The adoption of the on-the-job training, its methodology and its application will enable and give the new professionals the opportunity to acquire the experience and skills of their predecessors and subsequently be sure of the future of the security function and its leaders. As seasoned professionals in the field retire, it is training which minimizes the volume of loss reflected in the absence of any human databases imposed by administrative transitions, the orderly retirement or end of service which takes away much of the creative efficiencies in the security cadres.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

The researcher used the descriptive analytical methodology through the documentary method by gathering of data and information through different references and sources to establish the theoretical frame and to explore previous studies on the research subject. The researcher prepared a questionnaire to gather information on the research subject composed of 56 terms distributed on four main axes that cover the previous research queries. Because the descriptive analytical method has several alternative strategies, the researcher used the social survey strategy as the most suitable method for the research subject. The research population included all Riyadh city police officers composed of (181) officers at the time of the study out of which (145) officers responded.

MAIN RESULTS:

The study results revealed that the arithmetic mean of the clarity of the on-the-job training concept in Riyadh city police stations was 2.87 and that the clarity of the training concept is divided into three groups, to wit:

1. The highly evident concepts comprising four phrases.

2. The average evident concept comprising one phrase.

3. The low evident concepts comprising six phrases. It is worth mentioning that these six phrases comprise more than 50% of the phrases that form the on-the-job training, the thing which necessitates increasing the awareness of Riyadh City police officers to on-the-job training.

The study has also shown that the arithmetic means of the axes of the methods and manners of the on-the-job training currently adopted in Riyadh City police stations is moderate as the arithmetic mean amounted to 2.27, and that the methods and manners are divided into three groups:
