The Importance of Ongoing Education in Policing
Tom Nastel, a police chief, emphasizes the need for continuous education in policing. He believes that the nine months of academy training provides a solid foundation, but officers must continue to build upon that foundation throughout their careers. He encourages officers to adapt to new technologies and ideas, be open to learning, and always strive to improve their skills and knowledge.
