Questionnaires were mailed to a random sampling of individuals listed in the 1985 International Association of Chiefs of Police directory and the entire Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences membership. Usable responses were received from 355 educators and 234 police administrators. The survey asked respondents to indicate the percentage of training time that should be required in each training area and how they believed the other group would prioritize training time. Both groups ranked patrol and investigation, force and weaponry, and communications as being the most important. Both also ranked human relations training last. Statistical differences, however, occurred between the two groups. Criminal justice educators and police administrators did not agree on the value of time needed for training, with the exception of law and written and oral communications training. Implications of these findings are discussed. 21 references.
