Résumé
"This study is a longitudinal analysis of three consecutive Justice Institute of British Columbia Police Academy cohorts (n=90). Questionnaires were administered during the first and final weeks of the eight-month training process. Respondents indicated their perceptions, expectations, and attitudes toward various aspects of police work, and an overall assessment of their training. The majority of officers have positive and realistic expectations regarding their careers and the Academy training program. Future research and policy implications are discussed."--Page iii.
