REGIONAL POLICE TRAINING CENTRE

INITIAL TRAINING COURSE
BARBADOS COMMUNITY COLLEGE
AND
REGIONAL POLICE TRAINING CENTRE
POLICE RECRUIT TRAINING CERTIFICATION PROGRAMME
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
Rationale and Description of Programme
The Police Recruit Training Certification Programme has been jointly designed and
developed, and will be offered collaboratively, by the Barbados Community College (BCC)
and the Regional Police Training Centre (RPTC). This certification responds to the need to
have recognised and transferable certification for the police recruit training done by the
RPTC. The programme is informed by the understanding that training and education offered
must be so designed to be comparable to similar programmes in other jurisdictions, thereby
ensuring that certification awarded has legitimacy, currency and value for programme
graduates. Additionally, certification awarded should provide these graduates with a base for
their further educational and training development. The Police Recruit Training Certification
Programme is two-tiered: the first tier awards The Police Recruit Training Certificate on
successful completion of the 26 weeks of recruit training and positions graduates for
completion of the second tier, the Associate in Applied Science - Policing on meeting the
additional requirements specified by the two institutions.
The Certificate Programme provides the initial formal training required to equip entrants to
policing (those completely new to policing and those with only on-the-job training) in
Barbados and the region to function competently as police constables.
The programme content includes standard police training (crime prevention, investigating,
reporting and prosecuting incidence of criminal offence and road policing); officers’ safety
training; weapons training; mental and physical fitness training; drill, and community
policing. Also included in the programme are introductions to the history and mission of
policing, to the sociology of crime and to constitutional law, human rights and ethics. General
education content is also an important component of the programme.
In the second tier, the two institutions will provide additional courses to graduates of the
certificate programme to enable them to upgrade their certificate to an Associate Degree on
meeting the BCC requirements for this award. As presented herein, the Associate in Applied
Science – Policing requires the graduate to complete the Certificate Programme satisfying
specified criteria (See Admission Requirements below). The graduate then registers for the
Associate Degree and takes a further 15 credits.
5
Objectives of the Certification Programme
The Police Recruit Training Certification Programme is designed to:
1.
Equip entrants to policing with the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to function
competently as police constables in general Beat and Patrol duties
2.
Provide employability core skills
3.
Introduce the recruits to the history, mission and organisation of policing
4.
Inculcate habits of fitness and safety
5.
Develop recruits’ personal character and mental fitness
6.
Enhance the professionalisation of police training in keeping with global trends
Programme Profile
The Certificate Programme runs for 26 weeks and is delivered in two consecutive 13-week
terms. Recruits are in residence at the Regional Police Training Centre and are in training 7
days a week for the duration of the programme. This programme has a total of 1200
contact/class hours in 22 courses for 62 credits. Recruits successfully completing the
Certificate Programme will be awarded The Police Recruit Training Certificate issued jointly
by the RPTC and the BCC.
For the purposes of this training initiative, RPTC is a partner of the BCC and is subject to the
quality imperatives governing BCC’s academic procedures and regulations. The Police
Recruit Training Certificate is a BCC/RPTC certification and provides the policing
specialisation content of the Associate Degree in Applied Science – Policing.
The Associate Degree in Applied Science – Policing requires the recruit to complete the
Certificate Programme satisfying specified criteria (See Admission Requirements below),
register for the Associate Degree and take a further 15 credits. These comprise nine credits
from three BCC cores, namely English and Communication, Caribbean Politics and Society
and Practical Mathematics (Ethics and Citizenship is taken in the Certificate programme),
and six credits from a 6-month work-based practicum. The maximum period for the
completion of the Associate in Applied Science – Policing shall be in accordance with the
existing BCC regulations and subject to any special conditions agreed by the two partnering
institutions.
Teaching and Learning
The programme will employ a full range of teaching/learning approaches to respond to the
profile of the learners. The instructional methods used will include lecture/presentation,
discussion, demonstration, role-play and practical application exercises. Learning/training
areas include the classroom, the parade square, the shooting range, the RPTC facility as a
practice community, police stations and other authentic locations for the practice of policing.
Recruit Profile
This programme seeks to attract persons with an interest in building a career in law
enforcement who have the personal, physical, mental and ethical qualities that can be
developed for success in this career. Graduates of the programme will demonstrate personal
development as measured by self-management and management of the range of
professional/policing situations. Professional competence will be demonstrated in graduates’
6
performance of police duties. Suitability of applicants for the programme will be determined
by an interview, scores on selection instruments used by the Human Resource Department of
contracting police forces and by performance in a pre-recruitment induction course.
Admission Requirements
In order to enter the Police Recruit Training Certification programme, applicants must first be
accepted for training as police officers by the Regional Police Training Centre. Applicants to
the certificate programme must have a minimum of three (3) passes at Grades 1, 2 or 3
(Grade 3 after 1998) in the CXC Secondary General Proficiency Examinations or the
equivalent. Preference will be given to applicants with better qualifications who also meet
other admission requirements. Character references, acceptable scores on tests to determine
suitability for employment as law enforcement/security personnel and satisfactory
performance in the pre-recruitment induction course are also part of the admission
requirements.
To qualify to register for the associate degree and take the additional courses leading to the
Associate Degree in Applied Science – Policing, certificate programme graduates must have
CSEC English A at Grades 1, 2 or 3 (Grade 3 after 1998) or the equivalent.
Career Prospects
Graduates of the Police Recruit Training Certificate Programme are automatically employed
in the Police Force of their sponsoring governments. As happens with other Associate Degree
programmes, graduates of the Associate Degree in Applied Science – Policing will be able to
access further tertiary studies as a means of advancing their chosen careers.
Graduation Requirements
Completion of all programme requirements (for certificate and associate degree) with a
minimum Grade Point Average of 2.00 is required to qualify for the award of the programme
certification.
