Utilizing comprehensive analysis techniques involving self-reported data and psychological assessments, the study elucidates the role of police administration in the criminal justice system. Furthermore, the study explores opportunities for improvement, the integration of technology, community engagement strategies, and the imperative for enhancing transparency and accountability within law enforcement agencies. The results of this study offer insightful information for policymakers, law enforcement professionals, and stakeholders seeking to enhance the effectiveness and legitimacy of police administration within the criminal justice framework.
