[@Stargazer69]

Training is different than educating. Generally, training means teaching police officers to react to a given situation in the field. Education involves developing the mental and moral tools police officers should possess to build strong relationships with the community. It will teach police officers to think about their response to various problems based on vast amounts of knowledge and then take thoughtful action to resolve a problem. What they need is educating them on our Constitutional rights. Police officers enter their profession by taking an oath to the U.S. Constitution. So why is there no concerted effort to make police constitutionally literate? Just think about how much better the police-community relations would be if police were constitutionally literate. Constitutional literacy entails knowing the Constitution sufficiently well enough to invoke it properly. Those who take an oath to the Constitution have the responsibility to know its contents and interpretations of it, such as court decisions that are professionally relevant. There's a lot of men and women that have a career in policing without ever even reading the Constitution. So how sincere is one's oath to the Constitution if one hasn't read it or doesn't understand it? First of all, police academies should replace the standard five to six months of training with a two-year curriculum. In addition to the necessary physical, firearms, and tactics training, recruits should take classes that you might typically find in an undergraduate program - from criminal and constitutional law to sociology, psychology, and conflict resolution. A clear understanding of the nature of the society they will serve, and all its complexities are fundamental to any member of a service profession. By doing a simple search on KZbin and watching a few videos of "First Amendment Audits" you can plainly see how ignorant most police officers are when it comes to our rights. So more education is needed, not just training. www.policechiefmagazine.org/education-offers-best-solution-for-police-misconduct/

The problem is this the balance. Academies are supposed to be challenging no doubt. Physical fitness, handling stress, and highly competent educated officers in civil rights, constitution, and criminal law are the hallmarks of well prepared officers. Not so big on the "military" or boot camp style training. Policing has evolved in the 21st century whereby police officers are EXPECTED to assume a more human services role due to rise in contacts related to mental health, substance abuse, and other social challenges. Expectations of following a chain of command, respect of your senior officers and command staff, and all that stuff can be accomplished without necessity of a "military" style boot camp. These are public service positions, the goal is to keep all safe. Public safety and law enforcement IS NOT military or combat work. Support our officers yes but when you militarize police forces you are fogging the mindset, the unintended consequence of the militarization of civilian police departments is an us against them mentality. This mentality is unsafe for not just police but the civilians they serve as well.

Dear every police academy in America, stop telling your Marine veteran recruits to compare it to Marine boot camp. It's just ridiculous and frankly quite ignorant.

[@innerthoughts6057]

Its funny Sac PD is hiring but you can't get even get a lousy civilian job with Sac Sheriff. Five times in five years I applied for the Sheriff Security Officer position and still haven't heard nothing from the Sacramento sheriff department.

[@CarlosGarcia-rg6sd]

Can’t wait to go, 3 years until I’m 21 and am able to try out

[@alyc8658]

Nice! im 16 and can't wait either!

[@dorothyientile4501]

Thank you all for your service.

[@jaredl.1738]

I’m scared for the academy in 10 months but I want to prepare. I hope I can make it.

[@onlyclipz8597]

2:20 he said he would extract their personality

[@Larrypint]

Nowhere in the western world is the police training as short as in the USA. 4-6 months before you have the power to decide about death or life. Less then 1 week of that training is for social competence, psychology, communication and de-escalation. Just in Comparison German police 30-36 Months/4500-5000 Hours training. BTW. "Defund the police" would do the opposite ... And yes Blue life matters too, but they need to change that training. Greetings from Germany

[@taskforceapache2753]

Depended on the department for the training some afford body armor some don’t some afford tasers some don’t

[@mitchelll3879]

1000 hours to carry a badge and a gun, and the ability to take ur freedom...1500-2000 hours to wash and shampoo and cut hair...these morons need to be psychologically weeded out, the rest spent extensively studying the constitution, state and local ordinances, citizens amendment rights, de-escalation training, more training with the law, none of these idiots training them to be Rambo.. effing idiots

[@mitchelll3879]

Germany, greetings..u couldn't be more right... defunded police isn't possible..this nonsense right here is what's needed to stop.. anyone can play soldier..and if ur at war, u gotta have an enemy..and the area ur supposed to police is just occupied territory...that about sum it up, swine?

[@Nomadicshunti1963]

I really like the way of recruiting they have people from 22 to 35 amazing in many countries they don’t hire recruits who are more than 25 and for police chiefs or senior position they have direct recruitment .

[@victoriabarefoot7434]

160 hours learning how to shoot a gun. How many hours would take to learn the first amendment?

[@panvavan]

Should I try? I'm 36

[@3summerfriends472]

man im in trouble I live in sacramento and want to become a law enforcement officer

[@Mo-hd1lb]

anyone know why that cadet at 1:38 has a ribbon

[@Northeastbaseball]

Some type of Police Academy award most likely.

[@JULYXXIV]

P/T ribbon most likely.

[@jacobcarreon3136]

How long is the police academy for ?

[@kodyking3090]

Jacob Carreon it’s in the video

[@Northeastbaseball]

Anywhere from 3 to 6 months, most places its 6+ months.

[@kodyking3090]

Northeastbaseball what’s nice is that some pay you for it while others don’t

[@JULYXXIV]

It depends. Mine was 750 hours.

[@mountainghost556]

It's around a college degree. Depending on state and juristiction requirements.

[@4games2gamers]

good luck to all of you Officers

[@fishontv123]

Anybody able to compare this to Marine Corps Bootcamp? I figured since I've been there, this would be a breeze. Any comparisons? I know they talk about it in the video, but just asking for personal experiences.

[@Latitude_]

They should hire police officers who are over 25 years old because under 25 the brain is still developing

[@mitchelll3879]

I have seen most cops and most of their brains never developed

[@wokandax]

Do i need any High school diploma to become a cop?and would they accept me if i gave them my chef's diploma? Pls someone respond

[@thecentrygames4610]

You need a High School Diploma or G.E.D

[@wokandax]

@@thecentrygames4610 ok thanks

[@cu99460]

I see the physical, but I don't see the academic side. What do you study and how much do you have to know. For example, do you study law and how much does that make up your training?

[@thereadinesschannel7610]

I see no responses so I will answer you. In California POST sets the academic standards by what are called learning domains. This curriculum is the same across the state for police/ Sheriff academies and is alot of work load during your 6+ months in a program. There are constant tests that have to be passed to continue throughout an academy. The comparisons of military training vs LE academies is a pointless topic due to the difference of functions. A LE academy is not building Marines and the corp is not building cops ( non military) . I see military people quit academies and also some excel to the cream of the crop, it is more a question of the individual, not “ which is harder” additionally academies vary on the stress factor by location. Being an old school graduate it’s my full belief the higher the stress the better. When you are face to face with a violent parolee that is fighting you to the death and calling you everything in the book , there are no stress cards or hostile environment complaint departments to cry to, and that’s what a good academy prepares you for. Discipline, honor and integrity are forged in the furnace imho. Good luck to you

[@doubleemcastillano464]

Shout out Marine Corps. I wonder what platoon that guy graduated from.
