Approximatly 18,000 people reside in the unincorporated area within these boundaries. The Sheriff provides police protection to the residents of this area by attempting to field two deputies per shift, three shifts per twenty four hour period. In addition to regular patrol, the community of Linden is serviced by a day shift patrolperson, called a Community Car, dedicated to working in and around the Linden area. The County Board of Supervisors recently employed the firm of, Hughes, Heiss and Associates to analyze Sheriff's staffing and orginization as it relates to patrol. The study revealed that in area 2, we are able to field an average of only .68 deputies per shift. Community Cars were available 100% of the time during the period this study took place. ` The study also showed that the average response time to calls for service by regular patrol in area 2 was 14.49 minutes. Response time M by the Linden Community Car officer was 16.91 minutes. Hughes, Heiss and Associates recognized that response time is a measure- ment of the effectiveness of law enforcement services. They state, "The more rapidly a unit can respond, the greater the opportunity for suspect apprehension and/or citizen satisfaction with service delivery."
