It i s a l s 0 an attempt at e v a l u a t i ng t h e e d u c a t i o n a l and t r a i n i n g programmers of the N i g e r i a P o l i c e Force (NPF). The Kaduna P o l i c e Command and the Kaduna P o l i ce C o l l e g e was used as the sample. A t o t a l of 300 P o l i c e men were i n t e r v i e w e d and v a r i a b l e s such as s o c i o - e c o n o m i c / e d u c a t i o n a l v a r i a b l e s , t r a i n i n g , work s c h e d u l e and Work p a t t e r n s were g a t h e r e d and c o r r e l a t ed t o t e s t the h y p o t h e s e s. Also p o l i c e i n s t r u c t o r s at the P o l i c e College were q u e s t i o n e d to f i n d out the q u a l i t y of the p o l i ce i n s t r u c t o r . Is the average p o l i c e i n s t r u c t o r of a h i g h e r S o c i o - e c o n o m i c / e d u c a t i o n a l l e v e l than the average p o l i c e rank and f i l e ? The course c o n t e n t s were examined to f i n d out the d e f e c t s in p o l i c e t r a i n i n g. The f i n d i n g s show t h a t a l t h o u g h t r a i n i n g and e d u c a t i o n a r e i m p o r t a n t to the f u n c t i o n s of the p o l i ce f o r c e , t h e s e a r e a s are h i g h l y n e g l e c t e d by the p o l i ce d e p a r t m e n t . Adequate funds are not a v a i l a b l e for Police training so that only a negligible number of policemen are sent for further training and education. The findings also show that the average Police instructor is of 'the same Socio-economic/ educational level as the average policeman. It was further discovered that the course content of police basic, refresher, developmental and promotional training does not include subjects in the humanities such as sociology, psychology, history geography e t c . to broaden the minds of the police t r a i n e e . These subjects are very important in view of the fact that the police man would understand the Society b e t t e r . This would f o r s t e r a b e t t er Police - public relationship which is needed for improved police performance.
