In Slovenia, based on legal grounds with a set of rules and methods, efficiency and performance of employees in public sector are measured. However, certain segments of public sector are difficult to measure. One of those segments is the police force, protecting people and their possessions. Predefined goals that have to be achieved in a certain time period are crucial in order to regulate work in public sector efficiently and successfully.
Measuring work performance and efficiency in the police has been an important topic on the table of the leaders at the responsible ministry. However, the police work is very specific and difficult to measure. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate work of police officers at selected police stations in the period of 2010 to 2015 and to determine how effective different Slovene police stations at their work really are. The study is based on examining statistical data, both available to public and acquired through the police itself. The thesis also describes practices of measuring work performance of public sector and the police in Great Britain and in Croatia.
Certain police stations are covering areas heavily affected by security issues while some others have a record of relatively favourable work environment. The thesis comprises statistical data about the work at the biggest and most strained police stations in Slovenia and compares them by segmenting different indicators among investments, effects and results. The results show that the police stations covering the Ljubljana area are the most efficient.
