The actual redeployment that you calculate in this section is what the COPS Office assumes that you will achieve as a result of this grant. Things you may want to include: • Number of hours saved per day per officer • The number of days these officers will actually work in a one-year period • How many officers will realize this savings • How time will be saved (on what activities) • If the actual redeployment that is calculated in this section is substantially greater than the required amount of redeployment you must achieve for this item (line 8 of the CEW), please indicate that your agency understands that it will be expected to attain this redeployment if funded for this item. **Application Form: COPS MORE '96 (This page must be returned to the COPS Office.)** 23 ID E.e. nnc>r). F.3 tr.. rat ± on of L±tne S -cr ± rig s Item 1 Mobile Computer Terminals and Software Officers of the Fayetteville Police Department spend between one to three hours with the average being 90 minutes creating reports each shift. This time could be reduced by 40 percent if a laptop computer containing field reporting software and the Arkansas Accident Report was available in each unit. Officers must come into the station to complete reports. Frequently, they get assigned a call for service and leave before the report is finished. The continual interruptions increase the time it takes to complete the reports and keeps officers either in the station or enroute to the station. This reduces the time each Officer has to dedicate to selfrinitiated activities within their beat. The Fayetteville Police Department defines self -initiated calls as activity produced from citizen contacts i.e. extra patrol for neighborhoods, businesses in their beat, or checking suspicious vehicles. On any given day, 23 officers in the Fayetteville Police Department will use the 10 laptop computers being requested •to complete paperwork in their patrol cars. We run three shifts per day with the largest shift ranging from 10-15 on duty. As a result of using the computers, 8 hours of sworn officer time will be saved by the department each day because each officer with a laptop is expected to save 40 minutes each day Note: 24 • 40 minutes saved per officer x 23 officers divided by 60 = 15 hours per day x 365 days per year = 5,475 hours divided by 1,824 = 3.0 FTE. Community Policing Activities Summary (Part C): Instructions you should describe how officers will use the time saved for each item, system, or group of like items. In order to be funded under COPS MORE '96, the time saved must be devoted to com- munity policing. Example — The Hessville Police Depart- ment plans to purchase four laptops under COPS MORE '96 and has shown a time savings of 3,648 hours/year (or 2 fi I h.) as a result. With this time savings, all 20 of the officers in Hessville will spend approximately 180 hours in the coming year working on a community policing project to address one specific crime or disorder problem on their beats. Each officer will devote three to four hours per week to their projects. The officers will spend time regularly meeting with community members to learn more about the specific problems they decide to focus on and to develop creative approaches to addressing these problems based on their understanding of them. Officers also will work with community members to evaluate the effectiveness of the solutions implemented. C.Icrnrintiriity Pc>liciric; Activities Item 1 - Mobile Computer Terminals and Software The Fayetteville Police department plans to purchase 10 laptops under the COPS MORE '96 and has shown a time savings of 5475 hours/year (or 3.3 FTE) as a result. With this time savings, each patrol officer will spend 3 1/2 hours per week on additional self initiated calls. These calls will be a result of information gathered from the community through phone calls, reports and personal contacts. Areas this would cover will include extra patrol requests from citizens i.e. concerns about traffic, home watch, domestic concerns, suspicious activity. The officer will be available to spend more time in his/her beat allowing for personal contacts with concerned citizens. This additional time spent in the community is expected to result in a decrease of criminal activity. The increased visibility of the officers in their designated beats will also boost the citizens' feeling of safety in their neighborhoods and also in the business areas where they work and shop. 25 Name: Fayetteville Police Department, Arkansas OM: 00720100 Section II — Part C Item # Community Policing Activities Summary In Part B, you demonstrated the time savings that you expect to achieve through the purchase of this item.

Demonstration of T±me Savings Item 2 - Civilian Report Taker The three Detectives assigned to the Juvenile Division of the Fayetteville Police Department spend approximately 2 hours per day taking walk-in and telephone reports. Also, they do not have any clerical support which results in additional time spent on filing, and data entry. It is estimated that each officer spends 1 1/2 hours per day on clerical duties. With the addition of a Civilian Report Taker, these detectives could spend up to 10 hours per day on community juvenile concerns. On any given day the civilian report taker will accept any reports during their 8 hour shift and take any telephone reports referred to them from other shifts. Currently, all reports are taken by sworn personnel during normal business hours. This will free up Detectives approximately 8 hours per day. Note: 3.5 hours saved per detective x 3 detectives = 10.5 hours per day x 365 days per year equals 3833 divided by 1824 = 2.1 FTH. **Application Form: COPS MORE'96 (This page must be returned to the COPS Office.)** 23 Community Policing Activities Summary (Part C): Instructions You should describe how officers will use the time saved for each item, system, or group of like items.
