Abstract
IN ADDITION TO THESE PROPOSALS FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION, LONG RANGE PROJECTS ARE OUTLINED FOR FURTHER STUDY. THE DEVELOPMENT OF IMPROVED INTELLIGENCE METHODS, AN ALAMEDA COUNTY MUTUAL ASSISTANCE PLAN, AND UNIFORM REPORTING PROCEDURES RECEIVED THE HIGHEST PRIORITY. THESE PROJECT AREAS WOULD ENHANCE INTER-AGENCY OPERATIONS THROUGH COOPERATIVE PROBLEM RESOLUTION. IN ADDITION, PROJECTS ARE TIMELY, SINCE INTER-AGENCY PROBLEM RESOLUTION CAN BE COORDINATED WITH CURRENT ACTIVITIES TO IMPROVE CALIFORNIA'S LAW ENFORCEMENT MUTUAL AID PLAN. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
