This brings the "speediness" and "certainty" of penalty into full play. In our police system, there is a group of police officers who carry around their mini-computer while patrolling, they enter all license plates they see to make sure whether the scooters were stolen. they are known as "the team member of the special project on theft tracking". These police officers work under uncertainties including challenging weather conditions as well as achievement pressures, their stories are worth studying. Furthermore, the researcher would like to look into their working experience and come up with a practical suggestion. The researcher utilizes in-depth interview in qualitative research and interviewed six officers with over three years of experience in the special project on theft tracking. The researcher found that: Most police officers were assigned by their directors when they started this job, with a strong sense of responsibility and the idea of testing their limits, they took it. In the uncovered theft cases, criminal ages scattered across the spectrum. The majority of criminals steal scooters at midnight by damaging the lock cylinder or using an universal key. In some cases, the scooter owner forgot to take the keys with them after they parked. Places that parks a great quantity of scooters are the victimization zone as well as the crime-solving zone. The special project on theft tracking has developed a SOP. The greatest thing in this job is to uncover the stolen scooters and solve the owner's transportation problem; while being appreciated by the owners is the most valuable thing. The contingent reinforcement after reaching the achievement goal is similar to the variable ratio contingent reinforcement in intermittent reinforcement, which filled the police officers with happiness and joy. The police officers in this project will face the lump when they cannot achieve their accomplishment goal with positive beliefs and adjust their pressure with healthy behaviors. Police officers in this challenging project have high self-evaluation.
