In the current dissertation, the relationship between police officer selection procedures and officer performance during the first year of employment was investigated within a metropolitan law enforcement agency. Ninety-two officers were followed during their first year of employment including the hiring process, academy and field training, and yearly evaluations. Data on education, aptitude, physical agility, personality, academy performance, supervisor ratings, and terminations were collected. The results reveal that the psychologists' recommendations predict whether or not an individual will leave the department before the completion of their first year as an officer. In addition, the aptitude test administered by the municipal human resources department accounted for the most variance in academy scores. Weak predictions were demonstrated for field training ratings and yearly evaluations. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Wichita State University, College of College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Dept. of Psychology. / "December 2006." / Includes bibliographic references (leaves 72-77)

From the Viewpoint of V.C.S. on How to Promote the Function of Criminal Investigation of Police Abstract This research expresses the viewpoint of V.C.S. Strategy Management in Creating Public Value written by Moor, a public affairs manager and The Integration Frame of Public Affairs Manager written by Dr. Wang Ming Shan and discusses how the procedure of police investigating crime becomes public values. The new revision of the Criminal Procedural Act was promulgated February 6, 1993, totally revised 132 articles which was the biggest change that ever happened. It changed from the traditional ex officio principal to a litigant statement model which produced huge impacts on all judicial systems, especially on police authority. As a result, in this amendment, it makes sure that some principals such as in judicial decisions, the police should cross-examine before the Judge, and the evidence the police collect should be examined by the judge, the prosecutor who represents the plaintiff should declare the evidence, during the investigation, the police should obey the prosecutor and not only arrest convicts but also judge cases, the procedure of the investigation should be further limited, smaller cases should be simply dealt with on handled by the prosecutor directly. In this amendment it makes all criminal justice systems responsible to the demands of society. Within each system it doesn¡¦t move toward a parallel and mutual criminal justice system but with more emphasis on a bureaucratic class criminal justice system than before. According to the regulation Police Act and Criminal Procedural Act the police authorities take responsibility for safeguarding human rights and maintain social order. However, besides criminal investigation the police authorities also take charge of traffic order, eliminate citizens danger, serve the people as well as associate with other administration authorities. Would police authorities achieve the expected goal of the amendment of the Criminal Procedural Act and match citizens expectations based on their equipment, training, education and organization? This research analyzed, compared and probed the transition of criminal policies in accordance with V.C.S. Strategy Management of Creating Public Values written by Moor, a public affairs manager. Furthermore, with V.C.S. frame as a reference it provides a theoretical counter step for the impacts and obstacles of the new revision of the Criminal Procedural Act on the police authorities and looks forward to promoting the level of evidence ability and judicious evidence during the investigation and construct of public values. Finally, conclude this search and provide some comments as follows: 1. It should make relevant measures for the judiciary to follow. 2. Construct prosecutor and police investigation together. 3. Promote the rank of the authorities which are in charge of criminal prevention.
