Abstract

Data Envelopment Analysis is used here where 2 inputs and several outputs are measured to evaluate the efficiency of police stations. The two inputs are manpower and cars in a police station - representing labor and capital. The outputs are various levels of police station's activities. We compare between the efficiency when only one input is used - manpower versus cars. Moreover, the relation to the efficiency when both inputs are used simultaneously is examined. We found that there is a positive significant correlation between the efficiencies of the various models due to the high correlation between manpower and cars.
