Note
Presented at the Economics of Policing: Police Education and Learning Summit held in Charlottetown, September 17 and 18, 2013.
Issued also in French under the title: Éducation et formation en ligne et les paramètres économiques des services de police : enjeux et stratégies.
Summary
"Education and training hold considerable potential to improve policing, although similar to the general discussions of the economics of policing, there are few evaluations. Deliberations on police learning are occurring within the larger framework of the economics of policing and on-line education (OE) is being touted as an effective cost-reduction strategy. It is uncertain whether a direct cost-benefit framework can be applied to learning."--Page 2.
