Abstract
Police Education and Training is an important issue especially given that the function of policing is continually changing. Today police are expected to take on many other functions in addition to their core functions. There has been no attempt in the past to compare police education and training across jurisdictions and trying to understand what are police officers perceptions of training and educational needs. This research attempts to bridge this gap and provides a comparative analysis on methods and processes as well as curriculum development in police education and training. The study using critical hermeneutical methodology analyses the perception of needs that officers have for content and design of police education and training programmes. The research outlines content and methods that officers feel should be used to enhance police education and training. All participants agreed on a basic set of principles that should be applied when educating and training police officers that will lead to the professionalization of the force.
