An analysis of the effectiveness evaluation measurements for Coast Guard general law enforcement helicopters

Abstract

Concern over the growing drug problem has led to increased enforcement efforts by all responsible federal agencies. This thesis examines the current management control evaluation system used in conjunction with the Coast Guard General Law Enforcement Program. These evaluation techniques and the associated reports and historical data base are related to the current enforcement goals and objectives. From this analysis a better understanding of this system is gained, alternatives are developed, and recommendations for improved program and resource performance evaluations are presented.
