CJE3065 Police and Society - Module 2 Selection and Development
The quality of police personnel is a
highly important issue, because of the
increasing complexity of police work.
Departments should be screening in,
rather than screening out potential
candidates:
1.Screening in – identifies the best
applicants in an employee pool
2.Screening out – identifies applicants
who are unqualified and removes them
from the applicant pool, while still
leaving those who are minimally
qualified
"The policy of merely eliminating the
least qualified results in mediocrity
because it allows marginal applicants to
be employed along with the most
qualified" (pg 192)
Recruitment
A Police Executive Research Forum found that the most common methods of recruitment for agencies were as follows:
1. Newspaper ads
2. Career fairs
3. The Internet
Approximately 50% of agencies used one of their own programs for recruitment. The most commonly used police programs included:
1. College internships
2. Explorer programs
3. School resource officers
A DOJ project called Hiring in the Sprit of Service aims at recruiting service-oriented individuals.
5 agencies, representing both rural and urban departments, have tailored their hiring process to market for individuals who have communication, people, leadership and organizational skills, and not just traditional paramilitary skills.
The agencies also developed valid pre-employment testing procedures, job task analysis, and performance measures related to community policing and service-oriented practices.
Selection
After recruitment, the selection process determines which candidates are best suited to the needs of the department
Selection criteria are used to rate candidates, and a ranking system is generally created for candidates.
Departments attempt to use selection criteria that are both reliable and valid
Validity is the degree to which a measure actually assesses the attribute that it was designed to measure
Reliability is a measure's ability to yield consistent results over time
Invalid criteria may have an adverse impact on groups that are protected by equal employment opportunity laws and regulations
Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 prohibits any discrimination in the workplace based on race, color, religion, national origin, or gender
Griggs v. Duke Power Company (1971) – concluded that a selection method can have a disparate impact when the selection rate of a group is less than 80% of the most successful group; also known as the four-fifths rule
Albemarle Paper Company v. Moody (1975) – found that selection and promotion tests or standards must be shown to be related to job performance
However, a standard can be required, even though it may have a disparate impact, if the standard can be shown to be a valid predictor of job performance. Such a standard is called bone fide occupational qualification

REPORT ON ETHICS & INTEGRITY
IN THE TASMANIAN PUBLIC SECTOR
2013
INTEGRITY COMMISSION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2
INTRODUCTION
The Integrity Commission was established in October
2010. One of its key objectives is to improve the standard
of conduct, propriety and ethics in Tasmanian public
authorities by adopting a strong educative, preventative
and advisory role.
Since establishment, the Commission has been collecting
information about the state of ethics and integrity in the
public sector. The Commission has done this by delivering
face to face training and education programs; establishing
discussion and advisory groups (Ethical Reference
Groups);1 examining public information about agencies;
investigating misconduct and auditing the way agencies
have responded to allegations of misconduct.
Between November 2012 and January 2013, the
Commission conducted a detailed survey of integrity
mechanisms in state departments and government
businesses.2 The total staff within agencies surveyed
amounted to nearly 31,000. The Commission combined
the information it had gathered from all sources, and from
this survey, to produce the first ‘map’ of the gaps in ethics
and integrity policies and practices in these agencies.
This information provides valuable insight into the key
areas of misconduct risk. The Commission will use this
information to develop training, research and misconduct
prevention activities (products) to ensure that the work of
the Commission is directed towards the areas of highest
misconduct risk and that its products are most effective
in helping agencies to reduce that risk. This work will also
assist agency heads to meet their obligations under the
Integrity Commission Act 2009 to provide training to staff
on ethics and integrity.
WHAT IS A
MISCONDUCT RISK?
Misconduct risk arises from various sources. A poor culture;
gaps in administrative processes; a lack of, or poorly
drafted policies and procedures; ignorance of obligations
and accountability system failures have been identified as
key factors.3
Risk management models are universally recommended
for agencies to assess their own governance needs,
adopt (or not adopt) recommended standards and
tailor their integrity frameworks to suit their needs.4 The
OECD5 recommends agencies identify high risk areas and
manage them with existing processes such as personnel
management or internal audit.
In mapping misconduct risk within the Tasmanian public
sector, the Commission identified a number of risk areas
to measure agencies against, in order to determine the
‘health’ of the sector in relation to ethics and integrity. The
areas the Commission focussed on included:
• education on ethical codes and key integrity policies –
this included an assessment of whether education was
ongoing or limited to induction, employees understood
the information that was provided to them and records
of traini.

