The Journal’s policy is to motivate authors to publish research papers that represent significant contributions, and which are of broad interests to the fields of pure and applied mathematics. <strong>IJO Journal of Mathematics </strong>journal which publishes research articles, reviews, case studies, guest edited thematic issues and short communications/letters in all areas of mathematics, applied mathematics, applied commutative algebra and algebraic geometry, mathematical biology, physics and engineering, theoretical bioinformatics, experimental mathematics etc. </p>https://ijojournals.com/index.php/m/article/view/1285A GOAL PROGRAMMING APPROACH TO SECURITY WORK FORCE PROBLEMS WITH DEP UNDERSTANDING2026-07-15T08:40:10+00:00UCHENWA Linus Okaforluokafor@nda.edu.ngAbam Kelvin Ayeninoreplyijo@gmail.comObia Gobel Inyangnoreplyijo@gmail.comChristopher Eraye Michaelnoreplyijo@gmail.comBlessing Gloria Georgenoreplyijo@gmail.comUdoh Jacob Israelnoreplyijo@gmail.com<p>In this paper we discuss the goal programming model which is basically a modified form and an extension of the linear programming model, the first of the paper concerns the origin of goal programming, types of goal programming models, and the objectives of goal programming models. In the second part, the differences and similarities between goal programming and linear programming models are looked into the third part of the paper takes a look at the limitation of goal programming GP models, good and poor modelling practices in GP formation. The fourth part, a short review of literature on GP s given, while the fifth part concentrates on areas where GP models can be applied in a security work force and some problems are considered in terms of deploying personal armed and unarmed to two different locations at the same time,a model for training recruits withing a stipulated time period, and corse schedule model for three categories of staff,all modes aim to optimize materials and reduce costs .</p> <p>Illustrate the method of goal programming made simpler, which is the title of this paper and also shows how to avoid getting /accepting a dominated solution in GP problems. In the final part of the papers the summary and conclusion of the work are presented.</p>2026-05-31T00:00:00+00:00##submission.copyrightStatement##
