The landscape of police auditing in the USA: the state of the art

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Various programs have been implemented to improve police performance and accountability. This article is focused on a rarely examined area, police auditing, designed for the same purpose. Many police audits have been conducted over the years to address police efficiency, economy, effectiveness, and compliance. This study answers some basic questions on how police auditing has been used over the years in various police departments, what concerns and issues have led to police auditing, what subject matters have been investigated, and how personnel and entities engaged in police auditing are structured. A nationwide police audit dataset and a quota sample of typical police audit offices/programs were used to develop a landscape or a broad review of police auditing in the USA.
