“…Thus, teachers at police training and further education institutions (taking into account corresponding findings from the projects “Civic Education and Police”) also emphasize the added value of an active learning format to realize a holistically designed civic education, and with which attention can be paid to the development of procedural and affective competencies in addition to the transfer of knowledge (Kuschewski, 2022, pp. 384–403).…”

“…With regard to the implementation of problem-oriented educational work, the following picture emerged within the project “Civic Education and Police”: Among the target groups of police education, trainees and students show a greater interest in self-organized, participative, action-, behavior- and experience-oriented teaching and learning settings compared to advanced learners. The realization of the necessity of a paradigm shift from “teaching” to “learning” thus arises especially in view of the presence or arrival of younger generations (commonly referred to as “Gen Y” or “Z”) in the police (Kuschewski, 2022, pp. 375–381).…”

“…The results of the above-mentioned “Civic Education and Police” project show the following here: For police civic education, the premise of orienting everyday life can be used to address the need of trainees, students, and advanced learners for an orientation of civic education to the requirements of (everyday) police practice (Kuschewski, 2022, pp. 332–336).…”

“…Thus, courses that address (social) scientific content against the backdrop of police challenges in a divided society (e.g. crime, protest) tend to be more appealing to trainees and students than events that are purely inspired by or conceived of in terms of scientific theory (Kuschewski, 2022, pp. 231–233).…”

“…Within the project “Civic Education and Police,” it became apparent that the format of personal encounters that enable learners to engage in job-related (self-)reflection through contact with persons outside the police or with “affected persons” (e.g. witnesses of contemporary history, refugees, prisoners) also have a potentially positive effect on the learning motivation of police education target groups (Kuschewski, 2022, pp. 375–381): Another didactic variant is that of problem orientation.…”

Purpose The demands on the police to ensure security and order have increased in times of growing right-wing extremism, corona protests and widespread criticism of and dissatisfaction with democratic structures and processes. Protection, escort or even confrontation in the course of public demonstrations and protests as well as the protection, e.g. of politicians, synagogues or mosques requires additional deployment of the police and poses extended challenges. However, the police force itself also faces various problems with antidemocratic, violent or extremist police officers. The purpose of this paper is to elaborate why and how civic education of police officers can be a cornerstone to respond to the described challenges and improve democratic policing. Design/methodology/approach This paper describes how civic education can be organized in police training and further education and how it can be designed in cooperation with civil society actors. It is based on a research and development project conducted between 2016 and 2021 under the title “Civic Education and Police.” Findings Civic education can or could be an approach in sensitizing police officers to social conflicts and in better understanding the background and reasons for their deployment. Moreover, civic education can be helpful in preventing abuse of power and police violence, reducing negative aspects of esprit de corps and strengthening police legitimacy. Practical implications Civic education of police officers can help to understand conflicts and social tensions, strengthen the understanding of the society, improve police investigation, reduce misbehavior and support legitimacy in the democratic state. Originality/value The article uses findings from the project Civic Education and Police, which was funded by the Federal Agency for Civic Education between 2016 and 2021. Project partners were the German Police University and the University of Applied Sciences for Police and Public Administration in North Rhine-Westphalia. The project conducted empirical studies on the supply and demand structure of civic education for and in the police. In addition, a database of educational concepts, a series of conferences and a new journal for conference documentation, research and special issues were launched.
