A PLAN AND A GUIDEBOOK FOR PLANNING LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING ON A REGIONAL BASIS IN MICHIGAN.
Abstract
PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE PLAN IS TO ASSIST POLICE AGENCIES, UNABLE TO SUPPORT THEIR OWN TRAINING PROGRAMS, THROUGH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF REGIONAL TRAINING CENTERS IN STRATEGIC GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS. CRITERIA ARE DEFINED AND UTILIZED IN DIVIDING THE STATE INTO WORKABLE PLANNING REGIONS. SUGGESTIONS ARE PRESENTED FOR SELECTING COMMISSIONS AND CONSTRUCTING FACILITIES FOR THE REGIONS. VARIOUS METHODS AND APPROACHES USED IN OTHER STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING AGENCIES ARE PRESENTED TOWARD SOLUTION OF STATE WIDE TRAINING PROBLEMS. WHILE THE REGIONALIZED APPROACH IS EMPHASIZED, OTHER ALTERNATIVES ARE DISCUSSED SUCH AS MOBILE TRAINING UNITS AND METROPOLITAN ACADEMIES.
