Details

The Coalition for Canadian Police Reform requires indexed accessibility of reports, studies, news items and research papers that are relevant to police education in Canada and around the world.

To further our educational outreach across Canada we need to gather these materials or the links to these materials and place them within a searchable database. Phase 1 developed a search methodology and result retrieval via Google Scholar.

  1. Review work completed in Phase 1 and plan completion. (See video links below.)
  2. Work to be concluded:
  • Review effectiveness of Phase One code and functionality.
  • Plan steps towards a completed API which should include an administrative dashboard and an access portal for members.
  • Determine which steps are doable in the available time of 80 hrs x no. of students.
  • Develop the software solutions or code modification.
  • Implement and test the product, debug.
  • Teach us old guys how to use it effectively using a You Tube video or videos uploaded after a final live presentation.
Deliverables

Review coding completed in Phase One.

Become knowledgeable with the Zotero database system for collecting academic papers.

Plan necessary development to achieve a fully functional system to define the key words for a scheduled daily or weekly search that is accessible to members of C-CPR behind a log-in. If development will take longer than available time then choose a completion point for Phase 2.

Develop the html coding for a functional and intuitive interface for members and for the administration of the searches.

Put it all together, debug and then train C-CPR volunteers.

Upload training videos after a live presentation to the volunteers. If more work is required in a Phase 3 then document your recommendations on paper.

Mentorship

We are not experts in IT. But we are motivated volunteers out to achieve a transformational change in how police officers are educated.

We are retired and always available to answer questions unless in other meetings of C-CPR.

We can connect you with academics who are part of our organization: professors of education, policing, psychology.
