The National Institute of Justice funded an evaluation of\r\nthis COPS MORE initiative. The evaluation examined the efficacy of a\r\ntechnological intervention to improve operational efficiency, service\r\nquality, and the corresponding changes in officers' attitudes and\r\nbehaviors associated with integrating the use of MCTs for computerized\r\nincident reporting into the work process. The two systematic methods\r\nof data collection used for this research project were\r\npencil-and-paper surveys of officers' attitudes toward computers and\r\ncommunity policing and direct observation of the behavior of officers\r\non patrol, including measurements of time to complete reports and time\r\nengaged in police activities.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03489.v1", "title": "Evaluation of the Use of Computers in Patrol Cars by the San Francisco Police Department, 1999-2000"}], "identifier": "3824", "issued": "2004-03-18T00:00:00", "keyword": ["attitudes", "community policing", "computers", "police", "police equipment", "police patrol", "police performance", "police reports", "police training", "time utilization"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-03-30T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Evaluation of the Use of Computers in Patrol Cars by the San Francisco Police Department, 1999-2000"}
