This document is both a survey of inservice training practices for police officers in the State of Texas and a manual for use in the training and education of police officers. The survey indicates that continuous training for Texas peace officers is far from sufficient while the manual provides information on developing and improving inservice training programs. Specific chapters are: (1) Police Training in Texas, (2) Police Training and Education, (3) Planning Inservice Training, (4) Departmental Police Training, and (5) Conclusions and Recommendations. Supplemental data are appended. (JS)
