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 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, 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.It involved three years of national and international research, the input of over 70 police servcies, and the involvement of over 700 subject matter experts. The resulting Policing Competency Framework includes:

  • Job Descriptions by rank
  • Task Lists by rank
  • Competency Profiles by rank
  • Policing Competency Dictionary

 


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.
