Police English as a Second Language Training
Suggestions for Police English as a Second Language Training
Looking at language training for any profession can not be viewed from a single perspective.
The Canadian police perform a vital and ever-changing role and function in a very complex society.
The historic function of walking a beat and catching street criminals is still performed along with employing aggressive softwares to thwart cyber crime.
The police have inherited several roles which include parenting, the care of victims and the disadvantaged.
The impact of local gang violence and international criminal mercenaries is present in almost every country.
Professional police officers have to be full time students.
The politicians acting as either leaders or followers change the laws and the police have to keep up to date.
Criminals are constantly developing new techniques to steal and elude detection and evade capture.
To be a professional police officer you have to have a tremendous volume of general knowledge and at least one or two specialties. To work in a professional police force you have to be both independent and a team player and able to work seamlessly with other agencies.
In Canada the police have to be able to work fluently in English or French.
In Canada to function as a professional police officer you have to understand both the language, the culture and community.
For police candidates who lived in other countries for the first 25 or 30 years before moving to Canada - they have a tremendous amount of studying to undertake to understand the language, the culture, how the community operates, the Canadian laws and functions of the police.
Everyone’s nightmare is be on holiday and rushed to a hospital somewhere with chest pains only to be greeted by the doctor who stopped learning forty years ago and does not know what nitroglycerin pills are or the intern who can not read the English instructions for the internal heart defibulator. Everyone expects Canadian doctors to be current and professional. Everyone expects the police to be the same.
Police candidates should be able to constantly study and understand the importance of staying ahead of the curve. The full time studies should have started long before becoming police candidates, accelerated when training and increase again when given their badge.
For police candidates who lived in other countries for the first 25 or 30 years before moving to Canada - the sooner they start the accelerated study program the better prepared they will be when out on the street.
