This report contains a Pre-Evaluation Assessment of Queensland's Police Recruit Certificate Course.
The report was initiated by the Evaluation Steering Committee of the Police Education Advisory Council (PEAC), a council drawn from the Police Service, the Criminal Justice Commission, university educators, the Police Union, and the Police Academy.
PEAC plays an advisory role in the development of the Queensland Police Recruit Training Program, part of which was initially implemented in February 1991. The consultants were requested to prepare a preevaluation assessment, which is usually a precursor of a program evaluation. The Terms of Reference are contained in Appendix A. The aim of the pre-evaluation assessment is to draw up a detailed evaluation plan to ensure that the evaluation itself is effective, efficient, relevant, of high quality, and timely.
