Books in the area of policing devote anywhere from as few as two pages to as much as an entire chapter to police training. In the 21st century, it is an imperative to deliver more attention to this critical aspect of policing. Students of policing, undergraduate and graduate. should be exposed to the complexity and the ethical issues associated with the ways in which police officers are trained.
