Educating police leaders
The focus of the article is on the proposed reforms to the training and education of senior police officers. The extraordinary pace of national and international change is stretching the knowledge, skills, and values of policing professions. That is why any proposed reform must begin with a change in the mindset that acknowledges these challenges and seeks to solve them. Reforming police education and training will be a long and difficult process that demands leadership and requires changing perspectives, work styles, and good relationships between all stakeholders. This paper calls for the most important constituencies to debate the proposed reforms before taking action on them. It will be suggested that the police and professional educators are key players in this dialogue since change will not be possible without their leadership and ownership.

Abstract

The focus of the article is on the proposed reforms to the training and education of senior police officers. The extraordinary pace of national and international change is stretching the knowledge, skills, and values of policing professions. That is why any proposed reform must begin with a change in the mindset that acknowledges these challenges and seeks to solve them. Reforming police education and training will be a long and difficult process that demands leadership and requires changing perspectives, work styles, and good relationships between all stakeholders. This paper calls for the most important constituencies to debate the proposed reforms before taking action on them. It will be suggested that the police and professional educators are key players in this dialogue since change will not be possible without their leadership and ownership.
