Abstract

Recruit training is a key element in police personnel management in the United States. Modern police managers easily recognize the importance of recruit training in terms of job performance and police professionalism. The improvement of recruit training was given special emphasis as a result of the civil disorders of the 1960's. Following a national trend, legislation requiring mandatory training of all police officers was enacted in Nebraska in 1969.
