N2  - In this paper the position is taken that the best way to prepare officers for policing based on democratic values is through an andragogy approach to training (mutual involvement of the expert and the novice in the learning process) rather than through the traditional pedagogy approach (the transmission of information from the expert to the learner). Furthermore, the education and training of police officers must be grounded in experimental learning, oriented toward problem-solving, and it must emphasize critical thinking and the values and goals of a democratic society. The training and education of officers must continue throughout their careers and personnel from all levels within the organization should continue to obtain the education and training needed to be effective in completing the tasks associated with the positions they hold.<p />
