surveying an entire profession

A needs study of Romania's local police for a national training redesign, under SIPOCA 722. They serve 19 million citizens: 12,635 posts, 9,713 occupied. What did they need to learn, how did they want to grow, what blocked them? Unknown. The need had never been studied.

the problem

the users were counted. nobody had asked them anything.

Romania's local police were a known headcount and an unknown workforce. Their training was thin, motivation low, the workforce ageing, and the need had never been studied.

12,635 posts, 9,713 occupied, and not one had been asked.

the funnel

from a silent workforce to a measured baseline

A pipeline built from zero, at the scale of a country. Tap a stage.

A profession serving 19 million citizens, with no record of what it needed to learn or what held it back.

reflection

what I took from it

depth where silence was

The survey mapped the breadth. I would add field depth in the counties that answered least.
