This study tests the impact of training on police performance, using a new measurement methodology. The results show a real measure of the fundamentals of police action operationalized in routine activities. The data were collected in a controlled experiment, which selected 24 military police officers from the city of São Paulo. The policemen were observed carrying out approaches, by means of systematic social observation, a non-participant direct observation technique. The sample gathered 199 police approaches, collected in two stages: July and August 2006 and February and March 2007. Before the second stage, 50% of the officers received 60 hours of training.
