Abstract: The requirements and demand for personal security and public order have increased under great pressure from economic growth and society. This research applied the undesirable output model, which is a mathematical model, to measure the efficiencies of the security department in Taiwan. Further analysis has considered the efficient frontier to classify the efficiency of all 22 counties/cities in Taiwan in 2016, towards a sustainable security environment. The result of this research shown some cities have performed excellent efficiency in the security problem. According to analysis, the efficiency can be improved by decreasing excesses in inputs and bad outputs. This research has evaluated the police departments in Taiwan comprehensively and differentiated the efficiency in safety management of all police departments in Taiwan.
