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.

Creating Training for Law Enforcement provides a process for creating training that is based on decades of learning science and instructional design processes, but customized for the restrictions and needs of law enforcement. The foundational principle of this book is creating a process that documents every step of creating training, what I call creating a “training chain of evidence.” Courts and attorneys are starting to attack training design and function, as well as attacking the instructors who write it using their “background, training, and experience.”
This is not a book on learning theories, tactics, or how people learn – there are plenty of books that already cover this. Instead, it provides a process, quality assurance methodology, and rigor that makes your training defensible if it goes to court, what we were not taught in instructor courses.
