Experiences on police education and training
In recent years, public security systems in various places have paid increasing attention to police education and training. ", "Socialist Rule of Law Concept Education", "Three Understandings and Four Meetings", "Three Comprehensions, Four Familiarity, Five Abilities", and "Specialized Troop Training" activities. Public security police from all over the country have improved their professional qualities, job skills, law enforcement concepts, etc. All have received in-depth and detailed training, and education and training work has become an inexhaustible driving force for the reform and development of the public security industry. However, we have to admit that there are still many shortcomings in our education and training work. On the whole, our police education and training are not ideal in terms of scientific, standardized and effective results. In terms of specific implementation, there are obvious deficiencies in education and training concepts, education and training content, education and training methods, education and training assessments, education and training incentives, and education and training effect evaluation. The existence of these problems has affected the full effectiveness of police education and training, making such a good thing as education and training unsatisfactory.
The report of the Seventeenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China stated: “We must fully implement the Party’s education policy, adhere to the principle of educating people and putting moral education first, implement quality education, improve the level of educational modernization, and cultivate all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical and aesthetics "As the builders and successors of socialism, we must provide education that satisfies the people." This provides the fundamental guiding ideology for why we should modernize police education and training, how we should modernize police education and training, and who should modernize police education and training. I believe that to solve the current practical problems existing in the education and training of public security police, we must innovate the education and training of the police based on the new situation, new tasks, new requirements and the actual situation of the police team.
1. Innovative police education and training concepts
Ideology is the forerunner of action, and ideas restrict action. Innovative concepts are the prerequisite for strengthening education and training. Therefore, on the basis of effective reform and innovation in education and training content, methods, incentives, etc., we must guide the majority of police officers to establish concepts that are compatible with education and training work:
First, establish that "education and training is survival and the premise and foundation for development", that is, it is clear that education and training work is a strategic and basic work that is related to the overall situation of public security work and is an inexhaustible driving force for the advancement of public security. It creates a sense of crisis in the police profession as a whole, The pressure of competition and the sense of seeking to look forward to the future make the police believe that participating in training is an investment for the future, learning for survival and development, and they actively request to participate in education and training.
The second is to establish the concept of "participating in training is work". That is to say, participating in training is work, learning is an important part of work, and learning is for better work.
The third is to establish the concept of “improving learning ability”. That is, education and training focus on training learning abilities so that police officers can learn and think in work and life, and have strong learning abilities.
2. Innovative police education and training content
Training content is the foundation of education and training work and is the direct driving force to arouse interest in police training. The current content of police education and training is often mainly based on the content required for various activities carried out by the Ministry of Public Security, provincial and municipal public security agencies every year, documents from superiors, speeches by leaders at all levels, relevant disciplinary regulations and conventional police skills. Take Yangzhou as an example: police officers who participate in training must receive training on queue etiquette and internal affairs regulations, and the training is repeated over and over again. According to the survey, what the police currently need more is training that mainly focuses on psychological correction, mass work methods, computer operation applications, job skills, information network engineering, police equipment and other knowledge. Therefore, it is imperative to innovate the content of police education and training.
The training content should be determined based on the actual reform and development of public security work and the actual training needs of police officers at different levels and positions, so as to be "complete, new and specialized". "Comprehensive" refers to the comprehensive range of education and training content. Broadly, the project is divided into political theory, laws and regulations, economic management, human resource management, police skills, network engineering, police equipment, investigation and solving of crimes, and other knowledge. "New" means that the training content keeps pace with the times and is constantly enriched and deepened. "Specialized" means focusing on the training content to highlight the professional construction characteristics of the police, focusing on "public security management, criminal investigation, psychological correction, network engineering, intelligence information, laws and regulations, mass work and other professional and technical knowledge as important items in the training content. < /p>
3. Innovative police education and training methods
The knowledge system of public security work is relatively rich, covering many fields such as public security prevention, investigation and solving of crimes, political discipline inspection, maintenance of stability, and public security administration, among which It is divided into multiple disciplines. It can be said that the coverage of knowledge is very broad, which requires us to adopt scientific education and training methods to complete such heavy education and training tasks. At present, we often simply use comprehensive training methods and all employees. The effect of training on one content is only scratching the surface. In addition, our single education model of preaching and traditional methods such as "full lecture", "copying notes" and "writing experience" with purely theoretical content have increasingly failed to improve the police's ability. Interest in learning. Therefore, our education and training methods must be innovative.
The first is to adopt a "menu-style" training method, that is, all training contents are published in the form of a menu, and police officers choose training courses according to their own needs. According to the knowledge demand characteristics of the police positions, the individual police officers The comprehensive quality can effectively control the training. What each police officer lacks, what is supplemented, what is needed, and what is trained.
