on investigator assignments, activity, and success. These are now computed <br />manually by the Division Commander. <br />For investigations to be effective, investigators must have the time to do <br />their job well. For Investigations to be efficient, investigators must not have more <br />time than needed to do their job well. The lack of accurate summary data over <br />time prevents an accurate comparison to existing national benchmarks for <br />investigator workload. After the new Report Management System is in place, the <br />Criminal Investigation Division Commander should be able to compare workload <br />changes with changes in unit effectiveness measures (such as case clearances, <br />case closures, unknown suspects identified and arrested, etc.). After charting <br />several months of these comparisons the Commander should be able to <br />determine the most appropriate workload formula for efficient perFormance. <br />The current reactive unit workload is provided below. Because the <br />number and type of cases assigned to each investigator varies, application of <br />nationally developed benchmarks is difficult. National benchmarks have been <br />developed for the number new cases assigned per month. These are provided in <br />Appendix B but cannot be applied to Paris at present because there is no <br />stringent case assignment screening process currently in pface (where only <br />workable cases meeting assignment criteria are given to investigators). While <br />these benchmarks can eventually be used to assist in development of reactive <br />investigative caseloads for Paris, they assume a properly operating case <br />screening system. <br />Cases per <br />Type Case Month <br />Felony Theft, Fraud and Felony Assaults <br />35.7 <br />Burglary of Habitation <br />12.8 <br />Crimes Against Children / Sexual <br />Offenses <br />14.8 <br />Forgery, Fraud, Identity Theft <br />26.3 <br />Burglary Business / Felony Theft <br />10.3 <br />Class A Misdemeanors, State Jail Felony <br />30.8 <br />Page 35 <br />
