1.1 Differences Between Line and Staff Evaluations
Line Evaluations
Line evaluations are internally conducted assessments that focus on the immediate
supervision and control of police officers and station operations. These evaluations are
often carried out by station commanders, unit supervisors, or relief commanders, who
assess day-to-day activities to ensure compliance with procedural guidelines (Holden,
1994:175). The primary objective of line evaluations is to maintain discipline, identify minor
operational deficiencies, and ensure the consistent application of police procedures.
Common aspects evaluated in line assessments include:
Daily checks on occurrence books, registers, and duty rosters.
Physical inspections of firearms, equipment, and uniforms (National Instructions 12
of 2016).
Regular monitoring of detention cells and prisoners’ welfare.
