This site, the Experimental Police District (EPD) worked to implement “quality policing,” which encompasses community-oriented, problem-oriented, and employee-oriented management. Over a three-year period developments in the EPD were monitored. Madison police officers were surveyed multiple times throughout the period to compare to the officers working in the rest of the organization. Attitude changes for residents served by the EPD were also compared to the attitudes of residents in the rest of the City.
