Abstract
Creating a learning environment for educating police officers to meet the requirements of a contemporary democratic policing profession offers potential for aligning the fundamental concepts of practice-based education (PBE) with police education and practice. This chapter presents a case study of a police education program which exemplifies the embodiment of such an alignment. The role of simulations as a conduit for supporting the delivery of a PBE program is discussed.
