development and its repercussions on the
nature of social and economic relations
and structures and the accompanying
phenomena such as globalization,
terrorism, extremism, the digital economy,
organized and emerging crimes, and the
development of means of communication
and communication..
These changes have led to vital
transformations in various fields, including
police work in terms of the nature of police
institutions and the role they play. The

and law enforcement, but community
service has become at the forefront of
the priorities of police work. In addition,
police organizations strive to improve
performance of its employees and their
professionalism.

transformations, the police forces had
to review the methods, curricula and
philosophy of training, rehabilitation and
education that policemen receive, in order
to provide them with acquiring knowledge
and skills that would enable them to adapt
to the changes that occurred in society
and respond to its needs.
Many countries have revised their police
education curricula, and established
universities specializedinpolicework, and
began cooperating with other institutions
of higher education. The higher education
for policemen has become a tangible
reality and an accelerating trend.

of police education as a discourse and
a goal took an escalating path in terms
of interest, research and discussion,