Acquiring and retaining high-quality talent is critical to an organisation’s success. As the
job market becomes increasingly competitive and the available skills grow more diverse,
recruiters need to be more selective in their choices, since poor recruiting decisions can
produce long-term negative effects, among them high training and development costs to
minimize the incidence of poor performance and high turnover which, in turn, impact
staff morale, the production of high quality goods and services and the retention of
organizational memory.

Introduction
Ethics Program Pays Off for Morgan Stanley
On April 25, 2012, Garth Peterson, former managing director for Morgan Stanley’s real estate business in China,
pleaded guilty to violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and for conspiring to evade Morgan
Stanley’s internal controls for meeting securities laws for investment advisers (United States Department of
Justice, 2012). From 2004 to 2007, Peterson cultivated a relationship with a Chinese of�icial to obtain business
approvals. In 2008, executives at Morgan Stanley discovered the violations, reported them to the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC), and �ired Peterson (Lucchetti & Kendall, 2012). Department of Justice of�icials
declined to bring any enforcement action against Morgan Stanley because of its documented ethics and
compliance program, stating:
According to court documents, Morgan Stanley maintained a system of internal controls meant to
ensure accountability for its assets and to prevent employees from offering, promising or paying
anything of value to foreign government of�icials. Morgan Stanley’s internal policies, which were
updated regularly to re�lect regulatory developments and speci�ic risks, prohibited bribery and
addressed corruption risks associated with the giving of gifts, business entertainment, travel, lodging,
meals, charitable contributions and employment. Morgan Stanley frequently trained its employees on
its internal policies, the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws. Between 2002 and 2008, Morgan Stanley
trained various groups of Asia-based personnel on anti-corruption policies 54 times. During the same
period, Morgan Stanley trained Peterson on the FCPA seven times and reminded him to comply with
the FCPA at least 35 times. Morgan Stanley’s compliance personnel regularly monitored transactions,
randomly audited particular employees, transactions and business units, and tested to identify illicit
payments. Moreover, Morgan Stanley conducted extensive due diligence on all new business partners
and imposed stringent controls on payments m.

In week two, we considered the internal and external pressures associated with change within the law enforcement profession. Continuing with this example we will consider/propose actions that can be taken to reduce resistance to change with the law enforcement profession.
Across the country, crime analysts are compiling statistics that record and identify trends in crime. In theory, law enforcement managers can use these statistics to determine the best way to disperse the personnel within the agency to address specific crimes. There is an inherent flaw with this method for managing the delivery of police services to the community. The implementation of accountability programs are often thought of by management as a means of increasing officer productivity and motivating otherwise disinterested officers. The associated problem with the use of accountability programs are that law enforcement officers learn how to manipulate the statistics without truly accomplishing the goals of the agency. Subsequently the officers who learn how to manipulate these accountability systems are looked upon as the example. As a result, law enforcement managers must identify or develop proven methods to motivate officers to buy in to the vision and goals of the organization.
Contrary to the traditional methods of policing, accountability programs “adopt the managerial techniques and administrative structures of private for-profit corporations, emphasizing cost control, efficiency, decentralization of management and the cutting back of the public sector, while creating a market or quasi-market mechanisms, contracting out, performance indicators, risk assessment, and audit procedures.” (Chan, 1999) As managers continue to implement these types of programs within the law enforcement profession, officers who typically enjoy a considerable amount of freedom are now confronted with a micromanagement style of leadership. This often results in feelings of resentment, hostility, and distrust as management is pitted against front-line employees. To offset this hostility, officer’s gradually fall into several distinct categories. Those who produce at lower-levels, those who learn to manipulate the statistics utilized by supervisors to measure performance, and those who continue to work at previously established levels. Each of these situations creates a challenge for managers to deal with in terms of motivation. It would not be plausible to motivate each group of officers ...

