A comparison of grade equivalent reading rates of candidates presented for training in areas of primary certification to the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy to success/failure rates and an overview of the grade equivalent primary certification training materials

摘要

The findings and content of this report concern the areas of primary certification trainingdefined as entry-level law enforcement/criminal justice (e.g., non-supervisory uniformed patrol, non-supervisory uniformed correctional, non-supervisory telecommunications officer/operator duties). The three (3) areas of training pertinent to this study were as follows: 1) Basic Law Enforcement Certification Training ; 2) Basic Jail Certification Training (local detention as opposed to state level corrections) and; 3) Basic Telecommunications Officer Training. This project focused on a singular aspect of adult education, reading grade equivalency rates.
