In January 2015, the Human Dynamics team delivered 3-week training of trainers for Civil Police, in partnership with the Center for International Legal Cooperation (CILC) and the Palestinian Civil Police (PCP). The training took place at PCP’s outstanding Jericho Training Facility, as part of the EU-financed HD-led project TA Programme for the Palestinian Civil Police (PCP) in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
18 graduating officers received their trainer’s certificates from the Director of the Jericho Training Facility, Lt. Col. Zahir and the CILC training consultants (Paul Brookes, former UK Police Superintendent, and Riad Mustafa, Palestinian Training Development expert).
The participants were provided with the Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes that they will need in order to deliver and facilitate interactive and participative trainings. The course was specifically tailored to enable a core group of the participants to replicate their experience and deliver subsequent trainings of trainers for their PCP colleagues (including the necessary manuals and training materials). The feedback from participants was very positive.
To ensure success of the interactive learning and to ensure that approach is adopted across the PCP, the expert team have provided materials and manuals for a ToT programme. To ensure that graduates maintain the high levels of skills, knowledge and confidence that they had at the conclusion of the classroom-based course, the project is providing follow up support for graduates, in the form of programme of observation, support, mentoring and coaching by their training experts as they begin the process of cascading the training to other police trainers.
