There are different practices in police training in different parts of the world in terms of their content and length. Police training in the United Kingdom and the United States are relatively short and practice-oriented compared to the long and theory-oriented training tradition in Turkey. Therefore, policing philosophy and police practices in these countries differ from one another. This study will examine police training systems in the United Kingdom, the United States, and in Turkey by comparing their strengths and weaknesses and showing their similarities and differences. In conclusion, this study will make recommendations for a better police training system benefiting from the best practices in these countries.
