Eight articles on important aspects of training written by members of the IACP Education and Training Committee are presented.
Abstract
The first article reports on the Education and Training Committee, its organizational framework and the functions of the five subcommittees. The second article describes the major duties and responsibilities of Police Officer Standards and Training Commissions as mandated by the Presidents Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice and its three decades of growth. A description of advanced and specialized training offered by the National Center for State and Local Training, a component of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) located in Glynco, Georgia follows. The Virginia Training System and the Los Angeles Police Department Detective Training Program are described in the fourth and fifth article. The need for replicative firearms training is examined in the sixth article and a survey by Purdue University's Automotive Transportation Center on Indiana's drunk driving enforcement training is presented in the seventh article. The last article describes the Student Actuated Training System (SATS), a videotape and computer program developed in April 1990 as a prototype police inservice training medium at the Bristol Police Department in Connecticut. 1 table and 4 references
