Safety Management of Investigative Officer for Performance in Samutsakhon Provincial Police

Abstract

Investigative police officers have played an essential role in tracking, searching, and seeking evidence to arrest and suppress offenders. Given the risky nature of their duties, prioritizing safety management, which forms the basis of their work, is essential. The study aimed 1) to investigate the level of safety management; and 2) to compare personal factors with safety management in the performance of investigative police officers. Quantitative research method was employed, with a sample group comprised of 112 investigative police officers from the Samutsakhon provincial police. Data were collected through questionnaires and statistically analyzed using percentages, means, standard deviations (S.D.), t-tests, and One-way ANOVA. The results revealed that 1) The safety management level in the investigative officer's performance was at a high level, with management having the highest average, followed by danger control. Conversely, performance efficiency had the lowest average. 2) Personal factors, including, age, education, ranking, and length of service for investigative police officers, have significantly differed in safety management during duties, with a statistical significance level of 0.05.
