Ep 15. Log 26 -- LEMRAS (Law Enforcement Manpower Resources Allocation System)

Adam-12 is an American television show about two police officers who patrol the streets of Los Angeles. Season 3 episode 15, titled "Log 26 - LEMRAS," follows Officers Pete Malloy and Jim Reed as they navigate a new computerized system designed to allocate police manpower more effectively.

The episode starts as usual, with Malloy and Reed reporting for duty and receiving the day's assignments from their sergeant. However, they soon learn that the department has implemented a new system called LEMRAS (Law Enforcement Manpower Resources Allocation System) that will determine which officers are assigned to which areas based on crime statistics and other data.

As Malloy and Reed begin their patrol, they start to notice some problems with LEMRAS. For one thing, it's sending officers to areas that don't need as much attention while neglecting areas that are experiencing a spike in crime. Additionally, some officers are being asked to work longer shifts than they're used to, which is causing exhaustion and burnout.

To make matters worse, the computer system isn't integrating well with the officers' existing methods of communication. It's causing confusion and frustration among the patrolmen, who feel like they're not being listened to or trusted to make their own decisions.

As the episode progresses, Malloy and Reed scramble to keep up with the system's demands while also maintaining their usual duties. They race from one call to the next, collecting information and trying to make sense of the chaos that LEMRAS has unleashed on their city.

Despite the setbacks, the officers remain committed to their duty to protect and serve their community. They work tirelessly to keep the peace, even as they struggle to adapt to the new system and its demands.

In the end, LEMRAS proves to be a mixed blessing. While it does help allocate resources more effectively in some cases, it also creates new problems and exacerbates existing ones. The officers realize that they'll need to work together to find a better balance between technology and human intuition if they want to keep their city safe and secure.
