Law enforcement executives face challenges today that have never been seen before. With higher expectations and more accountability of police officers, training is not only being scrutinized, but agencies are being made to answer for ineffective or inefficient training of their officers. Ineffective training can leave officers unprepared for dangerous situations, ultimately putting officers, agencies, and communities at risk.
Maintaining a training environment that develops highly-skilled officers and is most conducive to learning, is one of the greatest challenges for today’s law enforcement trainers. Implementing a solution that incorporates agency guidelines and current training programs, as well as providing the training to improve and enhance skills, de-escalation, and use of force transition techniques is critical.
Many see the current environment as a new “defining moment” in which the policing profession is being challenged to step up and embrace change. Like other organizations, police agencies must balance constancy and predictability with adaptation and change.
