I'll add that I don't have any problems with what the guy wrote. The "smart" allocation of resources is what the NYPD started doing. Before that, it was just basically fixed allocations (foot units way back when) or an even worse Pavlovian allocation (mobile response units).
In terms of what seems most likely for the future, his point about the relatively small number of "shooters" in the criminal culture is very important. Boston's youth profiling project showed amazing results, way back when, in identifying the most likely shooters and providing long term counseling etc.
The bottom line for me is that none of that stuff is possible without good leadership, and its been sorely lacking in many places.
Hello
