Training Analysis and Monitoring in Italian State Police Schools

The Italian Ministry of the Interior has carried out, in collaboration with the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan, a survey on the quality of the training provided in the Italian State Police schools.The topic of the survey was not only the quality of training, but also and above all an analysis of the final product of training itself: a person with a solid professional and personal identity able to face different and changing situations, firmly anchored to personal, social and institutional values, with a strong sense of responsibility towards the country and civil society. The survey had two main aims: to analyse the level of training achieved by the agents and deputy inspector students in different moments of the training courses and to analyse the training courses in their complexity, in order to identify conclusive factors and those needing improvement, or even to consider adapting the current models.
