I am yet to find something that isn't a business in the United States

"On Killing" is a landmark psychology book (I'm actually looking at it on my shelf right now) and a truly fascinating read. I respect Lt. Col. Grossman, however this is not the type of training we should provide to domestic law enforcement. If you wanna shoot people and break stuff, join the military. "A soldiers job is to follow orders. A police officers job is to make decisions." - Former Police Chief Norm Stamper

This video focuses on academy training, but does not include the FTO training, and continuing education.

"Nobody regulates in the in-service training." Uhhhhhh.....what? POST, MCLOES, TCLOES, and more. Where did they get these experts? Upwork?

*soldiers do actually need to communicate alot though... & improper use of escalation of force is punishable under ucmj

Professor Rashawn, the buzzword you were looking for is use of force continuum. Not the de-escalation continuum....

Funny how they act like the "burden" of funding police training falls on tax payers. In Ohio there are a lot of people who pay for their own police officer training through academies from their own pockets. There aren't really that many departments that sponsor candidates to go to the academy. And when you consider it's about a 6 month academy followed by 3 months of field training, that's not that short when you consider basic military training is only between 2 and 3 months. Many departments go beyond these 9 months with annual training that continues the officers education. The biggest lacking in training is in dealing with mental health situations. Some studies show as little as 8 hours spent learning how to handle mental health situations. That definitely needs improved. But cutting funding will result in lesser trained officers and worse officers in general. If you want better officers, you need to increase funding for training.

14:30 “Soldiers don’t need to communicate that much” Uh...can we send this lady to be a military advisor to our enemies?

Another issue is the requirements. Like in CA, you only need to be 18 to qualify to be police, and I know people go to the police academy at 17 1/2 years old because this way they will be 18 when they graduate the academy and join the police immediately. (of course, you need GED as well, and I was told police department will then place you depends on your performance, and field training afterward with an experienced officer). Now, no offense to the younger officers, I'm 21 as well. But working as an officer often means more stressful situations, especially in certain areas in CA, especially high crime rate zones. And I just can't imagine me handling the stress and controlling my emotion if I have to deal with some sticking situation or some jerk, I would probably Snap at week 1. And looking at some other state, they often require a military background as well, with the training mentioned above, of course, they act like the military. If more college criteria are needed, like taking ethics classes or Criminal Justice/Law, it could have helped so much and better prepare new officers.

When your army uses tamer methods then your Police force. You know something is very, very, very wrong.

Stop the policing for profit

Everything in America is a business, which means the main concern is always how to make the biggest amount of profit. This is something I've learned from watching this channel and it's a big problem. It's also strange to see not being an American.

When you consider that some countries take two years to train a police officer and here it can take just a couple months, you have to wonder about the quality of the product. American cops are told that the most important thing is that they go home. Take this latest shooting, if I had shot someone simply because I thought that he might be going for a gun, I'd be in jail. Why shouldn't cops be held to that same standard of knowing that there is a threat instead of thinking that there could possibly maybe is sorta a threat. Look how many overreactions we see by the police. There's a nice dashcam video on youtube in which a cop follows a guy into a gas station and after the guy gets out of his car, the cop demands his DL. The guy reaches into his car for his wallet and is shot. The cop then handcuffs the victim before his call an ambulance. How about the Amazon driver who was taken to the ground and handcuffed because he decided to argue about a parking ticket. He's lucky that he wasn't shot for contempt of cop. 80 hours of legal training? I'm expected to know every law that impacts my life because "ignorance is no excuse" but when a cop screws up because he doesn't know the law, we are told, "We can't expect cops to know all of the laws that they are supposed to enforce."

If you want to be an expert on this topic shouldn't you have some sort of policing background? Pretty easy to think you know what's best when you're sitting in your office looking at stats.

CNBC, you should send reporters to agency’s across the country and do ride alongs. Walk a mile in their boots.

imagine having a police from demolition man

Exactly, Warrior mentality vs Guardian mindset That what I have seen while living W-Europe. Send supervisors to Scotland etc to be trained, how they tackle the serious situations. Scotland has 2-3 year training.

Police trainer: We are always trying to save lives Also Police trainer: *proceeds to do an interview in a room full of weapons*

30,000,000 / 60 = $500,000 per police dept from the feds. So why blame the feds for local issues?

I live in a country were every shot fired by an police officer has to be documented! Even if those shots were just warning shots

Resisting arrest in ny is a misdemeanor but a felony in other states.

what i feel is the cops in a interactive situation are more stressed about their own safety. they may be feeling like they are compelled to take action or stop that traffic light jumper at all cost.

How can you make a video about police training and not mention POST?

