Coaching Police Conflict Management

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Police Conflict Management, Volume II

Abstract

The conceptualization of coaching in police training as a complex and adaptive process replaces outdated notions of what police trainers do. The six dimensions of knowledge presented make it clear that professional coaching requires well-founded knowledge structures and virtuosity in dealing with them in general as well as in situational application. The Professional Coaching Model in Police Training clarifies the ideal image of the police trainer: a reflective practitioner who, based on interwoven knowledge structures, finds situational solutions to any problems concerning training practice and implements them virtuously.

Notes

  1. 1.

    We refer to police trainers as any professional that is responsible for learning settings within the systems of the police and that aim at developing the competence (or expertise) of police officers to engage in police–citizen interactions, including the management of conflict. We stick to the term “trainer” since it is a widely accepted term, even though we feel that coach would be a much better fit for these individuals.
