Pedagogical Strategies for Continuous Training in the Police System

The need to adapt to the permanent changes that occur in the social, economical, technical and technological environments, has made that the continuous professional training in organizational space to be recognized as an investment in human resources, with multiple benefits for both the overall goals of the organization, and to increase personal satisfaction at work, too. Although the Romanian police system has registered multiple signs of progress in which concerns the process of professional training for its personnel, we believe that the didactic strategy of organization and conveyance for police force-oriented training programs can be improved. For this purpose, we strongly suggest the following: an identification of current conceptions for various hierarchical levels, an analysis of actual training needs of the personnel, setting up continual training programs that observe adult learning principles, setting up targets, contents, methods and means of training based on the specific features of a certain job and an application of specific criteria of assessment of the results.
