Training and education play an essential role in shaping officer behavior and decision-making and include a combination of skills-based training and broader educational instruction in law and law enforcement practices. A comprehensive training and education plan integrates various forms of learning, such as train-the-trainer, academy instruction, and field training, and is aligned with an agency’s vision, incentive structure, and accountability mechanisms.
