Abstract

The Rose Bowl Staffing Plan Model is an example of the use of computer modeling in the area of security planning. This model allowed the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department and the Pasadena Police Department to consider various staffing plans for major events to be held at the Rose Bowl. The model supports staffing decisions for officers, paramedics, ambulance, fire unit, and bomb squad. Performance measures include response times by type of unit, and utilization of personnel. The model includes an interactive graphics capability which shows the occurrence of incidents, the response to the incidents and the resolution of the incidents. It also allows the user to interrupt the simulation and insert user generated incident. This model, being user friendly, can readily analyze various staffing plans which provides useful tool for law enforcement in the critical area of security planning.
