We adapt Learning and Development science to the unique needs of law enforcement.
Law enforcement training is a very particular type of training – practices and methods that work in the civilian world won’t necessarily transfer to the street. Training has to be realistic to what officers will face and transferable to where the work occurs.
Law Enforcement Training and Education Consultants recognizes that learning for law enforcement has higher stakes – it has to be legally defensible. We know that there are some things that just cannot work or need specialized adaptation to work effectively for law enforcement training. LEOs are held to higher standards, so the training needs to be also.
New book release!
Fundamentals of Creating Training for Law Enforcement provides what I call the Minimum Acceptable Product (MAP) of creating training for law enforcement. The MAP for creating training is the basics of what is often covered in instructor basic classes and then typically falling short of meeting learning science and instructional design standards. While what is covered in instructor basic meets the minimum standards of most POSTs, academies, and agencies, it is needs to meet higher standards to improve the quality of education and training for law enforcement.
This book covers most of what you are currently doing, but aligns it with established instructional design methods, processes, and research. It improves your course creation and puts it all in the right order, which most instructor basic courses also get wrong. You will learn that there is more to Bloom’s than one domain and how to write performance objectives that actually get to training, not just education. You will also learn how to design course materials that start creating a “learning chain of evidence,” as well as fills the gaps in instructor basics, what “analysis” means and how to do it.
This book is the middle step between instructor basic and the more in-depth, step-by-step process covered in Creating Training for Law Enforcement.
