Editorial Reviews

Product Description

For Police Training, Police Administration and Organization, Police Management, and Issues in Policing courses. This is the first comprehensive text written that specifically deals with the complexity and ethical issues associated with the problems of police training. It provides an analysis of the process of training, from the historical and conceptual perspective with an emphasis on the steps that need to be taken to improve every stage of police training.


From the Back Cover

RETHINKING THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES IN POLICE TRAINING IN THE 21ST CENTURY
PAST, PRESENT, AND DESIRED

Critical Issues in Police Training is the first academic text that specifically deals with the important issues of police training, covering the entire training process, starting with the history of policing, and taking the reader, step by step, through all the phases of police training.

Sample table of contents:

  • Academy training—a professional standard model
  • E T.O. training—mandatory two-phase model-academy and in-service
  • Specialized courses
    • Law enforcement leadership training—from the military-orientation to community-oriented policing model-introducing the c.o.l. model—community-oriented leadership
    • Stress management training—discovering the "missing link"-introducing the f.i.t. model—feelings-inputs-tactics
    • Community-oriented policing training—"familiarity breeds contempt"—introducing the o.c.p. model—open communication policing
  • Training methodologies—student-centered and organization-centered training and education
  • Instructors—where to start?
  • Police training in other countries—a comparative perspective
  • Small, medium or large—how to secure quality training for your agency regardless of your size and resources

Critical Issues in Police Training thoroughly delineates various stages and phases of police training, creating the opportunity to develop new courses in this so-important area of police profession. Books in the area of policing devote anywhere from as few as two pages to as much as an entire chapter to police training. In the 21st century, it is an imperative to deliver more attention to this critical aspect of policing. Students of policing, undergraduate and graduate, should be exposed to the complexity and the ethical issues associated with the ways in which police officers are trained.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on police training, August 28, 2009
Despite being a few years old, this is one of the best books on police training ever written. The author combines a solid academic perspective with a practitioner viewpoint. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in police training. The book provides a foundation for police training in a variety of environments.
