Abstract

Police work contains many aspects, each of which was held to specific performance standards. Past literature has investigated individual cases and made selective comparisons, yet is lacking in overall work analyses. Police authorities must be able to assess the work performances of each police station to ensure the balance of investments and returns while investigating overall work performance, rather than solely looking at individual cases. This study used objective analysis to evaluate the 2014 work performances of Kaohsiung City Police Department police stations (Taiwan) in 00 Precinct in order to determine the quality of work performed so that the heads of each unit can improve any insufficiencies in accordance with objectives and improve the competitiveness of police work. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to arrange these indicators according to 00 Precinct’s police stations (DMU) relative work performance. Nine police stations (A-I) and seven indicators were included in this study to assess the work performances of each station. The population in the area of jurisdiction were used to a baseline for normalization of indicators. The results indicated that among the nine police stations, H,F, E and I stations had the better relative performance in the 00 Precinct that analyzed by Deap version 2.1. If the performance management system (PBM) still be used for Performance Evaluation in police organization to set performance goals. This proposal can be made a number of assessment criteria to scheduling the degree of complexity of the police stations, than to order the stations of the set target value should be reached so that units performance measurement benchmarks and more realistically.
