Jhe training of professionals whoI will make up the Catalan model

police force is one of the basic re-sponsibilities acquired with the trans-ference of power in security mattersto the Generalitat (autonomous 8or'-ernment) under the Statute of Au-tonomy in 1979.

At the t ime. the central act ivi t l 'o f the Department of In ter ior inCatalonia. in regard to safety' and se-curity, became the creation of an au-tonomous pol ice force and coordi-nation with local pol ice. In the e\/ent.i t became necessary to establ ish aninst i tu t ion which would be capablenot onl,v of training professionals forthese forces but a lso to communi-cate to them the expectat ions andvalues of the society in which theywould be work ing.

When the Parliament of Cataloniaenacted Law 2711985 for the Escolade Policia de Catalunya. i t gave thisinstitution the job of training the mem-bers of the security forces that an-swer to the Generalitat. as well as lo-cal police forces in Catalonia. Thisgave a determined direct ion to thetraining and police model.

The Escola de Policia de Catalunyahas based its learning process on acombination of three elements: knowl-edge. procedures. and attitudes.

To begin with, the students musthave access to the knowledge relatedto their profession (its defining ele-

prehensive police force and its func-t ional coordination with local pol iceis in ful l development and has be-come a real i ty.

This new characterization inf lu-enced the activi t ies of the School bymaintaining a tendency to increasethe number courses offered. whileit consol idates and expands i ts train-ing program.

Training ModelA pol ice training center is respon-

sible for teaching its students to bepolice officers without lettin-e them for-get that they, are. basically. citizens.Both of these identities must find theirplace in the inst i tut ion's training of-ficers model and. in general. in thecultural model developed by the po-l ice profession.

ments, functioning mechanisms, etc.)and to the surroundings in which theywill carry out their work. Only withthis double capacity forperception willit be possible to build a professionalculture open to the community.

Secondly, they must be proficientin the abilities required by police work.These abilities are, in essence. the pro-cedures needed to find the correctresponse in situations that the policedeal with on a daily basis.

But the existence of proceduresto deal with the complexity of societydoes not imply a mechanical responsewhen faced with a conflict. A policeofficer works within a dynamic socialcontext marked by change and a mul-tiplicity of outlooks and perceptions.
