In accordance with the Army's emphasis on performance-oriented instruction, this project was undertaken (1) to continue the conversion of the Basic Law Enforcement Course (BLEC) offered by the US Military Police School at Fort McClellan, Alabama, to a performance-oriented, self paced mode; (2) to develop an internal course monitoring system; and (3) to conduct a field validation study of the preparedness of BLEC graduates to perform entry level tasks at their first duty assignments. The study demonstrated that: (1) Graduates of the new BLEC were rated by their first-line supervisors and by themselves as 'prepared' or 'well prepared' to perform 41 to 43 subtasks at this level; (2) 'soft' skill subtasks were found to be more difficult than 'hard' skill subtasks with respect to achieving job preparedness; and (3) Performance-oriented, self paced training produced more effective 'hard' skill learning than traditional group-paced instruction. Greater emphasis on repeated task level performance training and testing interspersed with subtask training was recommended.

"The purpose of this research was to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of integrating holistic human performance (HHP) training into Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET). Historical data from 37 police officer trainees (28 males, 9 females; M = 25.78 years) who completed BLET at a police department training academy in the southeastern United States were analyzed to determine the acceptability and efficacy of HHP training. Efficacy of HHP training was measured by comparing Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) scores, resting Heart Rate Variability, and BLET performance scores of those trainees who received HHP training to those who did not. One-way between-groups Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) supported efficacy for trainee performance during the Practical Skills Unity of BLET instruction; there was a statistically significant difference in performance between trainees that received HHP training and those that did not. Additionally, acceptability of HHP training was supported based on trainee responses to 5-point Likert-scale and open-ended items on end-of-program evaluation surveys completed by the BLET trainees who received HHP training. Trainees reported that they enjoyed HHP training, it increased their knowledge, helped them feel more prepared for beginning a career in law enforcement, and they would recommend including it in future BLET classes. Overall, findings support the feasibility of integrating HHP training into BLET. Future research should build upon these findings to improve HHP training in BLET."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

In his capacity as researcher and director of the Police Training Institute at the University of Illinois, Michael T. Charles undertook the difficult task of making needed changes to the police training academy curriculum. In Police Training: Breaking All the Rules, he gives the reader an overview of the history of police training in Illinois and follows with a description of the organizational and cultural changes that he helped to bring about. These include discussions of changes in areas such as method of teaching (pedagogical versus andragogical), discipline (quasi-military versus nonmilitary), and fitness training (morning program versus wellness program). The author also describes the steps taken to redefine student rules and regulations regarding an Honor Code and dress code. He outlines the administrative goal of providing recruits the opportunity to learn to follow orders in an atmosphere of mutual respect, an expectation of success, and team effort. Instructional personnel and staff were key to the process of changing the Institute and its culture. The author relates the actions taken to develop standards of quality including a mission statement, goals, and organizational philosophy. As a result of the director's efforts, the Institute's reputation for quality training, research, and innovation had been greatly enhanced and is now a leader in police training.
