Policing Competency Framework


ENDORSED

The Policing CBM Materials have been endorsed by key policing stakeholders:

"CACP Board of Directors accepts the CACP HR Committee's recommendation that the PSC's developed Competency Based Framework be a reference guide for the Canadian Police Community."

 

"The CAPB has reviewed the Competency-based Framework documentation - toolkits, guides & other supporting materials – and recommends it as mandatory reading for HR professionals and managers in policing sector wide."

The Police Sector Council recently collaborated with policing executives from across Canada to develop a competency framework and tools to support all aspects of strategic human resource management for the policing industry as a whole. This work involved leveraging existing best practices and knowlege within the policing sector to develop a nationally relevant system.

This three year effort has resulted in the development of competency based management (CBM) HR infrastructure, information and tools to support police services in Canada.

Policing now has rigorously developed and nationally validated materials
available for FREE
to Chiefs, HR managers, Academy Directors,
Training professionals, and government officials
to support local operations.

The following are available:

  • Policing Competency Framework - full documentation on general duty roles
  • Guides - Seven instructive Guides for policing executives
  • Toolkit - Over 40 Tools and Templates to support HR


The Policing Competency Framework provides the policing industry with a common language and understanding of the work and underlying competency requirements associated with general policing duties for all ranks: Constable, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Inspector, Superintendent, Chief Superintendent, Deputy Chief, and Chief. This framework was developed by leveraging the best practices from police services across Canada and working with the policing community to fully analyze and document the job responsibilities of each rank. The resulting Framework includes Job Descriptions, Task Lists, Competency Profiles and a Policing Competency Dictionary.

Instructive Guides have been developed to support police services in implementing a competency approach to HR management. There are now seven Guides that provide information, theory, practical tips, and reference the tools and templates designed to supplement those HR systems currently in use in police organizations. A selected bibliography of books and articles relevant to competency-based management, human resources and project management are also included in the guides.

The Toolkit includes over 40 tools and templates that police services can use and customize according to their needs. Among the many tools in the Toolkit are interview and reference check guides, and templates to support learning plans, performance management and succession management.

These Policing competency materials have been developed to support a first-time implementation of a competency approach to HR management and also to support police services wishing to review and/or expand an existing competency program.

 

These materials are available to police services and organizations supporting them.
