Lol 6 months? Where at? Most places I know of it's 6 weeks.
Here (.nl) it’s a minimum of 3 years for the lowest ranking cops (vocational degree), depending on rank/function there is also a 4 year bachelors degree and a 5 year masters.
Damn that would be nice, we might actually have cops vs bullies with badges.
Sometimes I think the police is just a jobs program for those who can't take the abuse in the service industry and don't have the requisite skills to get through a vocational training program.
An educated bully with a badge is still that. Look at how the Police in Amsterdam broke up peaceful protests at universities. You could see them very happy to swing their long hard batons at young women because they need to compensate for something lacking those attributes.
This would make Freud proud.
Plenty of counties in the US will elect you to Sherriff without any experience at all. Just say the right Tough On Crime rhetoric and you're good to go.
And here’s a reminder that, following the horrible shooting at Uvalde and the police’s staggeringly bad response, they still reelected the local sheriff.
And here is what you get: Former Clark County Sheriff Hit With More Fraud, Money Laundering Charges
Oh hai, neighbor LOL. YEEUP!
Hey while we're at it check out what the library executive director and his lackeys have been up to.

Actually, this is Clark County Indiana (not Nevada). But I'm sure there is plenty of corruption to go around.
LOL whoooops. That'll teach me to actually read links once in a while. But hey, we can be distant neighbors hahaha.
You're right though, plenty to go around. If we could all root out corruption starting in our own neighborhoods, they'd have nowhere to run. :)
Depends on the level of cop. Our feds are 6mo, math- and psyche-heavy courses, and ruthlessly checked for background.
And, they don't have immunity. They do a crime, they'll do a time. Their oversight dept is rough as shit and there's nowhere to magically transfer to unless ya emigrate.
I don't consider the feds really cops though, like I know they are but at that point they're a step above. I'm talking more about your average ticket nanny with a gun.
