Book Andragogical Instruction for Effective Police Training

Download or read book Andragogical Instruction for Effective Police Training written by Robert F. Vodde and published by Cambria Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book details a 2-year study that examined and compared the efficacy of an andragogical instructional methodology to that of a traditional, prescriptive, pedagogical, and militaristic format of basic police training. The study not only revealed that an andragogical approach yielded greater outcomes in terms of skills and competencies, but was preferred among recruits, in great part due to the emphasis placed on experiential learning and a collegiate and collaborative approach to learning. In his research, Robert F. Vodde identified six thematic, categorical constructs by which basic police training programs can be organized and administered, to include the importance for not only working within a quasi-military hierarchal organizational structure, but in preparing recruits for the emotional and physical challenges associated with police work. When properly administered, an andragogical approach represents a well-planned and skillfully orchestrated process that holistically integrates all aspects of the curriculum; one that capitalizes on the use of multi-sensory, experiential, hands-on learning activities that allow recruits to apply what they have learned. Considering the short and long-term impacts of basic police training, Vodde illuminates in this book that "an andragogical instructional methodology serves as a pragmatic, effective, and responsive approach to training"; it is one that creates a physical and psychological climate that takes into consideration the affective needs of the recruit, thus providing for a healthy, engaging, challenging, and collaborative atmosphere in which future police officers "develop a clear understanding and perspective of their role within the greater context of society."

Book TRAINING THE SWAT TRAINER

Download or read book TRAINING THE SWAT TRAINER written by Tomas C. Mijares and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few areas in American law enforcement are characterized by the frequency, quality, and magnitude of innovations as the advances found in tactical operations. To introduce new equipment and methods during an actual operation without adequate instruction, assessment, preparation, and practice not only invites failure but also subjects an entire organizational chain of command to preventable criticism and avoidable litigation. The purpose of this manual is to introduce police instructional personnel to the legal, administrative, and safety issues associated with this very critical area of police training. Its purpose is not to create a cookbook approach to tactical training or even develop a better instructional cadre but rather to present the guidelines to mitigate litigation both at the individual and organizational levels through a proactive approach to the occasional criticism directed toward police tactical training. Major topics include: the SWAT instructor, establishing learning goals and objectives and writing lesson plans, engaging the student, presenting the material, training aids and facilities, the need for continuous training and evaluation, documentation, adhering to standards of the profession, and special considerations of training in defense tactics. The book’s recurring theme is the warning that any technique, tactic, or new technology taught by an instructor must be applied in a manner that is consistent with existing organizational policy, state and federal legislation, and relevant case law. Substantial legal and operational guidelines are provided that are needed by tactical leaders to develop and improve their leadership skills and tactical success. Additionally, the appendices contain a wealth of information regarding state law enforcement regulatory agencies; national, regional, and state tactical officer associations; sample lesson plans, including evaluation drills; instructor evaluation questionnaire; and curriculum evaluation.

Training Program Services Bureau and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes an approach to community-based cultural awareness training. The program must start with support from the top administrator to be effective.

Each law enforcement agency should select and train a cultural awareness facilitator. This approach will assist agencies in developing capabilities for ongoing cultural awareness training.

Book The Use of Classroom Discussion at a Law Enforcement Training Academy

Download or read book The Use of Classroom Discussion at a Law Enforcement Training Academy written by Cynthia L. Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to solve problems, think critically, and communicate effectively are necessary traits in law enforcement officers (LEOs). Individuals responsible for instructing LEOs must employ adult learning strategies to provide LEOs the opportunity to share ideas, experiences, beliefs, and knowledge. Discussion is one learning strategy that invites participation in sharing information. However, law enforcement training traditionally has incorporated teacher-centered methods that limit students sharing experiences and learning from each other. The purpose of this case study was to examine what instructors at a law enforcement training academy understand about using discussion in the classroom. The study used adult learning theory and experiential learning theory as its theoretical framework. Three guiding questions examined how academy instructors perceive discussion, if they use it effectively, and if any barriers exist to using it. Data analysis was conducted using coding methods, member checking, and comparing observations with interviews. Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews of 7 instructors were coded for common words, phrases, and themes. Results of the interviews revealed 5 themes: sharing experiences, identifying barriers, using teaching strategies, understanding the classroom environment, and distinguishing nonverbal communication. Results of the observations revealed 2 themes: barriers and encouragement to classroom discussion. Findings from the data guided the development of a professional workshop focusing on the use of discussion for instructors at the law enforcement training academy. Implications for positive social change included enhanced instruction and learning at the facility studied as well as at other law enforcement training environments.

Book excerpt: This book is intended for police officers who want to improve their communication skills in the context of implementing the goals and objectives of community policing.

Chapter 2 is designed to improve an officer's interpersonal communication, as community policing increases the number of interactions between an officer and the community. Chapter 3 considers the dynamics of work groups. Step-by-step instructions are provided for planning and leading a small, task-oriented group meeting. Chapter 4 focuses on public speaking, as it teaches officers how to prepare and deliver a talk before a group; and Chapter 5 instructs officers in how to prepare for and lead a community meeting. Topics cover selecting a presentation format, planning the details of your meeting, and dealing with a hostile audience. Remaining chapters focus on creative problem-solving techniques, ways to convince others to support a creative solution and become involved in an action plan for change, and ways to publicize a program through the media and other means.
