Summary
"In summary, this research project consolidates a wide range of available literature from both policing and interdisciplinary realms to assist in the process of arriving at clear definitions for the key terms it identifies. The extensive, semi-structured interviews with a broad range of Canadian SMEs in this field, have demonstrated that establishing precise definitions for these key terms remains challenging and will complicate the overall process of arriving at both performance measures and specific costs for the complex web of training, educational, developmental and learning initiatives undertaken by Canada’s police services."
