Location of chief police officers in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, using OCBA
Location of chief police officers in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, using OCBA
Over the past few decades, the escalation of violence made public security take centre stage on the Brazilian political and social agenda. This paper focuses on the Brazilian state of Pernambuco, one of the most violent states in Brazil according to national indexes. We study a location problem originating from the interaction between different police institutions. We aim at determining the location of chief civil police officers responsible for crime registration and investigation. This work applies Discrete Event Simulation (DES) in order to model the reporting process of the police when criminal activity happens. The DES model is used as a basis for an Optimal Computing Budget Allocation (OCBA) algorithm in order to improve the overall simulation efficiency for finding the best locations. Our numerical experiments show that the proposed framework could potentially help increase the operational efficiency of police forces in Pernambuco's cities.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, the escalation of violence made public security take centre stage on the Brazilian political and social agenda. This paper focuses on the Brazilian state of Pernambuco, one of the most violent states in Brazil according to national indexes. We study a location problem originating from the interaction between different police institutions. We aim at determining the location of chief civil police officers responsible for crime registration and investigation. This work applies Discrete Event Simulation (DES) in order to model the reporting process of the police when criminal activity happens. The DES model is used as a basis for an Optimal Computing Budget Allocation (OCBA) algorithm in order to improve the overall simulation efficiency for finding the best locations. Our numerical experiments show that the proposed framework could potentially help increase the operational efficiency of police forces in Pernambuco's cities.
