Abstract
Evaluating the effectiveness of police training is essential in ensuring that officers are adequately prepared to meet the demands of modern law enforcement. This study quantitatively examines the effectiveness of police training programs by assessing officers’ preparedness and the practical application of acquired skills in real-life situations. The study focuses on scenario-based training, ethical decision-making, and physical readiness. A cross-sectional survey research design was employed using a structured questionnaire. The respondents consisted of 272 active police personnel from Angeles City, Pampanga, selected through a convenience sampling method due to limited access to a complete list of officers. The sample size was determined using a population formula with a 95% confidence level and a 5% margin of error. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the training programs. Ethical research protocols were strictly followed to ensure the protection, confidentiality, and voluntary participation of all respondents.
