The Rashomon Survey developed by Ariel and Tankebe (2014) utilizes both mobile technology and automatized surveys that dramatically reduce these costs to a fraction of ordinary surveys — without jeopardizing the integrity of the assessment. Managing these surveying jobs - which look at the views of all stakeholders - requires back office management of the data; O Conducting debriefing meetings to encourage officers to speak freely about the implementation and to inform the Management Team about their process. It is also an opportunity to present to front line officers the findings from the implementation algorithm results to increase compliance and adherence to the design protocol. A one-hour session (bi-weekly) is required to deliver these sessions, which would be intentionally facilitated by the research partner, in order to allow for officers to freely speak without fearing 'retaliation' from line managers. As such, these debriefs include pre-test as well as post-test periods; Total:4331,400. 11:117,12s; 10 • • Contract: Data Preparation and Collation. • The project is expected to produce a rich body of data to assess, in terms of implementation, cost-benefits, and qualitative (as well as quantitative) data. The data must be continuously transformed into quantifiable and measurable data points. Total: $26,158 • Contract: Evaluation: Statistical Assessment • A professional statistician will be hired for statistical consultancy. The lab or a similar consultant will assess the outcomes and cost-to-benefit estimates. Total: $4,989 Contract: Training • Responsible for training. In order to increase compliance and guarantee that officers are fully committed to the experiment, a series of training sessions prior to the study will be required. The training will build on the experiences of other forces who have already implemented a BWC program through experimental design — namely the Rialto Police, Ventura Police, and two forces in England and Wales — who would share their 'stories' with the MBPD. These sessions are meant to instill much-needed enthusiasm with officers that may be deterred from using BWC. The research partner will participate in these sessions in order to train officers with the requirements of the random assignment.
