DISCUSSION, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF STUDY GROUP WHICH SURVEYED BY QUESTIONNAIRE POLICE AGENCIES NATIONWIDE.

Abstract

MAJOR EMPHASIS WAS PLACED ON AN EXAMINATION OF THE ADAPTABILITY AND UTILITY OF SMALLER AUTOMOBILES THAN ARE PRESENTLY USED BY POLICE AGENCIES. ALTERNATE MEASURES THAT INVOLVE OPERATING PROCEDURES AND DRIVING HABITS WERE ALSO CONSIDERED, AND THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS FROM APPLICABLE ALTERNATIVES WERE QUANTITATIVELY ASSESSED. BECAUSE IT APPEARS THAT BOTH THE INTERMEDIATE AND COMPACT-SIZE CARS HAVE A FAR GREATER APPLICATION THAN CURRENT USAGE WOULD SUGGEST, STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME BARRIERS TO WIDER POLICE USE OF SUCH SMALLER CARS ARE PRESENTED.
