This report challenges several assumptions which have been the bases of many proposals for police reorganization. Data were collected in 80 metropolitan areas. All agencies conducting general area patrol, traffic control, traffic accident investigation, residential burglary investigation, or homicide investigation for residents of each Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area are included. Data were obtained from police agencies through personal interviews and inspection of documents supplemented by telephone and mail communication.
