The problem: Lack of advancement training
beyond the recruit
Today, law enforcement agencies and their officers face
higher expectations – and greater scrutiny – than ever
before. Effective training is an important tool to help
police departments serve their communities and meet
citizens’ expectations. But beyond the law enforcement
field training program, most departments can’t easily
customize training to prepare officers for advanced roles
in the agency.
With more and more police departments facing staffing
issues, there aren’t enough resources to build custom
programs that address the advanced training needs of
officers when they step into a new role as a detective or
get promoted to a sergeant.
Departments’ limited ability to offer established training
programs for new roles puts them at risk of losing
valuable knowledge and experience on how to perform
their most specialized positions. Unit supervisors and
senior officers are gold mines of the best practices and
procedures for the most advanced roles in the agency.
But, what would happen if they all retired tomorrow?
The solution: Law enforcement field
training software
PowerDMS’ law enforcement field training software,
PowerReady, empowers law enforcement agencies to
easily develop new role training programs with easy-to-
use templates and workflows that fit their unique needs.
PowerReady not only helps you keep officers up-to-date
on the latest industry training, but it also gives you the
tools you need to ensure your officers are equipped for
excellence at every level.
