A generating process for police patrol car breakdowns: Implications for maintenance facility staffing
Abstract This paper examines the Poisson process, which has proven useful in several public sector analyses, as a model of a police patrol car breakdown process. On the basis of available patrol car breakdown data for a 1-yr period, the Poisson was found to be a good model of patrol car breakdowns in a city of approximately 175,000 population. Results of both chisquare and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests are presented. Finally, implications of the Poisson model for maintenance facility staffing are discussed.
