The objective of the study is to determine the adequacy and weaknesses, if any, of the services provided by the police units in Tarsus, which is growing by internal and external migrations thanks to its potential for tourism, trade and agriculture, and its geographical position, by performing necessary researches based on the scientific grounds, instead of determining by observation or estimation, and accordingly, to develop strategic management practices which are capable of responding to the varying social expectations. For objective assessment of the subject matter, it is intended to learn about the perspectives of Tarsus residents regarding the policing profession by determining the adequacy of the services provided by Tarsus Police Units as well as the public's level of satisfaction.
