E-learning has great potential to offer many advantages for law enforcement education and training, not only with savings of time and money, but also with staying up-to-date with current technology and with connecting colleagues across local and international borders . However, care must be taken with hardware and software choices as well as in preparing and supporting the users of the system. To make the most efficient and effective use of this smart educational technology, an intelligent process is suggested.
