Police performance appraisal is one of the most important components of law enforcement management affecting the quality of the services a department delivers as well as the satisfaction of its employees. Therefore, it is crucial that the performance appraisal process is conducted in an effective and equitable manner. Police Performance Appraisals:

Historically, police agencies have measured their performance against a very restricted set of crime-focused indicators, such as crime rates, arrests, and response times. However, modern police officers must be prepared to take on a wide variety of roles, from problem-solver to counselor and provider of first aid, among many others. Therefore, performance measures should be multidimensional to capture the complexity inherent in modern policing. In this era of tight budgets and deep cuts in municipal services, local officials have prioritized police performance improvement and the collection of measurable evidence to justify budget requests. Police departments also benefit from measuring performance; the results can help officials monitor department operations, promote adherence to policies and strategic plans, and detect patterns of bias or misconduct. By defining what is measured, executives send a signal to their command about what activities are valued and what results are considered important. Performance measures can also help track the progress of individual officers, the efficient use of funds, and many other indicators of organizational health. This report describes some of the key considerations involved in designing measures to evaluate law enforcement agencies. It also includes a framework for measuring performance and a detailed review of some international best practices.

Because police are the most visible face of government power for most citizens, they are expected to deal effectively with crime and disorder and to be impartial. Producing justice through the fair, and restrained use of their authority. The standards by which the public judges police success have become more exacting and challenging. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing explores police work in the new century. It replaces myths with research findings and provides recommendations for updated policy and practices to guide it. The book provides answers to the most basic questions: What do police do? It reviews how police work is organized, explores the expanding responsibilities of police, examines the increasing diversity among police employees, and discusses the complex interactions between officers and citizens. It also addresses such topics as community policing, use of force, racial profiling, and evaluates the success of common police techniques, such as focusing on crime "hot spots." It goes on to look at the issue of legitimacyâ€"how the public gets information about police work, and how police are viewed by different groups, and how police can gain community trust. Fairness and Effectiveness in Policing will be important to anyone concerned about police work: policy makers, administrators, educators, police supervisors and officers, journalists, and interested citizens.

This book describes Zero-Base (Z-Base), a system that objectively measures and rates police performance, determines if improvement is needed, and evaluates improvement. This system is based on the premise that all employees deserve a good evaluation score, and are guaranteed that they will receive one at the end of the evaluation cycle -- unless they have a performance problem and cannot or will not fix it. Chapter 1 presents an overview of the system and why a zero-based approach to performance evaluation is needed. This information should be used for conducting orientation training for all employees. Chapter 2 reviews the technical and legal issues associated with performance evaluation systems and how Z-Base addresses those issues. Chapter 3 provides information for developing the proper organizational infrastructure that must be in place before implementing Z-Base or any evaluation system. This includes mission, code of ethics, values statements, and job descriptions. Chapter 4 describes how to develop objective Priority Performance Measures (PPMs). Chapter 5 details how functional and dysfunctional performance data is gathered, analyzed, and rated. Chapter 6 explains how the Problem-Solving Conference (PSC) is conducted when a rating indicates that an employee's performance needs improved. PSCs are central to Z-Base and ensure that employees are given a fair opportunity to correct problem performances before the employee's evaluation score is affected. Chapter 7 explains Z-Scores and their calculation. A Z-Score is an employee's final evaluation score. Chapter 8 presents a plan for implementing Z-Base within the typical police services organization. The plan is grounded in organization change research and experiences helping agencies improve their evaluation systems.

In 1992, a paper by George Kelling appeared in The City Journal titled “Measuring What Matters.” In this paper, Kelling raised the perennial specter of police performance measurement, but this time with a new twist. His discussion focused on the organizational performance measurement demands of community oriented policing. In essence, Kelling's argument was that our traditional yardstick was outdated and needed to be changed. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) also recognized that our historic measures of police organizational performance were outmoded. To address this issue, NIJ and COPS collaborated on a first-of-its-kind Policing Research Institute that focused on “measuring what matters.” The Policing Research Institute examined the implications of community policing for measuring organizational performance and helped move the industry toward a new, more relevant set of assessment criteria. To accomplish this task, police executives, researchers, scholars, and others interested in police performance measurement were invited to Washington, D.C., to address a range of measurement issues. Measuring What Matters consisted of three meetings, each focusing on a particular set of topics. Each meeting considered a set of discussion papers commissioned by NIJ and COPS and prepared by selected Institute participants. The meetings produced: Heightened awareness within the police and research communities of changing measurement needs associated with the shift to community policing; Better informed Federal research and development grant programs on measuring police performance (the NIJ Measuring What Matters research solicitation, issued in May 1997, was shaped in part by these discussions); A series of papers, designed to reach a wide audience, chronicling the Institute proceedings; This compilation of revised papers.

Three major issues often dominate current discussions among researchers and professionals concerned with the police: What are the efects of the police working environment on individual officers? How can police performance be measured? How do police practices affect the delivery of service -- and how are these services viewed by community members? These issues -- and such specific topics as police stress, personnel attrition, and the role of dispatchers in service delivery -- are explored here in eight original essays.

Traditional indicators of police performance are insufficient. Therefore, improved knowledge of how police spend their time through activity measurement provides management information that has the potential to support many critical decisions and processes affecting police agencies. A broad example, from South Australia Police, of the type of information that can be elicited from activity measurement is presented in this paper.
