Identifier	Thesis 2088
Author	Gardner, Steven Michael, 1984-
Title	A quantitative analysis of law enforcement training and assault outcomes in U.S. cities
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2010
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	To date, there has been little research on the efficacy of police academy training on officer performance. Specifically, there is no research available on the efficacy of training that deals with officer self-defense. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between officer training, officer characteristics, equipment, and the likelihood of officer injury in an assault. This study will examine what types of training, and how much of this training is provided by police departments, as well as departmental variables, and any relationships with the likelihood of officer injury. The data pertaining to police academy training is taken from the 2002 Census of Law Enforcement Academies (CLEA). The likelihood of injury or death from assaults within police departments will be taken from the Law Enforcement Officers Killed or Assaulted (LEOKA) data. Due to the bridging of the two surveys, this study focuses only on larger metropolitan police departments. Data is used from the 2003 Law Enforcement Management Survey (LEMAS) in order to control for the influence of lateral transfers from other departments as well as the effect of in-service training. The results of this study show that officer’s training as well as departmental characteristics do not have a statistically significant effect on officers’ ability to defend themselves. However, it was found that the frequency of assaults experienced within a department has an effect on the likelihood of officers receiving injuries during assaults. Additionally, a department’s body armor requirements were discovered to have an effect on the likelihood of injuries as well as the frequency of use of force complaints against officers.
