Résumé
"The primary objectives of this study were to conduct a literature review and to conduct an interview-based survey noting the state of use of force training in Canada. The goals of the literature review were to identify factors that influence police skill perishability, identify empirical based evidence that supports the timing of police use of force skills refresher training and recertification and to identify teaching principles and techniques that will promote long term skill retention. The goals of the survey were to identify basic approaches used by training academies for use of force skill acquisition, identify refresher training approaches and finally identify empirical based evidence that supports the timing of police use of force skills refresher training and recertification."--Page i.
