requests for annexations, the level of liberal political leaders, the level of requests for individualized services by special interest groups, level of public scrutiny of law enforcement by boards/committee, level of alternate funding for law enforcement services, and level of service fees for law enforcement services. High probability events predicted include State mandates for regional law enforcement, grand jury recommendation for regional law enforcement, county law enforcement loss of a multi-million dollar suit, employee filing of civil action against regional law enforcement, voter/courts overturning of tax assessment law, and riots/civil disorder due to government beyond capacity. The study foresees that regionalization will allow government to eliminate an unneeded layer of bureaucracy, as it responds to the trend of "downsizing" to accommodate the decreasing budget dollar. Appended tables, graphs, and charts; 17 notes, and 36-item bibliography |
