I think that becoming a cop should be like other professions like carpenter or electrician. There should be apprentice, journeyman, and master phases. It should not be done on a whim or because the bottom dropped out of your current profession.

Starting prospective cops young gets administrators, trainers and recruiters a long time to assess whether that prospect can pack the gear.

I did a background and oral board of a female last year who used a grant to go through the police academy and has been sitting on her ample duff for the last three years of unemployment or other gov handouts. She had no family in LE and no clue what she was doing.

Needless to say, she was not even considered and primarily it was her work ethic that did her in.

I commend the board on not caving to political correctness.....which is probably the number one reason we're in the predicament we're in, with law enforcement and even in the military.