1) Police departments requiring police officers to obtain an Associa.docxswannacklanell
1) Police departments requiring police officers to obtain an Associate's degree or higher prior to employment is necessary and fair. Police should be required to complete college courses, as it informs them more. According to Hall and Lambert, there are several factors that influence the need for higher edication of officers (Hall & Lambert, 2007). Officers need further education, due to the information presented in sociology courses and other courses that require them to think strategically and without bias. Courses of humanities such as sociology and psychology presents a curriculum that expose students to information about different types of people and cultures (Mayo, 2006). These classes assist with understanding the community in which an officer works in. Another reason officers need advanced education is to offer ideas and techniques that can be used by officers to research. Statistic courses are essential to studying statistics and patterns of behavior; which can be used to create new procedures. These strategies that are taught in statistics can teach officers to investigate and analyze criminal behaviors (Hall & Lambert,2007). It is vital for officers to be knowledgeable of research procedures and to be able to read the results of studies conducted. Sociology focuses on ways to study and understand humans. The terminology in sociology classes help to reduce stereotypes, stigmas, and bias towards a particular group of people. Reducing stereotypes can decrease the instances of racial profiing and other programs such as "Stop and Frisk" (Hickman & Reaves, 2006).

2) At this point in time, I do not agree that it is fair and or necessary to require frontline supervisors such as sergeants and or lieutenants to posses associate and bachelor degrees. The monetary investment that would be required for obtaining an associates or bachelors degree would not get a good investment with a poor return considering what a police officers base salary is. In a study conducted from 1982 to 2003 law enforcement had the smallest yearly additions to their budgets than other tax funded operations (Doerner, 2012, p. 74).
According to research by
Doerner
(2012), "average starting salaries for entry-level officers were 1.2% higher in 2007 than in 2003 after adjusting for inflation"(p. 74). Due to funding issues from shrinking tax collections, many police agencies have had to resort to not buying and or upgrading necessary equipment as well as cuts in training (Doerner, 2012, p. 75). With law enforcement being a tax funded operation, it will always be at the mercy of taxpayers as well as the mechanisms in place to generate tax revenue, as such it will always be in a very basic level of the employment field when it comes to salaries and benefits.
I personally believe that if you were going to mandate a degree for front line supervision positions, an associates would be the highest level required for the positio ...

Acquiring and retaining high-quality talent is critical to an organisation’s success. As the
job market becomes increasingly competitive and the available skills grow more diverse,
recruiters need to be more selective in their choices, since poor recruiting decisions can
produce long-term negative effects, among them high training and development costs to
minimize the incidence of poor performance and high turnover which, in turn, impact
staff morale, the production of high quality goods and services and the retention of
organizational memory.

In recognizing the responsibilities of an agency,

preserving peace by standing guard at a town’s
border, controlling lawless activity, and even

These activities were primarily reactive in nature,

improvements include recruiting and hiring minority and female officers while providing sensitivity training and

