Police College rolled out an e-learning package titled "Giving Evidence in Court" on January 17 to make officers more knowledgeable about the Court and more confident in giving evidence in Court. Police officers testifying as witnesses play an essential part in the judicial proceedings. The package, therefore, will provide them with a better understanding of pre-court preparation. Senior Inspectors (Mock Court Training) Yu Chiu-suen and Wong Chun-leung have designed the package with a production company, actively involving in every aspect of the project, including content, layout, animation, simulated cases as well as interviews of two Senior Court Prosecutors and two Clinical Psychologists. By garnering a wide range of views and making multiple revisions, they have made the package more interactive and user-friendly. This electronic programme contains in-depth material that is easy to understand and learn. It consists of seven sections, comprising not just basic knowledge related to the Court and pre-court preparation, but also interesting case studies. Another feature of the e-learning package is that the user is not required to go through the entire programme at one time. Officers may split up the 90-minute learning process into several parts, according to their work schedules and learning progress, and access it via POINT at the workplace or from home. Users can save their progress simply by following the instructions, and then continue with the rest of the programme later. This data saving function, being temporary in nature, will be replaced by a faster and more convenient means upon the launch of the Learning Management System. The English version of the e-learning package will also be rolled out in due course. As Police College Director Kevin Woods has pointed out in the Preface of "Giving Evidence in Court", the package is a helpful tool for acquiring the skills required for giving evidence in Court. It also gives officers better understanding of the Court, thereby enabling them to give evidence in Court with more confidence. Mr Woods believes that officers, having acquired adequate training and professional skills, will definitely be able to render quality services to the community and tackle further challenges in the years to come. |
