Why does the regional training concept offer many remedies?'
What will be an ideal response?
Not all training academies can afford the new technology and facilities and if they can, it is not always cost effective. For example, a regional academy can provide a wide range of courses and equipment to service an entire region that includes police agencies of all sizes and jurisdictional limits. One common example is a firing range. An indoor range is quite expensive in terms of equipment and maintenance. It does not make sense to have a firing range unless it is in use year around for basic and in-service/re-qualifications training. Another example is a driving track which is not only expensive but requires a large land area. Again there is a need to justify this expense in offering a wide range of courses – tactical driving, driving instructor, etc. – and this can only be accomplished with serving many agencies in a regional area.
