碩士 === 淡江大學 === 公共行政學系公共政策碩士在職專班 === 104 === To promote qualified professional fireworkers to work on fire prevention, disaster rescues, emergency medical services, and massive disaster treatments, based on the recruitment demands of each organization and the consensus reached between the Executive Yuan and the Examination Yuan, the Ministry of Examination, had studied and drafted The Improvement Program on the System of Police Examination. The Program was reviewed and passed at the 37th meeting of the 11th Yuan Sitting of the Examination Yuan, held on June 4th, 2009. It was approved in principle that starting from year 2011, the system of the police examination for the non-incumbent civil servants would adopt a dual track system which would be applicable to all graduates from Central Police University and Taiwan Police College, and graduates from general universities, colleges, and senior high schools. The adoption of the dual track system for the police examination had been widely discussed and a consensus had been reached. According to the conclusion reached in the 102nd meeting of the 11th Yuan Sitting of the Examination Yuan, held on Sep. 9th, 2010, the examination regulations for the dual track system should follow those applied in Trained Civil Service Special Examination for Police Personnel and Examination for Rank-and-File Police. Regarding the ratio of the quantity of required personnel, for Level Three Examination, the percentages of the graduates from general schools and from the police academy are 14% and 86% respectively, while for Level Four, the percentages are 30% and 70% respectively. The dividing proportion should be reexamined three years after the enforcement. Now that it has been over four years since the duel track system was put in practice, the ratio of the quantity of required personnel must be re-inspected, so as to be in accordance with the conclusion reached in the above-mentioned meeting. The re-examination thus motivated for this study, and the emphasis of this study is more on the front end of “examination.” Commencing from April 2015, this study has explored relevant literature and analyzed interview materials. Eight interviewees were involved in the study, including staffs from National Fire Agency and fire education organizations, current firefighters from the fire brigades of Taipei city and New Taipei city, and experts in the firefighting field. Based on characteristics of interviewees, the questionnaires have been specially designed to obtain viewpoints that best meet the subject of the study. All interview materials, including each interviewee’s perspective, have been interpreted, analyzed, and generalized to acquire valuable insights for the study. This study suggestions as : 1.The examinations of professional subjects should be designed so as to reflect practical demands of organizations or institutions. 2.Hiring organizations or institutions should be able to participate in the examination process by incorporating probation/elimination mechanism and competency requirements. 3.The feasibility of grading in phases of “examination, training, and probation” should be considered. 4.Fire organizations should provide training accesses to assist firefighters to fit the position and should construct a competency management system to complement the human resource management system. 5.Contract fire agency, complete fire workers human resource management system.
