Introduction
In 2012,  the Commanding Officer of "E" Division adopted
Business Intelligence as a Provincial Strategic Objective in
support of "Improving Effectiveness and Efficiencies of Key
Processes".  As a result the General Duty Staffing Analysis
Project started in May 2012 with analysis of electronically
recorded workload data and shift schedules for four Lower
Mainland District (LMD) pilot detachments.

The end result has been the development of new measures for
workload, service levels and staffing needs for LMD.  To assist
in the development of these new measures and staffing
requirements, the patrol simulation modeling software, Managing
Patrol Performance (MPP) v.9.5, licensed to the Policing
Consultant that assisted with the LMD project was utilized.  

As a result of the MPP modeling software, General Duty (GD)
Operations has been able to do the following activities

Proactively monitor GD operational efficiency 
Justify GD staffing requirements to Mayors-in-Council
Eliminate excess over-time
Discover what's consuming GD officer time
Forecast future GD requirements to meet growing demands for
service
Ascertain the most efficient deployment of GD officers across
shifts, days, and areas.
Determine the minimum number of GD Members required to achieve
performance standards.
Estimate available problem-solving time per unit on any shift or
day of week
Analyze the impact on GD performance of scheduled or
unanticipated absences
Calculate how area performance will be affected with some
response units on special details
Simulate increases or decreases in call-for-service or
administrative work
Compute the effect of changes to area boundaries on workload

In April 2014, due to the success of the LMD pilot project, the
Criminal Operations, CROPS, A/Commr. for E Division has expanded
the scope of the MPP project to include all E Division
detachments and Investigative Units.

To this end, "E" Division is required to procure its own license
for the MPP modeling software used by the Consultant, to sustain
the new business processes developed as a result of the General
Duty(GD)  Staffing Analysis Project.  The new Business processes
include the deployment of Business Intelligence metrics, created
using the Enterprise IBM Cognos Business Intelligence (BI)
platform, that are inputs to the MPP modeling software.