As a United States Marine machine gunner I know what continuous training can do.Police should have a continuous training program.Every officer should have access to the following, 1 time a week watch a video and have a test. 1 time a month have a weekend of hands on training in various aspects of policing methods and interactions. 1 week a year have a training camp where the officers stay at the location and have intense training on self defense,live fire and criminal apprehension. We trained everyday to make our responses to different situations second nature.This is what police officers need to make them the best they can be.In many ways there job is much harder than mine was.I would go into combat anytime but I would not be a police officer.Much to dangerous for me.

What cnbc will fail to tell you is where the majority of police departments budgets are spent

6:50 Wow, even a plumber is required 7X the training hours police is required! Edit: As all things, this needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but even if this is not the case I would want the police to use more taxpayer dollars on equipping themselves knowledge and personel support than weapons. Because God forbid they might even innovate on dealing with different situations more effectively with as much enthusiasm as they have currently with purchasing military grade equipment.

Very insightful!

In CT you have to pass written, poly, 1st interview, background, 2nd interview, drug screen, psychological. Academy is 23-26 weeks Post academy field training for 12 weeks 6 months probation following FTO After 1 year of service the probation officer is fully vested police officer. POST - Police Officer Standards and Training is our standard and majority of progressive states follow POST every 3 year cycle mandates 60 hours and 9 hours (split into evolutions). Our in-service is funded by police chiefs association... I think some of your facts are off... at least in all of the POST certified states.

[16:20] The FBI has been providing this information for as long as I can remember.

liquidate all military equipment in police use that money for conflict management training

In Australia, we only have State and federal police, All state police require a degree and go though about a year of training. Federal are more like the FBI in the US and don't do regular police work and also are more highly trained. The police are fairly highly paid and we don't seem to have the same issues with abuse the US has been having. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/hGaEgX2pgJeSzac.html

There's not one cop that does not have fear when he has to apprehend someone. In the back of that officers mind he does not know what can happen. Fatalities will lesson if police go to a buddy arrest system. When an officer has a buddy the chances of injury in there will decrease. Egos can get in the way. It's a highly stressful and under paid jobs. But injuries and fatalities can be reduced with a buddy system that takes safety at high priority.

Didn’t know that was a “Business” too

The training on metnal illness and abuse is pisspoor.

Well of course the police departments are different state by state. Some states have greater crime, some states have more landmass to police it.

My initial training was all "On the job" (OJT). Didn't see a State Academy for a year and a half. In that time your sheriff (the man who hired you) can loose an election while you become a City Police Sgt. with your County experience without ever getting near an academy yet ? Glad "Requirements" took a great leap since the 70's! But a "RE-FIT" would be most appropriate at this point?

I hear a lot of these reports from the US. One thing im a bit shocked about is the short education to be police in the US. Overhere, Europe/Scandinavia, to be a police is a bachlor degree education, that is University regulated education. That is govermnet regulated education. You need to have an approved high school education in educational subjects. Also to get accepted yo need to go through a admission test. That is both a physical ,mental test and security clearance. If you are accepted then you go through the 3 year education program at a bachlors degree. At the end of the education you write a scientific paper. So i think the US needs to look serious about this and change it.

mOrE trAinIng! But then they cut the funding........ Right

In the Netherlands, we saw those Hollywood movies with cops of small towns, father and son , both sherrif or Dukes of Hazzard, very funny. Not anymore, now we know it happens in real life

Don't be criminal , you're safe

Stress training = Military type training is a complete fad. Talk about junk science.

2nd false dichotomy .. applicants with military training are also given preference.. because of experience and training they've already received.. now it can be argued this might threw osmosis be a bad thing .. but .. if were simply talking training .. it has to be considered

Does anybody remember the movies back in the 80s police academy that was not just a joke

Why remove field training from the stats? Doesn't show what you want huh?

First, you have presented statistics on how many are trained various ways, but you have presented NO data on which of these officers are better equipped to enforce the laws or to serve the public. Second, you say that about 1/10 of the training is devoted to "legal" education, but many (most?) of the officers are not especially familiar with the Bill of Rights. Like every other government funded program, 90% of the funds are stolen and misappropriated.

Commitment #2

To become an attorney or cosmetologist I am required to graduate from a standardized and federally recognized training program. I am required to pay for this myself UNLESS I earn a grant, scholarship, obtain a loan or some other similar payment program is utilized. Why should joining the police force be any other way? There should be schools across the nation, whether it be a trade school for law enforcement or in state or community college or the like. This should be researched by the attendee and with possible assistance by the school resource personnel (I am blanking on the name of school counselor or personnel who help you look for loans, classes, etc.). Anyway, this is my opinion which was formed with what I know so far. My opinion is not likely to change but it could to some degree, if I had more education to base my opinion on.

