While the RADAR methodology assists in resource allocation decision-making, the primary responsibility for deploying and managing resources rests with Regional Commanders, in conjunction with District Superintendents and Officers in Charge of police stations. This includes the management of all leave, training of officers and any other absences from the work place. Therefore, it is neither appropriate nor practicable to include the above factors in the resource allocation model.
