Abstract
The focus of the paper is on the role of critical thinking in assisting police officers to make the transition from a procedurally-based method of training to a higher education style of learning that emphasizes a self-directed, reflective form of professional practice. A specially-designed university course for the Singapore Police Force is used as a case study to highlight the journey from training to education.
