Can We Improve Police Training by Modeling the Marines

Policing In America ·

2022/08/31

Policing across the US seems to embrace a "para-military" framework. However, policing seems to simply assume the hierarchy and rank structures but appears to be failing in the training and education of their officers. Dr Frank Tortorello suggests that training is being "over-neurologized". Could Dr. Tortorello be on the verge of initiating a quantum leap in police training and education? Give a listen and tell me what you think. I for one am convinced he is on to something big.

Professor Barry Latzer has spent decades studying and researching crime in the United States.
