Chiefs Survey for Training and Digital Photpgraphy Needs |
|
|
|
Dear Chiefs:
We all know that the areas of selection and training are vital to policing. As a member of the Research Advisory Committee (RAC) of the IACP, and the sub-committee of the RAC, National Law Enforcement Research Agenda (NLERA), I want to mention that these areas, selection and training, were among the major concerns indicated by chiefs in a national survey by the IACP last fall. Subsequently, these topics were identified by the NLERA at a recent meeting and will be presented (among other topics) for final approval by the full RAC and the IACP board to be included in the NLERA research priorities. In one of my other roles, I am an assessor for CALEA which provides an opportuni ty to review the policies being implemented by accredited agencies around the country concerning training.
Please respond to the questionnaire by clicking on the link below. Your participation is greatly appreciated.
