Abstract
In 2020, as the world focused efforts to address the humanitarian challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, the global education community was similarly challenged to demonstrate resilience and innovation to support a level of 'normality' for students at all levels and professions. The research presented in this article offers insight into the preparation and deployment of transitioning education of police students from face-to-face delivery to online delivery in an environment historically unfamiliar with online learning delivery. The results indicate the critical attention placed on the preparation for transition beyond only subject matter delivery, for both students and faculty was pivotal in the resultant positive student learning outcomes. The approach to transitioning to the online learning delivery environment, the early trending data for which indicate minimal impact on achievement of learning for students, contributes to the decision making for education institutions centred on developing resilience professionals such as police officers.
