THE CONSULTANTS REVIEWED THE MPTC'S HISTORY AS WELL AS LITERATURE PERTAINING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING, EVALUATION, TESTING, AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT. IN ADDITION, ONSITE VISITS WERE MADE TO MPTC TRAINING CENTERS AND SEVERAL TRAINING OFFICERS WERE INTERVIEWED. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT A MISSION STATEMENT OF THE MPTC ENUMERATING THE PURPOSE AND FUTURE OF THE TRAINING PROGRAM MUST BE DEVELOPED AND DESIGN CRITERIA AND PERFORMANCE GOALS SHOULD BE DESIGNED CONGRUENT TO THE MISSION. OTHER CONCLUSIONS CALL FOR REVISION OF TESTING PROCEDURES AND ENTRANCE-LEVEL COURSE EVALUATION INSTRUMENTS; REASSESSMENT OF CURRENT MANPOWER STRENGTH AND INSTRUCTOR TRAINING; AND THE PURCHASE OF COMPUTER HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE TO AID IN DATA COLLECTION, ANALYSIS, AND RETRIEVAL. RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BROKEN DOWN INTO THREE SECTIONS - GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS INDICATING ACTIVITIES WHICH MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO EVALUATION PLANNING; ENABLING RECOMMENDATIONS DESCRIBING ACTIVITIES WHICH MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO EVALUATION IMPLEMENTATION; AND SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS OUTLINING ACTUAL EVALUATION ACTIVITIES.
