Review of training and development in the police federation of England and Wales

Abstract

This report emanated from a research project led by the author commissioned by the Police Federation of England and Wales in order to evaluate the extent to which the training and other support it provided for its members was appropriate to their needs at the start of the 21st century. The report describes the quantitative and qualitative process of data collection. It makes sixty nine recommendations which represent a radical agenda for transforming the Federation into a true 'learning organisation'. The Federation's Joint Central Committee continues to act upon these recommendations to support its ambitions and aspirations. Davies was subsequently employed as a consultant to support the process of implementing these recommendations. He was responsible for 60% of this publication
