Police training
Under police training is meant generally the basic and advanced training of police officers. The training of police officers can vary greatly in different states, due to the understanding of the police in each state. Several factors play a role here. Have an influence, among other things
- the form of government
- equipping the police with funds and equipment
- the separation between police and military
- the constitutional role of the police
- the position of the police authority within a (federal) state
- the employment relationship of the police officers with the respective employer.
requirements
This also results in the requirements for future police officers. In some cases, requirements are placed on previous education, citizenship and physical fitness; in some cases, it is imperative to stand up for the current system of government in order to defend it.
education
Possible forms of training are on the one hand well-founded training similar to that in Germany, Austria or Switzerland with a pronounced legal education and the advocacy of the constitution of the respective state as in most European countries ( France , Great Britain , Italy etc.) via an employment relationship with a training period of 6 weeks up to 2 years with the state, state or municipality as in the United States of America (for example the campus police at universities, community police, state police) up to a short-term apprenticeship with subsequent military tasks as in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Use after training also plays a role. If a police officer has only representative tasks after the training (use in music corps or at receptions) or if he performs security duties, he will also receive a different training than, for example, competent officers in the fight against international crime. As in Germany, these qualifications represent advanced training courses; these are usually preceded by regular training.
