Discussions of Funding and Need for Clear Metrics with Former Police Chiefs Turned City Managers

This conference workshop presentation discusses the need for operational technologies and the resulting costs for law enforcement and city managers. Police operations require almost everything to be in digital format, which drives up costs. City managers are central to all financial discussions. Costs of an ever-expanding need for operational technologies and the resulting out-year costs create a division between operational needs for more digital technology and storage and citywide administration understanding those needs to be able to identify funding for future costs and how to best contain those costs. Viewers will learn how using proper metrics can help drive higher likelihood of funding in contemporary times.
