# Complete Optimization Problem and Solution: county_public_safety

## 1. Problem Context and Goals

### Context  
The optimization problem focuses on allocating police officers across multiple counties to minimize the overall crime rate while adhering to operational and resource constraints. The key decision involves determining the number of police officers assigned to each county, which must be an integer value. The crime rate in each county serves as a critical factor in this decision, as it directly influences the effectiveness of police presence. 

The total number of police officers available for allocation is limited, ensuring that the solution remains within budget and resource capacity. Additionally, each county has specific requirements for the minimum and maximum number of police officers allowed, based on local needs and operational capacity. Furthermore, the case burden per officer is constrained to ensure that officers are not overburdened, with a maximum case burden defined for each county. These constraints ensure that the allocation is both feasible and sustainable.

The business configuration includes two key parameters: the total number of police officers available for allocation and the maximum case burden per officer in each county. These parameters are critical for defining the boundaries of the optimization problem and ensuring that the solution aligns with operational realities.

### Goals  
The primary goal of this optimization is to minimize the total crime rate across all counties by strategically allocating police officers. This is achieved by reducing the product of the crime rate and the number of police officers in each county. Success is measured by the overall reduction in crime rate, which is directly influenced by the allocation of police officers. The optimization ensures that the allocation respects all operational constraints, including the total number of police officers available, the minimum and maximum police officers per county, and the maximum case burden per officer.

## 2. Constraints  

The optimization problem is subject to the following constraints:  
1. **Total Police Officers Constraint**: The sum of police officers allocated across all counties must not exceed the total number of police officers available.  
2. **Minimum Police Officers Constraint**: Each county must have at least the minimum number of police officers required to maintain public safety.  
3. **Maximum Police Officers Constraint**: Each county cannot exceed the maximum number of police officers allowed, based on local operational capacity.  
4. **Case Burden Constraint**: The number of police officers in each county must be sufficient to handle the population, ensuring that the case burden per officer does not exceed the defined maximum.  

These constraints ensure that the allocation of police officers is both feasible and aligned with operational requirements.

## 3. Available Data  

### Database Schema  
```sql
-- Iteration 1 Database Schema
-- Objective: Schema changes include creating new tables for missing optimization requirements and updating business configuration logic for scalar parameters and formulas.

CREATE TABLE county_public_safety (
  County_ID INTEGER,
  Crime_rate FLOAT,
  Police_officers INTEGER,
  Population INTEGER
);

CREATE TABLE county_police_limits (
  County_ID INTEGER,
  Minimum_Police_Officers INTEGER,
  Maximum_Police_Officers INTEGER
);
```

### Data Dictionary  
- **county_public_safety**:  
  - **County_ID**: Unique identifier for the county, used to index decision variables and constraints.  
  - **Crime_rate**: The crime rate in the county, serving as the coefficient in the objective function.  
  - **Police_officers**: The number of police officers in the county, which is the decision variable to be optimized.  
  - **Population**: The population of the county, used to define the case burden constraint.  

- **county_police_limits**:  
  - **County_ID**: Unique identifier for the county, used to index constraints.  
  - **Minimum_Police_Officers**: The minimum number of police officers required in the county, defining a lower bound for the decision variable.  
  - **Maximum_Police_Officers**: The maximum number of police officers allowed in the county, defining an upper bound for the decision variable.  

### Current Stored Values

## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
- Let \( x_i \) be the number of police officers allocated to county \( i \), where \( i \in \{1, 2, 3\} \).  
  - \( x_i \) is an integer variable (MIP).

#### Objective Function
Minimize the total crime rate across all counties:  
\[
\text{Minimize} \quad Z = 0.05x_1 + 0.1x_2 + 0.15x_3
\]  
- Coefficients:  
  - \( 0.05 \): `county_public_safety.Crime_rate` for County 1  
  - \( 0.1 \): `county_public_safety.Crime_rate` for County 2  
  - \( 0.15 \): `county_public_safety.Crime_rate` for County 3  

#### Constraints
1. **Total Police Officers Constraint**:  
   \[
   x_1 + x_2 + x_3 \leq 300
   \]  
   - Right-hand side: Total police officers available (sum of initial allocations: 50 + 100 + 150 = 300).  

2. **Minimum Police Officers Constraint**:  
   \[
   x_1 \geq 10, \quad x_2 \geq 20, \quad x_3 \geq 30
   \]  
   - Coefficients:  
     - \( 10 \): `county_police_limits.Minimum_Police_Officers` for County 1  
     - \( 20 \): `county_police_limits.Minimum_Police_Officers` for County 2  
     - \( 30 \): `county_police_limits.Minimum_Police_Officers` for County 3  

3. **Maximum Police Officers Constraint**:  
   \[
   x_1 \leq 100, \quad x_2 \leq 200, \quad x_3 \leq 300
   \]  
   - Coefficients:  
     - \( 100 \): `county_police_limits.Maximum_Police_Officers` for County 1  
     - \( 200 \): `county_police_limits.Maximum_Police_Officers` for County 2  
     - \( 300 \): `county_police_limits.Maximum_Police_Officers` for County 3  

4. **Case Burden Constraint**:  
   \[
   \frac{10000}{x_1} \leq 200, \quad \frac{20000}{x_2} \leq 200, \quad \frac{30000}{x_3} \leq 200
   \]  
   - Rewritten as linear constraints:  
     \[
     10000 \leq 200x_1, \quad 20000 \leq 200x_2, \quad 30000 \leq 200x_3
     \]  
     \[
     x_1 \geq 50, \quad x_2 \geq 100, \quad x_3 \geq 150
     \]  
   - Coefficients:  
     - \( 10000 \): `county_public_safety.Population` for County 1  
     - \( 20000 \): `county_public_safety.Population` for County 2  
     - \( 30000 \): `county_public_safety.Population` for County 3  
     - \( 200 \): Maximum case burden per officer (business configuration parameter).  

#### Data Source Verification
- **Objective Function Coefficients**: `county_public_safety.Crime_rate`  
- **Minimum Police Officers**: `county_police_limits.Minimum_Police_Officers`  
- **Maximum Police Officers**: `county_police_limits.Maximum_Police_Officers`

**Result**: All solvers produced consistent results ✓
**Consistent Solvers**: gurobipy, pyomo
**Majority Vote Optimal Value**: 35.0

### Final Recommendation
**Recommended Optimal Value**: 35.0
**Confidence Level**: HIGH
**Preferred Solver(s)**: gurobipy
**Reasoning**: Gurobipy is recommended due to its fast execution time and reliable optimal solution. Pyomo also produced the same result but took longer to execute. DOCplex is not recommended due to its implementation error.

### Business Interpretation
**Overall Strategy**: The optimal solution minimizes the total crime rate across all counties to 35.0, ensuring efficient allocation of police officers while adhering to constraints.
**Objective Value Meaning**: The optimal objective value of 35.0 represents the minimized total crime rate across all counties, achieved by optimally allocating police officers.
**Resource Allocation Summary**: Police officers should be allocated to counties based on the optimal solution, ensuring that minimum and maximum constraints are satisfied and case burden limits are respected.
**Implementation Recommendations**: 1. Use Gurobipy for solving the optimization problem. 2. Verify and implement the optimal allocation of police officers across counties. 3. Monitor crime rates and adjust allocations as needed.
