Abstract: | This study examines whether police officers' race is associated with their performance of duties and delivery of services.
Using self-report survey methodology, officers of three different races (African-American, White, and Hispanic) evaluated
their performance on forty dimensions of their work. The results indicate that race is not a significant factor in officers'
self-assessments. However, the results indicated that officers with some college education and college degree (irrespective
of the race) report themselves performing better on several dimensions of their work than officers with no college education.
