Abstract
On obtaining the steady state of serial and parallel channels with feedback directly through equations in terms of the traffic intensities, a method different from the traditional method of solving the difference — differential equations by setting the time derivatives to zero, this paper deals with the modelling of a police recruitment and training model in a democratic and developing society. Applications of probability reasoning to a queuing system leads to the number of units waiting for training and posting through equations governing the system in terms of the traffic intensities and the mean number of units in the system ready for placement is obtained. The model is squeezed and generalized as per the requirements by curtailing and increasing respectively the number of parallel and serial recruitment and training centres.
