Résumé
The Attorney General is responsible for ensuring that adequate and effective policing services are maintained throughout British Columbia. This responsibility includes the training of police boards. Although the boards have received training in the past, they have expressed a need for more. The purpose of this project was to respond to this need, focusing on the two most recently established boards--Tsewultun and Ditidaht First Nations police boards. The goal of the project was to develop a more effective way to deliver police board training. The objectives of the project were to: (1) identify the tasks, skills and knowledge of board members, as required under the Police Act and the attendant regulations; (2) determine whether there are cultural considerations that need to be addressed in developing instructional design and technology; and (3) develop recommendations for the design and delivery of the training program. A constructivist framework provided the context and philosophy for the project. Participatory action research was the applied qualitative research method; a modified Developing a Curriculum Model (DACUM) was used for identifying and analyzing tasks, skills and knowledge for training; and, appreciative inquiry served as the research technique for follow up group interviews with the participants.
