OUTLINES SOME OF THE ADJUSTMENTS WHICH MUST BE MADE BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WHO GOES INTO THE FIELD OF EDUCATION AS A TEACHER.
Abstract
ONE OF THE FIRST CHANGES THE FULL-TIME LAW ENFORCEMENT INSTRUCTOR WILL FEEL IS HIS LOSS OF OFFICIAL STATUS. IT MAY ALSO BE NECESSARY FOR THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE INSTRUCTOR TO MAKE A CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO DEMONSTRATE HIS CLASSROOM OBJECTIVITY AND WILLINGNESS TO DISCUSS CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECTS FREELY. THE INSTRUCTOR SHOULD STRIVE TO SHOW IMPARTIALITY TOWARD IN-SERVICE LAW ENFORCEMENT STUDENTS. THE TEACHER MUST STRUCTURE TEACHING TECHNIQUES TO SUIT NOT JUST THE SUBJECT BUT THOSE HE IS TEACHING. THE FULL-TIME LAW ENFORCEMENT INSTRUCTOR CAN ALSO BE EFFECTIVE IN GAINING COMMUNITY SUPPORT OF THE RESIDENT COLLEGE.
