A ROADMAP FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING By Mr. Jürgen Reimann, DCAF

General Learning (value oriented) is a precondition for education Learning, training and education depend on each other The goal of our society (professional training included) must be education. Training and learning- a lifetime investment. Training and Learning admit professional performance in all relevant job functions, particularly within the police force Police officers of all levels are responsible for their way of acting from the very beginning Conclusion: Education is what remains after what has been learnt has been forgotten.

What do we expect? Outcomes upon successful completion of a training programme: Describe contemporary behaviour concepts that account for the influence of variables in police relevant situations; Explain behaviours of people in general and perpetrators during law enforcement; Apply standardized concept(s) / rules of behaviour to counter police relevant situations Evaluate failures during officer’s own way of acting and the one of other colleague’s in action. Apply knowledge about individual social and organisational misbehaviour and/or influences on ethical behaviour and moral development to establish/ maintain a sound corporate identity in the officer’s organisation; Communicate effectively to/among citizens and colleagues.

Guiding Principles « Praise makes good police officers better and bad ones worse » Training, learning and planning and development of educational principles must respect its individual leadership as well as the organisation and its structure; Education and Training deserve appreciation and rewards; misbehaviour deserves correction; No course without marks and, following the hierarchical system, without chances for the (personal) career; No career (i.e. promotion) without function-related qualification
