What is the purpose of police training?

What will be an ideal response?


Training introduces new skills and socializes personnel into their work roles. Lack of morale, surges of unnecessary grievances, and negative interactions with citizens often can be linked to the lack of training. What results is negative publicity and time spent on internal investigations and the disciplinary processes.

Poor judgment in a critical situation can be linked to the lack of training particularly in use of force incidents. Often, civil lawsuits filed against police departments can be linked to the lack of training, or raise the issue of how officers were trained in the first place.