The second is to launch the “go out and bring in” training method. Some subjects in police education and training cannot be engaged by our own capabilities, such as: network engineering, police resource development, psychological counselors, accountants, auditors and other professional training and on-the-job and off-the-job academic training. Excellent talents in society must be cited. Education and training resources. Therefore, in certain subject areas, police officers should be encouraged to go out and participate in well-known professional subject training and academic education in colleges and universities. They can also "invite in" and invite experts for training courses at an appropriate time.
The third is to shift the focus of training. In the past, education and training focused on the public security school training base. When would the base have arrangements, when would the police come for training? Due to the special characteristics of public security work, ensuring the safety of one party is always the basis and prerequisite for any work. Moreover, there is an objective phenomenon of insufficient front-line police force in various grass-roots units to varying degrees. Therefore, the focus of some training projects should be transferred from the base to the grass-roots level. From teachers to students, from the classroom to the front line of work, education and training are reasonably arranged according to the work characteristics of each unit and the work and rest time of the police.
The fourth is to use high-tech multimedia teaching methods. In teaching, multimedia software and hardware such as computers, projectors, slide projectors, movies, ppt courseware, etc. are used in police education and training courses, so that the training content is illustrated and text-based, with a strong intuitive three-dimensional sense, enhances the police's interest in learning, and promotes the internal awareness of the police. Chemical learning knowledge. At the same time, the public security school should give full play to the effectiveness of the public security intranet, introduce and operate its own education and training information management system, and build an online education platform with rich resources and good services.
4. Establish an incentive mechanism and assessment system for education and training
Some of the current education and training tasks are not implemented in place or the effect is not obvious. One of the very important reasons is that there is no real cooperation with the police at all levels. vital interests.
First of all, an education and training incentive mechanism should be established. First, an education and training reward and punishment system should be established. After the education and training goals are established, departments and individuals who have achieved the goals will be commended accordingly. The second is to establish a recommendation mechanism for outstanding talents. By establishing education and training files and implementing dynamic management of education and training situations, it has become an important basis for public security agencies to select talents and promote cadres. The third is to increase the publicity of police officers who study hard and achieve excellent results in education and training, so as to create a good public opinion atmosphere for education and training work.
Secondly, the education and training assessment system should be improved. First, leadership responsibilities at all levels should be clarified, and police education and training should be included in the overall work goals and performance assessment indicators of leadership teams at all levels of public security organs. The second is to formulate practical, fair and effective assessment rules based on the characteristics of education and training, and conduct strict assessment and evaluation. The third is to establish an evaluation and assessment system that combines pre-training, mid-training, and post-training for police officers. Before each course of education and training, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research to have a general understanding of the professional quality, age, and demand for knowledge of this subject among the participating police officers. During the training, the learning status of the police officers is evaluated and assessed at any time by organizing examinations and knowledge assessments. After the training, the police officers will be tracked and assessed on their ability to transform knowledge when they return to work, and the assessment of the entire training process will be included in the police education and training files.
5. Evaluation of the effectiveness of organizational education and training
The evaluation of training effectiveness means that after the public security school conducts training, it uses a certain form to evaluate the effectiveness of the training (police political quality, professional (quality, duty performance ability, work progress, etc.) are expressed in a qualitative or quantitative way, and the training effect is divided into four progressive levels based on the depth and difficulty of the evaluation - reaction layer, learning layer, behavior layer, and effect layer. Conduct evaluation:
Response level evaluation refers to the trainees’ impression of the training subjects, including their views on the training subjects, teachers, facilities, methods, content, and the size of their own gains. Combined with the police training work, the main method of response layer evaluation should be questionnaire survey. Because questionnaires are easy to administer, they usually only take a few minutes. Response questionnaires are also easy to analyze, tabulate, and summarize if properly designed. The specific implementation is at the end of the training project, collecting the police's reflections on the effectiveness and practicality of the training subjects.
Learning level assessment is currently the most common and commonly used evaluation method. It measures the trainees' understanding and mastery of training content such as principles, skills, and attitudes. When we use learning level assessment, we can use methods such as written examinations, actual job operations, and work simulations to examine.
The evaluation at the behavioral level refers to the changes in the behavior of trainees in actual work after training to determine the impact of the learned knowledge and skills on actual work. The specific implementation is that for a period of time after the training, superiors, colleagues, and subordinates will observe whether there is any difference in the abilities of the trained police officers before and after the training, and whether they have applied the knowledge learned in the training at work.
The evaluation of the effect level rises to the level of the organization, that is, it is judged whether the training has a specific and direct contribution to public security reform and scientific development.
It can be measured through some indicators, such as the level of political theory, task completion data, duty status, police mental outlook, and external evaluation of various public security work. Through the analysis of such specific indicators, the effects and benefits brought by education and training can be observed from the overall work.
In short, public security work is in the midst of a tide of change, making great strides towards socialization, intelligence, and informatization. As an important link in the overall work of public security, police education and training must be guided by the spirit of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with bold innovation and forge ahead, so that we can keep up with the pace of the development of public security and truly establish a " A public security police team with firm politics, excellent work style, impartial law enforcement and professional proficiency.
