Leadership Driven Grant Planning For a Lean Economy 

PoliceOne.com

August 15, 2011

Summary: PoliceOne.com's Denise Schlegel asserts the importance of looking at the multi-faceted functions of running a police department (i.e., data management to policing strategies) with respect to efficiency assessment when applying for grant funding during hard economic times. Schlegel's article forewarns police departments about the intense competition for the grant application process in the fall season, and how budget processes need to move in the direction of "asset-driven" approaches instead of depending on "line-item driven" techniques. Schlegel recommends internal assessments of current strategies and defers to the expertise of several online resources that could help police departments integrate a Performance Measurement process.
