The paper emphasizes the increasingly important role of human resources within policing organizations. Changes to the environment in which police operates will likely impact the type of services, the mode of delivery and human resources required in the Policing Sector. New policing skills are required to respond to the changing environment and the increased competition for some specialist skills will require police services to rethink and adapt their recruitment activities.
