    Default Starting somewhere

    From a UK police "lurker":
    Not quite sure how to start with this one.. I could write a book on it.


    Without oversimplifying a complex assessment process:


    1. What are they (the units being assessed trying to achieve - what does success look like?
    2. Understand their crude inputs to the system.. numbers of staff; budgets etc.
    3. Gain a more sophisticated assessment of inputs.. what do staff think of their leaders etc. (perhaps too radical a suggestion?!?)
    4. Establish some actual or proxy measures to assess current success which might include crude outputs such as arrests; detections; recorded crime and incidents etc.
    5. Add some qualitative measures to look at outcomes.. how big is their murder; drugs; corruption problem etc.


    Some of the above may be a big ask for Iraq.. but you have to start somewhere I guess.
