The requirements for training
are “client driven”, which means IPCC will respond to
requests from foreign police and security officials. An
example of these requests may be as follows:
- Highly specialized
investigative or forensic subjects
- Basic “grass roots” police
training
- Police supervision and
management training
- Border security
- Public and private security
training
- Private investigation
specialties
- Terrorism …prevention and
countermeasures
- Security and loss
prevention
- English language
training
ENGLISH LANGUAGE
TRAINING
Although English language
training was not originally in the IPCC plan, it became
apparent that foreign law enforcement agencies preferred that
English be taught by former law enforcement officers. The
reason for this is that there are many law enforcement and judicial
terms required that would be unfamiliar to the ordinary English
teacher.
If you are a current or former
law enforcement officer who is interested in teaching English, it is
suggested that you take an accredited course in ESL or TESOL in
order to give yourself the necessary qualifications.
DISTANCE
EDUCATION
Besides conducting workshops,
seminars and classroom instruction, IPCC envisions that it
will be providing some aspects of training via Distance Learning
(aka Distance Education). This could involve lessons via the
internet, videotapes, DVD’s or even more likely, traditional
correspondence courses.
In view of the foregoing,
Instructors capable of creating and writing distance education
courses are welcome to apply.
CONSULTANT
SERVICES
Although the main focus of
IPCC is training, foreign governments and police agencies
often seek the services of consultants to assist them in the
investigation of past or current criminal activity. Persons
with specialized areas of expertise are encouraged to register with
IPCC in the event that IPCC receives requests for
their services.
APPLYING TO REPRESENT
IPCC
Although IPCC is a
Canadian educational agency, instructors from outside Canada are
welcome to apply providing they are native English speakers and
possess the level of expertise required. Besides Canadian
experts, IPCC has accepted instructors from the USA and Great
Britain.
Instructors should have a solid
background in law enforcement with expertise in the particular
subject they will be teaching. Furthermore, they should have
had instructional experience in some recognized training institution
or area of law enforcement education. Instructors are
classified as “contractors”, not employees, and therefore must
prepare and instruct their own course in its entirety.
Persons wishing to be considered
for a contract instructor project with IPCC should
submit:
a) A resume of their background in law enforcement
and experience as an instructor, and
b) Copies of any relative certificates or diplomas,
and
c) Names, titles and contact information of three
references, and
d) Details of the course(s) they are able to teach,
including their expertise relating to these particular
subjects.
Submit the above information and documentation
