I didnt see Blame put anywhere Humm no advice how to fix it then @mtpockets59 ???
Germany also has a huge training program. I think it's like, what? 2-3 years?
Where in the US it's more like 3-6 months.
The turnover rate is likely much higher.
so pay better you need better smart officers. look too be a fed angent you need a bach degree
whitherws sorry
We consider college training, which I don't. And frankly, I am not sure one can be trained sufficiently to pull a dead child out of a trash can or refrigerator that was improperly secured.
name one police dept where that a requirment
Here in detroit you only had to be able to do 60 pushups in under 1 min and that would get you in but that was back in the day...
i went to school for CJ only few years but i know more then most officers do
Most of the training involved with policing is actually quite in-depth. In the US it likely could use some refreshers every few years, as I think police forget certain parts over time.
@osok Was just wondering if you asked me the question, I didn't want to answer if it was to someone else. I have a dual BA (History/Communications Theory).
nice
Kind of like how you have to get first aid credentials renewed every few years.
Sadly, I enjoy my minors more than my majors: Ethical Philosophy, Religion, and Political Science. LOL
look the system isnt work that well whats the harm in try n something diff
They necessarily, literally have to summarily suspend constitutional rights in order to do the job. That's been legislated. The problem is that that necessity is so important that it needs to be protected to a degree that almost guarantees abuse.
Depends on how you can change the system.
ok i get it
need to renew just to work on a car so yea i 100% agree @Maw
should be more
As it is, most officers don't get more than about 3 hours worth of policing in per day.
It's mostly paperwork, yes.
And it's soul-drainingly boring.
i heard that some department wont hire if the iq is to high
my ASE would expire every 4 yrs why doesn't a cop have something like that?
When I was an OTR truck driver, my knowledge of police work schedules and protocols was handy. I always knew when they would not be on the road because they were doing the 2 to 3 hours of shift paperwork to go home, or the hour of set up to leave the shop after they started their shift.
They have standards and certifications out the wazoo. Problem is you can't certify for behavior. Only demonstration of knowledge.
Pretty sure that they do judge you based on behaviour.
its a hard job and thank god they want to do it
They do give you practical realistic scenarios in which you have to make the right choice in order to be deemed fit to serve.
Apparently not to the degree they should. It's subjective.
That's a separate argument, but I agree.
It shouldn't be an easy answer.
And they should have to elaborate on their choice.
look the train corse is what 6 month to become officer
In a way that's acceptable.
standards and certifications for all the wrong stuff like how to do cpr and stuff yea i dont see how that could translate to being a better cop.