Introduction
Ethics Program Pays Off for Morgan Stanley
On April 25, 2012, Garth Peterson, former managing director for Morgan Stanley’s real estate business in China,
pleaded guilty to violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and for conspiring to evade Morgan
Stanley’s internal controls for meeting securities laws for investment advisers (United States Department of
Justice, 2012). From 2004 to 2007, Peterson cultivated a relationship with a Chinese of�icial to obtain business
approvals. In 2008, executives at Morgan Stanley discovered the violations, reported them to the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC), and �ired Peterson (Lucchetti & Kendall, 2012). Department of Justice of�icials
declined to bring any enforcement action against Morgan Stanley because of its documented ethics and
compliance program, stating:
According to court documents, Morgan Stanley maintained a system of internal controls meant to
ensure accountability for its assets and to prevent employees from offering, promising or paying
anything of value to foreign government of�icials. Morgan Stanley’s internal policies, which were
updated regularly to re�lect regulatory developments and speci�ic risks, prohibited bribery and
addressed corruption risks associated with the giving of gifts, business entertainment, travel, lodging,
meals, charitable contributions and employment. Morgan Stanley frequently trained its employees on
its internal policies, the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws. Between 2002 and 2008, Morgan Stanley
trained various groups of Asia-based personnel on anti-corruption policies 54 times. During the same
period, Morgan Stanley trained Peterson on the FCPA seven times and reminded him to comply with
the FCPA at least 35 times. Morgan Stanley’s compliance personnel regularly monitored transactions,
randomly audited particular employees, transactions and business units, and tested to identify illicit
payments. Moreover, Morgan Stanley conducted extensive due diligence on all new business partners
and imposed stringent controls on payments m.

· Discuss key driving forces and steps of the change process.
· Evaluate the importance of communication in the change process and the overall effectiveness of the change initiative.
· Demonstrate knowledge of the change process.
In week two, we considered the internal and external pressures associated with change within the law enforcement profession. Continuing with this example we will consider/propose actions that can be taken to reduce resistance to change with the law enforcement profession.
Across the country, crime analysts are compiling statistics that record and identify trends in crime. In theory, law enforcement managers can use these statistics to determine the best way to disperse the personnel within the agency to address specific crimes. There is an inherent flaw with this method for managing the delivery of police services to the community. The implementation of accountability programs are often thought of by management as a means of increasing officer productivity and motivating otherwise disinterested officers. The associated problem with the use of accountability programs are that law enforcement officers learn how to manipulate the statistics without truly accomplishing the goals of the agency. Subsequently the officers who learn how to manipulate these accountability systems are looked upon as the example. As a result, law enforcement managers must identify or develop proven methods to motivate officers to buy in to the vision and goals of the organization.
Contrary to the traditional methods of policing, accountability programs “adopt the managerial techniques and administrative structures of private for-profit corporations, emphasizing cost control, efficiency, decentralization of management and the cutting back of the public sector, while creating a market or quasi-market mechanisms, contracting out, performance indicators, risk assessment, and audit procedures.” (Chan, 1999) As managers continue to implement these types of programs within the law enforcement profession, officers who typically enjoy a considerable amount of freedom are now confronted with a micromanagement style of leadership. This often results in feelings of resentment, hostility, and distrust as management is pitted against front-line employees. To offset this hostility, officer’s gradually fall into several distinct categories. Those who produce at lower-levels, those who learn to manipulate the statistics utilized by supervisors to measure performance, and those who continue to work at previously established levels. Each of these situations creates a challenge for managers to deal with in terms of motivation. It would not be plausible to motivate each group of officers ...

