minus-squarePotatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months ago The duration of the training in the Police Academy varies for the different agencies. It usually takes about 13 to 19 weeks on average but can last up to six months. https://golawenforcement.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-to-become-a-police-officer/ Up to six months… Yikes. In the software engineer industry, if you spent a year in a coding bootcamp, I still wouldn’t trust you to know what you’re doing.
minus-squareKnock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoThere are police academics? There should be films about them to publicise their existence.
minus-squarerealbadat@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoEhhhh… That’s misleading. In many places to be eligible for the academy you’d have to have an associates or bachelors degree. But again, location dependant.

minus-squarepyre@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoSIX MONTHS? what’s this, theoretical physics? just give them a gun and tell them to go about their way. hell, most of the training in police academy is probably done with pantone color charts teaching the exact skin tone where murder becomes acceptable.
