The training section is accountable for
coordinating the development and administration of training programs
throughout the agency. As agencies are held legally accountable for
the actions of their personnel and for failing to provide initial or
remedial training, the importance of the training function is more
crucial now than ever before. Training serves three broad purposes:
First, well-trained officers are better prepared to act decisively
and correctly in a broad spectrum of situations. Second, training
results in greater productivity and effectiveness. Third, training
fosters cooperation and unity of purpose.
Training includes CPR, first aid, firearms instruction, hazardous
materials, officer safety, crime scene, self defense, community
policing, driving and many others. |
