Manual on Training for Sheriffs.
Giddings, Larry A.; And Others
As part of a nationwide effort to professionalize the role of sheriff, this manual is designed to aid sheriffs who are in the process of planning or conducting a training program. In chapter 1 eleven specific objectives are identified for a department giving a training program: (1) to provide each deputy with the ability to function by himself; (2) to enable him to understand his role as a law enforcement officer; (3) to improve his communication skills; (4) to promote team work; (5) to conform to established police standards; (6) to develop specialized knowledge; (7) to keep the staff modern in attitudes, methods of operation, and equipment; (8) to obtain a basis for evaluating personnel; (9) to develop special abilities; (10) to evaluate standards of performance; and (11) to promote morale. Chapter 2 examines the value of training programs, emphasizing their planning and benefits and calling for legislative support and funding. Chapters 3-10 cover the topics of training personnel, facilities, equipment, methods, courses, schedules, evaluation, and resources. The major portion of this manual (chapter 7) focuses on the training courses, establishing five levels: top management, middle management, supervisory, refresher inservice, and basic recruit. A suggested curriculum outline is presented together with a bibliography and list of training films for each curriculum subject. Also included are the law enforcement code of ethics and a brief history of the sheriff's role. (ELG)
