Assessment of Training Programmes in the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit of Ghana Police Service

ABSTRACT This study was conducted on the premise that despite the importance of staff training in the attainment of organizational goals, most organizations do not conduct staff training programmes very well. The objective of this study was to assess the training programme of the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU) of the Ghana Police Service in terms of expectation of the trainees before and after the training and its training activities. The survey research design was adopted for this study while the multi-stage sampling techniques were adopted to arrive at a sample size of one hundred and ten (110) respondents out of a sample frame of two hundred (200). The simple random sampling technique was used to select 74 trained and 36 untrained personnel while the purposive sampling technique was used to select six (6) trainers. Questionnaire was utilised to solicit the needed information. The study revealed that even though some forms of training activities are being carried out at the Police Training School, the MTTU programme is not comprehensive enough and lacks best practices while teaching and learning materials, course contents and teaching methods need a review. It was also discovered that training does not necessarily lead to improvement in job performance. It is therefore recommended that MTTU should review it current training programme and develop an elaborate and comprehensive training policy document which spells out details and regulations governing the training activities and also seek logistical support especially financial and expert support.
