The transfer of space and computer technology to urban security

Abstract

The case for the application of systems analysis and computer technology to the problems of urban management has been a "timely" and important subject for the past five years. The automation of administrative procedures appears to have been successful in the Chicago Police Department, where crime statistics, operations reports, traffic accident and citation reports, payroll, financial accounting, and automotive cost accounting are presently working components of the Chicago Police Department's data processing system.
