Evaluation Model of Conducting Police Joint Exercises

Evaluation is the final part of almost all educational development systems. Because it provides techniques and methods for determining effectiveness and ways to improve educational interventions. The purpose of this study is to design an evaluation model for the implementation of joint police exercises that is appropriate to the characteristics and local culture of the education system of Amin Police University.

The present study is mixed in nature (qualitative-quantitative) in which the participants were all experts, professors, commanders, managers and those involved in the design and implementation of exercises of Amin Police University and experts of the NAJA and Tehran Police. In the qualitative section, 6 people were purposefully selected in the focus group and in the quantitative section, 75 people were randomly selected. To identify the dimensions, components and indicators of the model, the focus group was interviewed and to confirm the extracted model, the confirmatory factor analysis method was used in PLS software.

Based on interviews with experts and review of texts and data analysis, the results showed that the final model of the exercise has 3 dimensions: before, during and after the exercise and 6 components: design, coordination, implementation, achievement of goals and summary and 20 indicators.

The findings of this study show that this model is practical and has the ability to measure, monitor all the effective elements in the stages before, during and after the implementation of joint police exercises.
