Dorset Police make maximum use of information technology
and as a result staff are trained to use appropriate software in
specific roles, i.e. spreadsheets, databases and presentations. In
addition, all probationary police officers and transferees are
trained in the use of all the police Force Wide systems and the
Windows NT4 operating system. There are dedicated IT Trainers and well-equipped
training rooms with networked computers and presentation tools such
as video projectors and screens at Bournemouth and Police
Headquarters.
