Police Training

Police training courses or police recruitment courses are specific courses that have been designed to train candidates how exactly to pass the police recruitment process. These courses in many cases are taken or created by current serving police officers or those people who have an understanding of the police recruitment process. Therefore they are able to train candidates who are currently going through the recruitment process exactly what is required of these at each stage.

Police training courses typically take candidates from the police application form stage entirely right through to the ultimate one using one interview. The only aim is to help candidates secure the dream job as a officer by helping them demonstrate that they have the qualities of a police officer. The courses will often take candidates through the applying form and demonstrate to them what type of responses the police recruitment staff search for and how their answers are marked. The course will then proceed to examine the police role play, the police tests and the police interview, and at each stage providing tips and suggestions about what is required from candidates.

These police courses are typically 1 day courses the place where a candidate spends the day in an area with other candidates learning from a tutor what is required. However, the question arises is this right or wrong? Should people be allowed to go to these courses and doesn't it give candidates an unfair advantage?

As the answers to these questions aren't easy it is worth considering both parties as there are arguments in favour of both. Some may suggest that these courses aren't irrelevant as candidates stand equally as much chance when they do or do not attend the course as long as they devote the proper level of preparation beforehand and a lot of the information shared on the course are available out through research. However, others have suggested that the sort of information revealed is not at all something you would manage to find through research and it can give you the edge over another candidates.

The other issue these police training  courses raise is the idea of money providing you access to information otherwise not offered to candidates. Is this really fair? Should those people who are willing to pay for to understand from ex police recruitment staff be allowed to take action? Well, the theory is that yes, if the demand for these types of police recruitment courses is strong enough but to actually answer the question you need to put yourself in the positioning of the candidate applying for the job. In the event that you wanted becoming a officer and there is a way to study on people who know what is takes to succeed then this author feels most candidates would jump at the chance, if not to gain an edge but more to ensure they are fully prepared for what the assessment process throws at them.
