Whatsa matter, Don? News not bad enough for you?

How much training do police receive in major US cities, John?

For traffic control, basic first aid, and shooting a rifle in
self-defense? Probably about a week.

John H

Probably?


Doug, I'm not joining a ****ing contest with you guys. If you want bad
news, read Harry's posts.

Reality check: what John posts and obviously likes is simple-minded
military propaganda.

Fairfax County, Virginia, a surburban area not quite as dangerous as
Iraq, trains its new cops at The Fairfax County Criminal Justice
Academy, located at 14601 Lee Road, Chantilly, Virginia. It trains
approximately 230 new law enforcement officers a year. The Fairfax
County Criminal Justice Academy is currently the training center for all
law enforcement officers from the Fairfax County Police Department,
Fairfax County Sheriff's Office, and the town police departments of
Herndon and Vienna. Animal Wardens and Fire Marshals are also trained here.
The six month basic recruit session, is a non-residential training
program. Recruits commute to the facility Monday through Friday for an
eight-hour day, varying between day and evening hours. The curriculum
includes Virginia law, report writing, criminal and accident
investigation, warrant service, crime prevention, defensive tactics,
emergency vehicle operations, first aid, and firearms skills. Throughout
the session, recruits must maintain at least a 75% grade point average
and pass training objectives which are mandated by the Virginia
Department of Criminal Justice Services. The Academy provides 919 hours
of training which far exceeds state requirements. The hours translate
into 28 ACE college credits which can be transferred to an Associate's
Degree program in Criminal Justice at Northern Virginia Community College.
The hours that must be successfully completed are as follows:

Basic School 400 hours
Firearms Training 80 hours
Driver Training 80 hours
Physical Fitness 126 hours
Defensive Tactics 113 hours


But, what the hell...six days of training by some military idiots is the
equivalent, eh? I mean, it isn't as if these Iraqi "cops" are going to
be facing any real danger.
