Police professional training, Reconciliation with the population and the success of the community policing concept: What contribution

Abstract

With a view to meeting the guidelines of the National Security Directorate to establish general order and combat crime, the police institution in Morocco is constantly introducing a set of strategies aimed at improving the police-citizen relationship with the ultimate aim of restoring trust between these two players. This article presents an attempt to assess the impact of continuing professional police training on the success of the community-policing concept.

In an attempt to evaluate the impact of these determinants of continuing professional police training on the success of the concept of community policing, this research article used generalized linear models (GLMs), specifically binary logistic regression. However, the prediction of the success of this concept was supported in this paper by a police training module such as getting closer to the public. This survey finally demonstrated a highly significant positive correlation between the antecedents of this police training module mentioned above and the success of the community policing concept.

The study was conducted in two successive phases. The first was a qualitative phase devoted to the selection of the determinants of continuing police training, specifically the antecedents of training for 'closeness to the public from a broad literature review, which had a significant impact on the success of the community policing concept. The second phase is quantitative, explaining the prediction of the success of this concept using the Logit model.

Keywords: words: police professional training, police continuing education, community policing, generalized linear models, binary logistic regression.
