BBC 6/12/2018 News Police tactics and community relations under scrutiny Readers air their views on the Metropolitan police The Guardian 6/12/2018 Feature, Opinion Higher Education For Police Professionals. the Dutch Case In the Netherlands, already for some 20 years, a discourse on the relevance and nature of higher education for police professionals can be traced. To explain this discourse, the article consists of a reconstruction of the trajectory of change and an assessment of the current situation. Furthermore, a future perspective is included, which largely runs parallel with other forms of higher education for professions in the public sector. Key concepts, for instance, are the ‘reflective practitioner’ and the ‘hybrid professional’. Also, a case is presented on the education of reflective practices, which exemplifies a didactics of teaching and learning in police practice. More than ever a close cooperation between police practice and police education is needed, as well as a clear focus on how ‘learning by doing’ relates to the need of a solid knowledge base.

In particular, very few studies have focused on the training period, between when an individual chooses a police career and his/her first day as an officer. A total of 1,979 pre-university students from seven colleges in Quebec (Canada) completed a self-administered survey where they had to answer general questions about the police followed by specific questions about four realistic videos of fictional police interventions involving use of force. Unsurprisingly, the analysis suggests that students in Police Technology tend to think they are more supportive of the police and the use of force than students in other programs. However, students in Police Technology increasingly indicate that the majority of people would report a more negative opinion than they have, suggesting that police candidates increasingly disidentify with the rest of the population.
