It aims to frame key aspects of the recruitment process and the importance of communication to them, highlighting roles, opportunities and challenges for both the organization and recruit.…
The total business solution philosophy provides some guidance on how firms can mitigate the risk of counterfeits to their brands. This perspective contends that firms need to develop a comprehensive, enterprise-wide approach that is strategic, evidence-based and proactive. To discern common elements of this approach in practice, we asked a diverse array of 42 brand protection experts to identify specific tactics that firms could implement. In all, the experts offered 1,347 individual tactics. As part of a larger assessment, we…
Firms struggle to determine both the allocation and deployment of brand integrity resources. To inform decision making, they seek to understand how well their brand integrity function is performing and how to maximize its effectiveness with finite resources. In this webinar, Professor Jeremy Wilson from Michigan State University will share insightful lessons on valuing brand integrity based on his ongoing research and outreach with a wide array of brands across many industries. Placed within the context of a total business…
To better identify what a total-business solution might look like, we asked a sample of 42 respondents—33 brand-protection practitioners and nine other respondents with academic, service, or other perspectives—to identify all functions and tactics that might be associated with brand-protection efforts. Altogether, respondents identified 38 functions associated with 757 unique tactics among more than 1,300 total tactics. Using these data, we assessed the depth and breadth of each function. Read More
We surveyed residents in four communities with alternative models of policing: a merged department, two agencies that contracts for services, and a regional agency. We asked residents about their confidence in the police. We found that the type of police model was an important predictor of police confidence, controlling for other traditional measures of attitudes toward the police. Read More
In the fall of 2016, we launched a collaborative effort to study law enforcement staffing for the National Park Service. As part of this research, this report aims to illustrate for park law enforcement leadership how data and analysis can inform deployment and strategy. Primary topics covered include crime analysis, traffic accident analysis, call for service data, work schedules, problem-oriented policing, and program evaluation.
This report summarizes the lessons we developed as part of an assessment of law enforcement in the National Park Service. It examines the staffing landscape and what rangers do, key management issues, as well as various approaches to determining staffing levels. Importantly, it offers a new data-driven approach to ranger staffing that integrates principles of operational risk management.
Based on a national assessment of law enforcement provision in the National Park Service, this guide illustrates a data-driven approach for estimating the appropriate number of rangers that should be assigned to a park to meet strategic objectives and conform to the principles of operational risk management.
