as recently becoming a Field Training Officer, I am passing on the information/understanding I have acquired here to my rookies. I am doing my part.
that is very good to know, and thank you.

OK, I know we're big on terminology, but I don't know any other way to state that I see a lot of people get shot. I see a lot of drive by shootings where someone may or may not be shot, but the house and surrounding vehicles are riddled with bullets. I go to a lot of "shots fired" calls, and I pick up a lot of shell casings in the middle of the street. All of which (obviously) is illegal gun use, and could be described as "violence." If you have a better way to describe this in a shorter term other than "gun violence", let me know.
.
Most cops have HS diplomas and that's about it ... because that's all that's required..not their fault for that.
And if the academies are teaching this anti-gun mantra then this needs to be addressed. Hummm..I wonder if the records used in the academies are public records....
Hey McMeth, how about some statistical numbers to support your erroneous banter.
Stats on what?
Good Lord Almighty I don't even know what to say. While being somewhat cryptic, I believe i made it pretty clear where I stand, and where most other cops stand.
I CAN'T flat out state anything, because when you become a cop you LOSE your freedom of speech. So I play it safe.
Everyone else except davidmcbeth seemed to be able to figure it out...
. And rarely do college diplomas mean common sense, and a understanding of the constitution.
criminal justice in college .
I'm a criminal justice major, and as of late pretty much every PD in Maine is hiring right now (go figure). On all of the job description pages, the requirements say something like "H.S. diploma or G.E.D., and at least 60 college credits or x-amount of years in a related field."
Clearly all of our cops are better educated than the rest of the country's!

A psychology degree is 10x better than "criminal justice" for this field of work if one wishes to work in this field...(I'm not qualified due to my high intellect)
The requirements are min. requirements. Of course 2 people, 1 with a degree and 1 w/o, who will win this?
Maybe I should apply? Then harass gun owners hehehe ...
From the application ... (not even a HS diploma is required) ...
Education and Experience: Applicants must have a high school diploma or equivalency degree and have either: two (2) years
of post-high school employment experience(s) or three (3) years of education in a post-high school program at a school,
college, or university; or any combination of post-high school employment and post-high school education totaling three (3)
years. Candidates for Firefighter/Paramedic positions must be certified as a Paramedic at the time of application.
Oh I dunno, you seem to think that just having a HS education is all one needs to become a cop,.
Be kind; davidmcbeth is kinda our special needs poster.

All the cops I had in this state testifying under oath have only had HS diplomas ... I ask these type of BR questions with many subject to my examination.
How many have greater than a HS diploma? I don't know. Yet. I will find out.
