Project Overview

Summary

Conduct research on the effectiveness of certain training elements and curriculum to change officer behavior and generate desired system outcomes; implement changes to training content, delivery and cadence as necessary.

Planned use of results

Administrative rule change by the Standards Commissions; local agency policy change; state agency policy change.

Data

Training data lives with the North Carolina Justice Academy. The researcher(s) doing this project would help to develop a definition of officer behavior and system outcomes and measure those accordingly.

The project is in progress.

We plan to post results and deliverables when the project is complete. In the meantime, we welcome questions about the project.
