The aim is to address the issue of structuring staff rosters to enable effective use of staff to meet the demand on the Police to reduce and deal with crime-related incidents. This problem is defined through the compilation of a time-varying level of required staff and an associated staff roster. The objective is an optimised work set-up, maximising staff resources and the meeting of demand. Optimisation of staff levels to demand is sought through use of a series of tabu search algorithms, making use of two diversification techniques and an intensification technique individually and in compilation. The tabu search is shown to be a well-suited optimisation approach to the type of problem defined, with individual conclusions drawn for each of the technique combinations used.
