Abstract

Police education has shown a pronounced improvement during three eras in American police history. as the Reform Era arrived, the police academy was invented. With it, citizen expectations for the police expanded, and the level of competence exhibited by police grew. After the 1960s came the invention of the FTO and the creation of ongoing, in-service training requirements. in recent years, academics in many places-but by no means everywhere-are taking a more collegial approach to training, aimed especially at COP- style policing and the achievement of genuine professionalism. The Korean police training system is less efficient in education methodology, more inappropriate in the switch system of school education and practice, and poorer in educational environment, among others. Based on my findings, this paper recommends several improvement tips. First, legal stipulations on police training should be integrated and detailed. Second, active participation by preliminary police officers should be emphasized in the class of police training. Third, contents and hours for practice should be emphasized to maximize effects of the "switch system." Fourth, the educational environment of the Academy should be improved.

미국 경찰 역사상 3세기 동안 경찰 교육도 상당히 개선되었음을 보여주고 있다. 경찰학교 탄생과 더불어 일반 국민이 경찰에 거는 기대도 커졌으며 경찰이 보여주는 능력도 성장했다. 1960년대 이후 현장 훈련 과정, 기관 내 훈련 등을 개발 운영해오고 있다. 최근 몇 년 동안 여러 지역의 경찰학교 훈련에서 대학식 접근법을 택하고 있는데 특히 COP식 경찰 업무 수행과 전문화를 이루도록 하는데 목표를 두고 있다. 우리나라는 관련법규의 미정비, 비체계적인 교육과정, 학교교육과 실습교육의 Switch System의 한계, 열악한 교육여건 및 환경 등이 문제점으로 대두되고 있어 개선을 위한 방안은 첫째, 교육훈련 법규를 통합, 정비 둘째, 교과과정을 체계적으로 개편 셋째, 교육훈련효과의 극대화를 위하여 Switch System을 정착 넷째, 교육여건 및 교육환경을 개선시켜야 한다.
