ABSTRACT
Enhancing the administrative efficacy has been an important goal of our various governmental units over the last few years. As a result of this emphasis, the National Police Administration has been undertaking measures to improve its effectiveness. Two foci are aimed by the NPA endeavors: external services and internal management. For external services, maintaining public security and keeping traffic in order are the two primary missions of the police. For internal management, the major tasks are to upgrade administrative ability and to reduce disciplinary problems of the policeman. However, the present efforts of the NPA administrators in reinventing police administration have been inordinately devoted to external services, while the issues of internal management have received much less attention. Because the police department’s ability to serve the public depends greatly on its administrative capability, such ignorance is undesirable. To better understand what administrative problems the city/county police department faces, the current study selects the Taoyuan County Police Department as an example and examines different aspects of police administration. Adopting an in-depth interview method, this study looks at the following administrative areas: “vehicle and equipment”, “information system”, “planning, control and evaluation”, “education and training”, and “inspection and supervision”. The results of the investigation are reported in the thesis and suggestions for changes are also provided.
