“Lots and lots of officers are compassionate.”
“But there’s also that other side: “Take the facts. Get the job done. Get in and out. Get to that next call.”
“Police need to shift away from “get to that next call” mentality. There is the humanity side officers need to focus on.”
(quotes courtesy Daniel Jones MSt. Retired Inspector, Edmonton Police Service & Chair of Justice, Norquest College)
Our officers need excellent interpersonal ability. They need advanced emotional intelligence learning & an understanding & appreciation for upholding a duty of care that values life & how de-escalation can help.
National Centre for Policing Excellence
C-CPR is embarking on a journey to achieve a centre of excellence. We envision the development of world class police curriculum along with national standards defining the knowledge our new officers require for 21st Century Policing.
We believe that citizens reflecting the diversity of Canada should have a part to play in the police recruit curriculum.
We invite police officers and citizens of our land to join 200 members from 10 provinces and 1 territory and our 1700+ followers on LinkedIn. Together we can uplift our officers with knew knowledge and enhance the trust of Canadians in their police.
“We are a profession but we need to move towards professionalism.” (M Federico Retired Deputy Chief of Police, Toronto & VP of C-CPR”
Mission
To achieve the creation of a National Centre of Policing Excellence with the support of community representatives, stakeholders, police practitioners, academics, and government officials. Working collaboratively, the Centre develops national standards for training and education of our police service members.
Notre mission est de créer un collège canadien qui favoriser le développement de la profession policière, avec l’appui et le support de représentants communautaires, de policiers, de chercheurs et de représentants gouvernementaux.
Vision
Our vision is to elevate Canadian Policing to “World Class” standards by advancing evidence-based training for both police recruits and officers, developing national standards for all entry-level police training and creating a national certification criterion for police officers.
Nous voulons proposer l’adoption de standards élevés pour la profession policière au Canada, appuyés par des programmes de formation initiale et récurrente qui seront développés sur la base de recherches empiriques, pour l’obtention d’une certification, tant pour les recrues que pour les cadres policiers.
