Abstract
Abstract The paper presents a successful application of location theory in the public sector. The problem involved development of a reliable technique to assist the Oklahoma City Police Department in selecting the locations of two police briefing stations to supplement an existing police headquarters. Difficulties encountered in applying "textbook methods" to solve an actual problem and how they were resolved are discussed. Accordingly, data collection, model development, and solution techniques are also presented. Quantitative results of a test application are included. Final site selection was based upon results of this study and other qualitative factors such as zoning requirements, land availability, political considerations, potential growth and environmental impact.