Learning Activity #1Joe Jackson owned a sawmill in Stuttgart, Arka.docxVinaOconner450
Learning Activity #1
Joe Jackson owned a sawmill in Stuttgart, Arkansas. It was a family business that had not changed in 50 years. Having grown up in the business, Joe had never really investigated the strengths and weaknesses of his position as Vice President. His father was always the President and he and his older brother Jacob were the heirs. The business was in turmoil because his father’s health was precarious and he was forced to step down. Joe’s brother was expecting to step up to the role of Vice President but Joe knew that was a mistake. The business itself was being quickly eroded because of the sustainability issues facing the world. Joe could see this but not Jacob. Joe needed to have a long talk with Jacob to make him see reason. Either they worked together for the future or Joe would have to take the lead role.
TASK:
Prepare an outline of points for Joe to make in his discussion with his brother. Explain the role of the 21
st
century leader and why it differs from that of the 20
th
century leader. Make sure to reference your reading material to validate the points you make.
L
earning Activity 2:
John Kotter in his article “
What
Leaders Really D
o
" makes the following statement: Managers promote stability while Leaders press for change, and only organizations that embrace both sides of the contradiction can thrive in turbulent times."
TASK:
After reading the background information below, explain what you think Dean Adams’ role should be in light of this quote; the leaders or the manager’s? Identify the two roles leader and manager. Be sure to include in your comments the different solutions that may result from a leader's perspective and that of the manager's perspective as well as where they overlap. Finally, suggest which role’s perspective is best for Adam and the organization and why.
Background: Studer International
At 7:30
a.m.,
Dean Adams hit the snooze alarm for the third time, but he knew he could never go back to sleep. Rubbing his eyes and shaking off a headache, Adams first checked his BlackBerry and read an urgent message from his boss, explaining that Sue Chan, chief security analyst, had resigned this morning and needed to be replaced immediately. Frustrated, Adams lumbered toward the shower, hoping it would energize him to face another day. After last night’s management meeting, which had ended after midnight, he was reeling from the news that his Wall Street employer, Studer International, was spiraling toward a financial meltdown.
Adams scratched his head and wondered, “How could one of the world’s largest insurance companies plummet from being the gold standard in the industry to one struggling for survival?” At the end of 2007, Studer had $100 billion in annual revenues, 65 million customers, and 96,000 employees in 130 countries. One year later and staggered by losses stemming from the credit crisis, Studer teetered on the brink of failure and was in need of emergency government assistance. .

