In 1996, the Sheriff's Office in Ada County, Idaho, began exploring ways to increase citizen input into its activities, and the development of citizen input was initiated with a partnership grant provided by the National Institute of Justice in January 1997 and culminated in the restructuring of patrol activities under a decentralized "beat integrity" model in 1998. |

Abstract:
|
The Sheriff's Office elected to convert the entire patrol division to a problem-oriented policing (POP) model of proactive policing. Patrol was restructured, personnel were transferred, and evaluation procedures were implemented. The partnership grant became a chronicle of the transition to a POP model. In 1996, the Sheriff's Office began exploring ways of encouraging citizen involvement. The need for police-citizen linkages in Ada County had become especially important due to intense population migration in traditionally rural areas of the county and a sharp increase in crime over a relatively short period. A meeting with the Sheriff's Office and faculty members at Boise State University identified ways of meeting service needs, and the result was a partnership between the two organizations. The following primary by-products of the partnership were carried out during the funding period: (1) a survey of citizen fear of crime and satisfaction with sheriff services; (2) the development of an Internet site to transmit information to the public and to encourage police-citizen interaction; and (3) the preparation of a report on performance criteria under a POP model. Secondary by-products included a community gang prevention team survey and an assessment of citizen attitudes toward sheriff services. Scholarly by-products focused on fear of crime and police work and culture in the rural setting. Additional information on the partnership grant is provided in two appendixes. Tables and figures |
