Abstract: This Study focuses on the development of a Decision Support System for promotion of police officers with the aim of aiding decision-makers to promote the most capable officers. Promotion of the most capable officers to attain leadership positions would enable efficiency in service delivery. It is in this point of view that the researcher designed a Decision Support System to select the most capable officers for promotion. The Decision support System developed during the study, uses the inference mechanism to model decision maker’s criteria. The system design used java servlets to implement the inference mechanism and for arithmetic computations while database component was implemented using MySQL. The user interface was implemented using html. The Decision Support System enables the decision maker to identify police officers who are due for promotion in each rank. The system automatically computes the time an individual has stayed on the rank and the qualifications acquired during that computed time. With this system, the user simply inputs data about a police officer and the system will check whether the applicant can be considered for promotion using the set criteria and quickly reports to the user.
