Abstract

An essay about a small suburban highly industrialized city close to a great metropolitan center. As the city and the crime began to grow, there was an increased responsibility of the police force. It was soon realized that the number of police cars on patrol demands an optimized computerized system that would put the squad cars where they should be most of the time to minimize their response time getting to where they have to be at once.
