Trainer Vs. Subject Matter Expert #65 (2 of 2)

Host Alpha Mike talks about two types of law enforcement training instructors. Trainer Vs. the Subject Matter Expert (SME), how agency use them.

Trainer, a person who trains people (coach, instructor, teacher, tutor)

Subject Matter Expert, also referred to as SME, is a person who has special skills or knowledge on a particular job or topic. SMEs are highly accessed by instructional designers to extract intelligence when developing courseware and learning programs. SMEs are frequently called upon to serve as guest lecturers or instructors for training.

Three evaluations of Law Enforcement  (LE) training. 1. Adminstrative areas of instruction declared by the agency for the ranks. 2. State Objectives, area to be covered as mandated by State rules for LE officers. 3. Federal, areas of training with any condition indicated by the U.S. Department of Justice.  Examples (Oversight, Court Order, or Condition on funding)

1. Trainer: Studies Mistakes 


2. SME Studies the excellence of the evelution

SME: Create an application method and study the results of the application.  SME, conduct empirical studies of training methods both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Hypotheses tested in an analytical study. 

To become a SME one must have, experience, knowledge, lived experience, excellence in record, and educations. As Alpha says, "ring time".
