Police Education in security educational institutions does not only highlight the differences
between Arab police intellect and west police intellect, but it also discusses the differences
which may be reflected from these institutions in the Arab world.
Generally, we noticed that police education in the modern Arab world has taken a quantum
leap forward. As it changed from learning in schools specialized in qualifying policemen
by providing physical preparation beside courses of security, police, and legal culture to the
establishment of police academies and institutes where the study period lasts for two years.
The student thereafter graduates with a diploma in police science as well as being culturally,
security, and physically qualified to work as a police officer. Then the academic years changed
from 2 years to 3 or 4 years, whereas the student studies legal and police curriculum and other
auxiliary sciences. The graduate granted a licentiate of law and police. Finally, some Arab
Countries have established police academies that allow for the graduates to continue their
higher education for obtaining Master’s and a Ph.D. degree in police science.
