We have to solve hundreds of leetcode questions just to eventually copy and paste some code from stack overflow. Maybe we should make potential officers solve some LC questions. Builds character.
Bring immigrant police on H-1B.
That would shift the trend from ”charging” the public to ”charging” the public. One is over the table and across your face and the other is under the table. 😁
Bar is typically physical and high compliance to authority (don't question it and obey blindly)
I should add, many pass the physical but not the psychological test
When I was in the military (reserve unit) local PDs would recruit heavily from our unit. To say the bar to become a cop is too low is a major understatement. Soldiers we didn't even trust driving our Humvees would get hired. It was very scary.
Well just like any other public service job, the pay needs to be higher.Once that happens the competition will increase and the bar will be higher.
Yeah I departments should be down sized up to 70%. Bar should be raised significantly along with breadth and depth of training. And pay should be on par with general physician.
Pay is pretty high for uneducated employment. Beat cops can easily make low 6figs with overtime, and more senior cops can make Silicon Valley TC. They probably work more hours than we do but compensation wise it’s not a bad deal for them.
Are there any physical tests to pass? Like 🏃 or lifting? I know long time cops can get fat but I wonder if there are standards for new hires
Maybe Amazon can loan them some bar raisers.
