Abstract

This paper presents a projection model for a hierarchical manpower system, viz. a combined group of English County Police Constabularies. The model is designed to describe how observed wastage and promotion rates will shape the internal structure of the system should these persist. Employees in the system are classified according to rank and completed length of service. The model also determines recruitment rates necessary to achieve desired manning levels.
