OUTLINE OF PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE SWEDISH POLICE TRAINING PROGRAM TO BE PUT INTO EFFECT IN THE PERIOD FROM 1976 THROUGH 1981.
Abstract
INSPECTORS' COURSE NO 1 AND INSPECTORS' COURSE NO 2 WILL PROBABLY BE MERGED TOGETHER INTO ONE COURSE WHICH WOULD BE OBLIGATORY FOR ALL INSPECTORS. THE COURSE WOULD LAST 20 WEEKS, AND WILL PROBABLY BEGIN IN 1977. THE INTERMEDIATE POLICE OFFICERS' COURSE WOULD BE TAKEN FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS AFTER COMPLETING THE BASIC COURSE INSTEAD OF THREE TO FIVE YEARS LATER, AS AT PRESENT. ABOUT 600 POLICE OFFICERS WILL PROBABLY TAKE THIS COURSE EACH YEAR, BEGINNING IN THE 1975-1976 TRAINING YEAR. THE ADVANCED POLICE OFFICERS' COURSE, WHICH NOW IS TAKEN ONLY BY POLICEMEN WHO WERE HIRED BEFORE JULY 1, 1967, AND HAVE BEEN PROMOTED AT LEAST ONCE, WOULD BE OPENED UP TO INCLUDE PEOPLE HIRED BETWEEN 1962 AND 1967 AND WHO HAVE NOT BEEN PROMOTED. --IN SWEDISH
