A nontechnical overview of the Patrol Car Allocation Model (PCAM) is presented to assist police departments in determining the number of patrol cars to have on duty in each geographic command at different times of the day and week. The report is designed to help police administrators and planning officers understand what the model is, how it can be used for policy analysis, when it should be used, how it works, and the data, manpower, and computer resources needed to run it. Two companion reports describe PCAM in greater detail.
