Bulgarian Policemen to Learn Social Communication

Employees of the Bulgarian Interior Ministry will undergo trainings for better social communication, the Bulgarian National Radio has announced.

About 2,000 police officers from across the country are expected to participate in the project “Socially competent police employees close to the society” and 800 of them will undergo a 3-day training.

The international project costs EUR 217,500 and is financed by the EU Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP).

Seven centers are envisioned to be created. They will host policemen and employees of private security companies, who will develop their social communication skills.

The program also envisions the creation of an Internet platform, which would enable the employees of the Interior Ministry to test their skills for communicating with different groups of the population.

This is a step in the right direction lets see if it works? and I wonder how they are going to learn various languages in such a short period

Fantastic news! We can only wish them the best of luck and :Good luck:wait and see how it all turns out. Once they have trained the police force they can start on the stores.

It is a step in the right direction, but I wonder who is going to train the people who are going to train the 2000 policemen/women

This would be my ideal job - The EU Lifelong Learning Programme will send in their own consultants and just look at the cost The international project costs EUR 217,500 All this to teach them politeness and manners - Wouldn't I just love to start up a centre myself It's just shame I don't know how to go about it, plus the language barrier. Still we can't do everything we want in life eh!!

Looks like a good idea, there are plenty of other countries that could do with some ideas how to treat clients and the public at large in a polite manner.
