The primary goal of the project was to develop a system of random patrol that would reduce the time required for a police officer to respond to a call. If the patrol areas are assigned to cars on a random basis, probability theory predicts that patrol cars will be closer to the point of need when they are requested than under any other system of patrol assignment. Another desired product of the project was to develop a model patrolling technique that, in addition to serving as the patrolling method for this project, would also be suitable for use by other police departments. Results were attributed to an intense competition that developed between those officers who were on routine patrol and those on random patrol. (LEAA abstract)
