Default Re: LEO training & qualification

Quote:
In any case, I wasn't trying to make anyone out to be uneducated or untrained. That's mainly because I would never be so presumptuous as to tell someone in another field what their qualifications should be or how to do their job. I simply wanted to show that qualifying for a police position, then surviving the hiring process and successfully completing the academy is not "too easy" as you put it.
The "too easy", comes from personal observation & expierence. I'm sorry in advance if this view pisses anyone off. Keep in mind,I'm not saying "all". I'm also not saying applicants are not checked out. I am saying that some parts of the crimes code needs to be taught in more detail as do guidelines governing stops & searches.

Another thing that needs to be taught is that the PSP database is not complete & it's not a crime to have a gun that's not included in it. This seems to be a recurring problem. You don't know how many cops have told me that all handguns must be registered. This is basic stuff.
