Support for training is a key element of leadership in today's law enforcement organization. Officers on the front line know that thorough training is required for them to be effective and safe. Supervisors' credibility depends upon their demonstration to their officers that they appreciate the value of training that translates into more professional policing. Supervisors must ensure that training translates into appropriate officer attitudes and behaviors under the variety of scenarios faced by officers. As technology advances and technicians cooperate with learning theorists and those knowledgeable about frontline policing, more practical training is being provided. Advanced training techniques include video firearms training and computer software that takes trainees through tactical scenarios. Training must also take into account new technical areas associated with police work, e.g., new forensic techniques and capabilities and the role that data processing plays in increasing efficiency.
