 | Many public sector agencies including the police were faced with the need to reduce costs as a result of the global financial crisis of 2007-2008. In an effort to obtain information about potential cost reducing strategies for U.S. agencies, researchers surveyed 51 international agencies on their various strategies employed to reduce costs or increase efficiency to maintain their level of service delivery and community policing. Numerous strategies had been adopted by the agencies, and those identified as most promising include (1) collaboration with other police agencies, (2) sharing of services with other police agencies, (3) reduction in the layers of management, (4) merging of specialty units, and (5) reduction in divisions or policing areas.By Garth J. den Heyer, Edwin E.
