AN EVALUATION OF ATTITUDES TOWARD CONTENT, LEVEL AND QUALITY OF INSTRUCTION, AND COURSE USEFULNESS OF EIGHT COURSES TAUGHT AT THE NORTH DAKOTA LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING CENTER.

Abstract

COURSES EVALUATED INCLUDED POLICE RECORDS MANAGEMENT, BASIC POLICE TRAINING, CIVIL DISTURBANCE TRAINING, ANIMAL HANDLING, SHERIFF'S CIVIL PROCESS AND ADMINISTRATION, NARCOTICS AND DANGEROUS DRUGS, POLICE COMMAND MANAGEMENT, AND SUPERVISION OF POLICE PERSONNEL. USING ONE QUESTIONNAIRE FOR STUDENTS AND ANOTHER FOR SUPERVISORS FOR ALL COURSES, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE OVERALL ATTITUDE OF BOTH PARTICIPANTS AND SUPERVISORS WAS FAVORABLE TOWARD THE DESIGN AND CONDUCT OF THE COURSES. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT THE NARCOTICS AND DANGEROUS DRUGS COURSE SHOULD BE REVIEWED AND REVISED IN LIGHT OF THE COMMENTS OF THE PARTICIPANTS ON THE EVALUATION QUESTIONNAIRE. THE APPENDIXES INCLUDE A SAMPLE OF THE EVALUATION QUESTIONNAIRE.
