encouraged to participate actively and critically as much as possible to encourage
their evolution into informed, convinced, and competent proponents of the rule of law. In addition, this methodology helps achieve several learning objectives at the same time – participants build skills and attitudes toward the rule of law while also imparting information and knowledge.
A typical rule of law education course for an entry level patrol cadet might cover the following topics 1) the role of the police in a democracy 2) the rule of law and a culture of lawfulness (e.g. values, norms, customs, and laws 4) challenges to effective policing and threats to the rule of law and 5) promoting a culture of lawfulness in the community. The course is
designed to have a practical, concrete effect on cadets work when they become police. Cadets are expected to gain knowledge, learn skills, and understand the material to the point that it affects their attitudes toward their work. Instructors are prepared to utilize a variety of interactive and dynamic techniques in the classroom (e.g. ethical dilemmas or role playing) to assess cadets progress in these areas.
