New Managerialism and Canadian Police Training Reform

Willem De Lint

University of Windsor, Canada

This paper offers a preliminary exploration of a renewed managerialism (or new man agerialism) in police discourse and police training in Canada. It reviews changes to the conception of discipline in the supervision of the front-line police officer, and explores how a discourse of bureaucratic organization has been replaced by a 'responsibiliza tion' agenda. It follows this movement in the residential training academy, examining how new training or police learning reforms attempt to reconceive the neophyte officer along new managerialist contours. While this reform can be advanced with the goal of supplanting the traditional military ethos of the police culture, it is argued that the reform may not fulfil this promise and could even leave a notoriously intransigent culture in a condition of renewed empowerment.