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
TESDA TM1 REVIEWER FOR NATIONAL ASSESSMENT WRITTEN AND ORAL QUESTIONS WITH A...
CJE3065 Police and Society - Module 2 Selection and Developmen
1. CJE3065 Police and Society - Module 2 Selection and
Development
The quality of police personnel is a
highly important issue, because of the
increasing complexity of police work.
Departments should be screening in,
rather than screening out potential
candidates:
1.Screening in – identifies the best
applicants in an employee pool
2.Screening out – identifies applicants
who are unqualified and removes them
from the applicant pool, while still
leaving those who are minimally
qualified
"The policy of merely eliminating the
least qualified results in mediocrity
because it allows marginal applicants to
be employed along with the most
qualified" (pg 192)
Recruitment
A Police Executive Research Forum found that the most
2. common methods of recruitment for agencies were as follows:
1. Newspaper ads
2. Career fairs
3. The Internet
Approximately 50% of agencies used one of their own programs
for recruitment. The most commonly used police programs
included:
1. College internships
2. Explorer programs
3. School resource officers
A DOJ project called Hiring in the Sprit of Service aims at
recruiting service-oriented individuals.
5 agencies, representing both rural and urban departments, have
tailored their hiring process to market for individuals who have
communication, people, leadership and organizational skills,
and not just traditional paramilitary skills.
The agencies also developed valid pre-employment testing
procedures, job task analysis, and performance measures related
to community policing and service-oriented practices.
Selection
After recruitment, the selection process determines which
candidates are best suited to the needs of the department
Selection criteria are used to rate candidates, and a ranking
system is generally created for candidates.
Departments attempt to use selection criteria that are both
reliable and valid
Validity is the degree to which a measure actually assesses the
3. attribute that it was designed to measure
Reliability is a measure's ability to yield consistent results over
time
Invalid criteria may have an adverse impact on groups that are
protected by equal employment opportunity laws and
regulations
Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 prohibits any
discrimination in the workplace based on race, color, religi on,
national origin, or gender
Griggs v. Duke Power Company (1971) – concluded that a
selection method can have a disparate impact when the selection
rate of a group is less than 80% of the most successful group;
also known as the four-fifths rule
Albemarle Paper Company v. Moody (1975) – found that
selection and promotion tests or standards must be shown to be
related to job performance
However, a standard can be required, even though it may have a
disparate impact, if the standard can be shown to be a valid
predictor of job performance. Such a standard is called bone
fide occupational qualification
(BFOQ)
Departments utilize job task analysis to identify behaviors that
are necessary for adequate job performance
Pre-Employment Standards
Candidates are measured against a department's view of what is
required to become an effective police officer
Many departments have standards regulating these:
1. Age
2. Height and weight
4. 3. Vision
4. Physical agility and strength
5. Residency
6. Education
In addition to pre-employment standards, departments will
conduct an investigation of a applicant's past experience,
behavior, and work history. This process is composed of:
1. Background investigation
2. Polygraph examination – illegal in some jurisdictions
3. Psychological testing
4. Medical testing
Pre-employment tests include:
1. Written exams and performance
2. Personal interview
Police Academy
Academy training is one of the strongest training investments
that potential police officers can make
There are approximately 625 state and local academies
operating in the US
The greatest amount of time is spent on firearms training,
followed by physical fitness, investigations, self-defense, patrol
procedures, emergency vehicle operations, and basic first
aid/CPR
Recruits not only learn official information, but they also learn
unofficial boundaries and rules in police culture
Most academies operate under the stress-academy model;
militaristic type training
83 % of academies train on identifying community problems
60% provide training on the S.A.R.A. model
80% provide some sort of terrorism training
When departments fail to train their officers adequately,
5. liability becomes an issue
City of Canton v. Harris (1989) ruled that departments were
liable civilly when officers violated citizen's rights as a result
of a failure to train
In a study of 1500 lawsuits, the following were what was
brought up most often in regard to inadequate training:
Use of force, false arrest, search or seizure, failure to protect,
detainee suicide, use of emergency vehicle, and provision of
medical assistance
Field Training Offer Program
FTO program serves two purposes:
1. Some things in policing can only be learned through
experience (training)
2. Serves as an evaluation phase for new officers (selection)
Most programs last around 14 weeks, which is divided into
three 4-week phases and a 2-week evaluation period
A trainee is typically assigned to different FTOs and different
shifts during the three 4 week phases
If an officer does not do well during any of these phases, they
may have to repeat them
Phases of the FTO program:
1. Phase I – introductory phase, trainee is taught basic skills,
including officer safety and other areas of liability to the
organization and officer
2. Phase II – continuation of phase I, trainee begins to apply
their mastery of skills. Report writing, traffic enforcement, and
crime scene investigation become routine for the trainee
3. Phase III – characterized by advanced skills training and
polishing of skills already learned
4. Phase IV – evaluation period; the trainee takes on the role of
6. primary officer while the FTO observes
Daily Observation Reports are completed by FTOs
Police Training Offer Program
PTO is an alternative to training new officers
Differs from traditional training in that it doesn't emphasize
repetitive skill and rote memory capabilities but focuses on
developing an officer's learning capability, leadership, and
problem-solving skills
Problem-based Learning is a process that stimulates problem
solving, critical thinking, and team participation. Trainees begin
with a problem, rather than getting a problem to solve at the end
of class. Trainees decide what
information is needed and develop a course of action to solve
the problem.
PTO covers two primary training areas:
1. Substantive topics – the most common activities in policing
2. Core competencies – the required, common skills which
officers engage in, and are required to utilize in daily
performance of their duties
New officers must successfull y pass 15 core competencies
In-Service Training
Because of the ever-changing manner of the criminal justice
system, training is a continual need
In-service training is the most commonly used method for
maintaining and improving officer performance; may also
reduce the likely hood of complaints and litigation
Used to recertify, refresh, or provide new information to
officers in the most critical areas of their job, including
7. weapons qualification, driving, defensive tactics, and changes
in law
BJS survey found 92% of local police departments had an
annual in-service training requirement, for non-probationary
officers
Promotion
Promotion is usually based on several criteria including an
officer's
Time on the job or time in rank
Past performance
Written examinations
Oral interview
College hours or degree
Lateral entry refers to the ability of an officer, at the patrol or
supervisory level, to transfer form one department to another,
usually without losing seniority
