Basic Course for Police Officers Job Task Analysis

The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services’ (DCJS or Division) Office of Public Safety (OPS) is seeking to establish an agreement with a single vendor to conduct a job task analysis (JTA) and subsequently identify content valid learning objectives which will inform Basic Course for Police Officers (BCPO) curriculum development for OPS staff.  Across the country, law enforcement training is governed by individual state entities which establishes training standards and guidelines. The Municipal Police Training Council (MPTC) – established in Executive Law §839 – is New York’s governing body for this purpose. Membership is comprised of law enforcement practitioners, academics in the field of criminal justice, victim advocates and community representatives. OPS serves as the staff arm to the MPTC.  The MPTC’s primary role is to establish minimum training standards for statutorily required training in New York State, one of which is the BCPO. All police officers hired by a county, city, town, village, or police district are statutorily required to successfully complete a BCPO course pursuant to General Municipal Law §209-q. Approximately 3,000 police recruits complete this program annually. Approximately 63,000 currently serving police officers are subject to this training requirement. As the staff arm to the MPTC, OPS reviews and evaluates MPTC training courses for necessary updates relevant to law enforcement policing in the 21st century. OPS staff has identified a need to conduct a comprehensive review of the course’s content to ensure police officers are receiving the training necessary to perform job-related tasks of an entry-level police officer.
