This report summarises major findings from the second stage of a project to test the feasibility of a model performance measurement framework for Australian drug law enforcement (DLE) agencies and to provide advice on its national implementation.

The first project stage involved development and preliminary testing of the initial performance measurement framework (see Willis, Homel & Gray 2006 for more detail about the initial project and its background). Both project stages were funded by the National Drug Law Enforcement Research Fund and undertaken by the Australian Institute of Criminology.

This final report is a companion piece to three supporting reports (and so is designed to be read alongside these documents). These are:

A plan for national implementation of the drug law enforcement performance measurement framework (0)
(Willis, Homel & Anderson 2009), which outlines key steps should the performance measurement framework be nationally implemented;

Implementing a drug law enforcement (DLE) performance measurement framework in Australia (0)
(Willis, Anderson & Davis 2009), which provides a detailed report of the technical fieldwork findings; and

Foundations for an effective performance measurement system for drug law enforcement (0)
(Willis & Anderson 2009), which outlines better practice principles and steps to developing a rigorous performance measurement system.
