Abstract

ABSTRACT The article reviews the fiscal crisis facing many units of local government. Using this as a focus, attention is then turned to the results of a limited national study of productivity-enhancement efforts among medium-size municipal police departments. The survey results indicate that these police agencies while acknowledging resource scarcity are not pursuing meaningful productivity efforts; they are merely adopting a variety of cost-containment strategies. The article discusses the nature of managerial and organizational impediments to productivity efforts among local police agencies.
