From 1985 until her retirement in May 2013, she practiced at the Polsinelli Law Firm in Kansas City.

She graduated from the University of Missouri with an Arts and Sciences degree in English and Public Speaking, teaching junior high English, Speech and Dramatics for 9 years. and is a long-time resident of Kansas City. The Kansas City Police Department drew the conclusion that routine preventive patrol in marked police cars has little value in preventing crime or making citizens feel safe and that resources normally allocated to these activities could safely be allocated elsewhere.Ī significant factor realised was that crime prevention was more highly dependent on the willingness of citizens to report suspicious and/or criminal behaviour to police than the levels or types of patrol.Commissioner Cathy Dean was sworn in December 3, 2019. Citizen satisfaction with police did not vary.Citizen reported fear of crime was not affected by different levels of patrol.The rate at which crimes were reported did not differ significantly across the experimental beats.Increasing or decreasing the level of patrol had no significant effect on resident and commercial burglaries, auto thefts, larcenies involving auto accessories, robberies, or vandalism–crimes.Citizens did not notice the difference when the frequency of patrols was changed.These were taken before the start of the experiment (September 1972), and after (October 1973), giving 'before' and 'after' conditions for comparison. Victim surveys, reported crime rates, arrest data, a survey of local businesses, attitudinal surveys, and trained observers who monitored police-citizen interaction were used to gather data. This was upheld for 12 months, from 1 October 1972 to 30 September 1973. The experiment had to be stopped and restarted three times because some patrol officers believed the absence of patrols would endanger citizens. The second group had the normal level of patrols, while the third had two to three times as many patrols. The first group received no routine patrols, instead the police responded only to calls from residents. The design took three different police beats in Kansas City, and varied patrol routine in them. Would their degree of satisfaction with police change?.
Would different levels of visible police patrol affect recorded crime or the outcome of victim surveys?.Would citizens notice changes in the level of police patrol and crime?.The experiment was designed to answer the following questions:
