 Why Law Enforcement Needs to take a Science-Based Approach to Training and Education is a report available at this link.

"Law enforcement has experienced significant challenges in 2020.

Recent events have sparked a nationwide discussion on the role law enforcement plays in society. As such, our communities are demanding and deserve highly trained law enforcement personnel equipped with the decision-making skills required to handle the increasingly complex calls for service that officers face nationwide.

This can only be accomplished by evaluating current police training methods against what science has proven to be effective. To this end, IADLEST and its Partner Advisory Committee (IPAC) have created a digital report as a reference guide for chiefs, sheriffs, mayors, risk managers, Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Directors, training academy directors and all those who have an investment in police training and education.

Use this tool to transform the quality of your law enforcement training and education in ways that will contribute to lasting progress."
