Contemporary police organizations benefit from technological advances not only for preventing and fighting crime and criminals but also for training their officers for better service. Likewise, the Turkish police organization has established an e-learning portal to enable managers to attain required managerial competencies and to learn modern policing concepts in a cost-effective training environment. This research examines the perceptions of participants who attend management-training courses conducted via e-learning. Five factors of trainees’ e-learning perceptions are examined through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, consisting of a questionnaire, one-to-one and focus group interviews, and observation. SPSS program and quantitative methods are used to analyze and interpret the findings. Research has indicated some positive perceptions, such as place and time flexibility, enjoyment of learning, becoming acquainted with modern learning methods and technologies, being able to participate in training without leaving work and personal life. Conducting a management-training course via e-learning is positively perceived by the majority of course participants, and they recommend e-learning for upcoming management training courses, specialized training, and professional development courses. However, research has also revealed that some technical and administrative problems affect negatively the trainees’ perceptions of e-learning. Based on the findings in this chapter, recommendations are offered for similar projects

As well as students, teachers utilize technology in every step of their courses beginning from the preparation for the course, lecturing, and evaluation of the students. Students also take the advantage of using computers and the Internet such as searching the Internet for thei...
A Numerical Investigation of High Speed Projectile Impact on Ceramic Plates Ahmed, Haseeb; Uddin, Emad; Mubashar, Aamir; Ul Haq, S. Waheed (2018-01-13) With the advancements in the warfare technology, there is a need to have an equal armour protection to help the law enforcement agencies. Since the experimentation is expensive and time consuming and involves various constraints, the finite element codes are an alternative that can predict the projectile impact phenomena. Silicon Carbide is a ceramic known to perform well against projectile penetration. This study is based on investigation of the behaviour of Silicon Carbide of varied thicknesses against a ...
The Changing relationship between urban planning and revenue generation in local government banking: the case of İlbank in post 2011 era Balambar, Şelale; Balaban, Osman; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2019) As main providers of local services, local governments play crucial roles in development of cities. However, in many countries, local governments are in need of technical and financial support to sustain their activities. To this aim, local government banking system models were established in various parts of the world. These banking systems can take different forms and show variety according to the social, economic and political structure of the countries. Despite all the differences, the main aim of the e...
A Study on sparse array configurations for ultra-wideband imaging applications Çetin, Beyzat Talat; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) The increased number of terror attacks and crimes have grown a demand for enhancing public security systems. In this sense reliable, cost eﬀective, fast and physically non-hazardous imaging systems should be designed.
