Officials are concerned that disparities in pay and retirement benefits have caused federal police forces to experience difficulties in recruiting and retaining officers. In 2010, the USCP Labor Committee proposed six changes to enhance the USCP benefit structure. GAO was asked to review USCP’s pay and retirement benefits and compare them to other federal police forces in the DC metro area. GAO (1) compared USCP to other forces with respect to retirement benefits, minimum entry-level salary, duties, and employment requirements; (2) compared attrition at USCP to other forces, and determined how, if at all, USCP and other forces used human capital flexibilities (e.g., retention bonus); and (3) determined what level of retirement income USCP benefits provide and the costs associated with the proposed benefit enhancements. GAO chose nine other federal police forces to review based on prior work, inclusion in the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) police occupational series, and officer presence in the DC metro area. GAO analyzed laws, regulations, OPM data from fiscal years 2005 through 2010, and human capital data from the 10 police forces. GAO also surveyed the 10 forces.

Author: Whitley, John Title: Five Methods for Measuring Unobserved Events: A Case Study of Federal Law Enforcement Summary: The purpose of this report is to review practical techniques, many already in use in other government and law enforcement areas, that can be used to estimate unobserved federal crime rates and related performance measures. The intended audience includes federal senior executives responsible for managing and allocating scarce resources within law enforcement, along with performance and program management officials tasked with estimating and reporting these measures. Applied to federal law enforcement, the techniques reviewed in this report could enable the types of performance management reforms that have revolutionized local law enforcement. The discussion of these techniques may also be useful in other settings where unobserved events hinder performance management. Part II of this report reviews the basic performance management framework for law enforcement activities. It uses examples to: • Identify specific, key outcome performance measures essential for sound management • The challenges in estimating performance • The problems created when non-outcome measure proxies are used Part III systematically reviews techniques and methods that can be used to estimate unobserved variables. This includes empirical analysis of administrative records, surveys, and covert testing. Part IV applies these techniques to specific examples in federal law enforcement to demonstrate how they can be used in practice. Part V outlines selected major challenges with data quality and interpretation that arise in estimating outcome performance measures based on unobserved events, and includes concluding remarks.
