Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der integrierten Fortbildung der Polizei des Landes Brandenburg bei der Umsetzung der Ziele der Polizeistrukturreform

Abstract

Using the example of the integrated further education of the police of the land Brandenburg this paper examines how a profound measure of reorganisation can be supported by a behaviour oriented further education. Possibilities are being shown of how to achieve the necessary behavioural changes within the larger frame of a reform process with the help of a framework of further education within the organization itself. Changing established patterns of behaviour of adults has proved to be very difficult in practice. Therefore this paper first of all settles the question which impulses a further development of behaviour oriented further education of adults could receive from research results of neurophysiology and educational science. Further it is being investigated which specific methods can be employed to achieve a long-term change in the patterns of behaviour of adults which are effective in practice and how they can be evaluated. This study introduces a concept for a behaviour oriented further education of adults which does justice to the demands of the organization‘s development as well as of the daily duties. The results of the study are not only valid for the further education measures within the police but they can also be transferred to other areas in which adults are to be made to change established patterns of behaviour within a hierarchically organized structure. The study provides important impulses to the further education of adults who are to remain capable of acting within in the frame of their work even under extreme pressure. This concept therefore could also be applied to further education of firemen, military personnel, teachers, educators, and the personnel of hospitals.