American police need put under federal control like FBI. They can get good trainings in law and order.

lol... "defund the police" didn't last very long

US occupation army in Afghanistan and Iraq behaved better than cops in America.

Where is this money coming from If the US is 30 Trillion in Debt? 😂😂😂

these guys need to learn to use their words instead of kicking and beating whoever that makes them emotional

Does everything have to be so convoluted? Who are the contracting companies receiving threse hundreds of millions in training funds? Who's checking the effectiveness of the training? EVERYTHING in America has an inflated budget and we spend a much higher percentage on policing, healthcare, education, military with WORSE outcomes. American exceptionalism my azz.

They need to appropriately manage the giant funds already given to them and invest in training. They don't need more money they need less weapons and there you'll have your money for training. Also we need a nation wide standard of minimum training for officers.

'Protect and Serve after Money and business First'

In my experience, most cops have 1-4 years of college education before they enter the academy. Most finish their BA degree within the first 4-8 years of employment. Virtually all supervisors and managers have college degrees. A degree after police training and experience is much more valuable than attaining a degree in Sociology or Psychology or Biology etc before Academy training. We had a officer with a PhD in sociology in my workplace. We arrested him for using heroin and possession of child pornography.

I know for first-hand experience that they only teach you to protect yourself not how to D escalate the situation

LetS dEfuND tHe PoLiCE iTs NOt liKE tHeY uSE THaT moNeY fOR tRaniNg

Even a barber needs more training than a cop

Laws are different in each state. So training will be different.

Experience is a large factor which helps make a better rounded officer. Books are nice but first hand experience is far better.

Train on civil rights. Start there.

Wow so good.

It shows

Training is different than educating. Generally, training means teaching police officers to react to a given situation in the field. Education involves developing the mental and moral tools police officers should possess to build strong relationships with the community. It will teach police officers to think about their response to various problems based on vast amounts of knowledge and then take thoughtful action to resolve a problem. What they need is educating them on our Constitutional rights. Police officers enter their profession by taking an oath to the U.S. Constitution. So why is there no concerted effort to make police constitutionally literate? Just think about how much better the police-community relations would be if police were constitutionally literate. Constitutional literacy entails knowing the Constitution sufficiently well enough to invoke it properly. Those who take an oath to the Constitution have the responsibility to know its contents and interpretations of it, such as court decisions that are professionally relevant. There's a lot of men and women that have a career in policing without ever even reading the Constitution. So how sincere is one's oath to the Constitution if one hasn't read it or doesn't understand it? First of all, police academies should replace the standard five to six months of training with a two-year curriculum. In addition to the necessary physical, firearms, and tactics training, recruits should take classes that you might typically find in an undergraduate program - from criminal and constitutional law to sociology, psychology, and conflict resolution. A clear understanding of the nature of the society they will serve, and all its complexities are fundamental to any member of a service profession. By doing a simple search on UKposts and watching a few videos of "First Amendment Audits" you can plainly see how ignorant most police officers are when it comes to our rights. So more education is needed, not just training. www.policechiefmagazine.org/education-offers-best-solution-for-police-misconduct/

A major issue I see is that they are trained to put their own lives before anyone else's

Let me get this straight....Police can start working as police officers BEFORE they start police training?!!......Makes sense now 🙄

What about de-escalation training? Need to focus more energy and mental health training.

Your not making lawyers out of police officers.

So wait ..defending isn't the answer..imagine that

You know why there are no federal training guidelines? 10th amendment. You want a federal police force (FBI)?

The USA needs to redesign its policing. I'm a UK citizen, having lived for 27 years in Spain, the comparison between European and USA policing is shocking, and deadly for USA, esp Black, citizens. In Europe the USA version of policing is immediately condemned. No where is perfect but the USA as the self presumed leader of the world is a disgrace to the human race. Stop now. Change.

Nice zoom background bro

#OurUKposts

I have a curriculum.....that should be federally mandated....

They need more training. Taking away all their toys. The law is the law. Defunding then and have them built to serve the community now built to turn on a city like Portland or anywhere else.

1:14 That was ME i had my hands up and the officers dragged me to the ground and i was beaten.

Why did that one lady grope the other lady’s chest?

Honestly this sounds like people who don’t know what they’re talking about trying to speak /report on a much more complex and involved topic. There is no balanced approach from most importantly but missing ACTUAL OFFICERS. There is a lot of missing information. There is no talk of the environment and the actual reality of the job that requires said measures. Unfortunately this seems to be the norm now in reporting and should not be called “journalism.” There needs to be a report on today’s “journalism.” As a result reports like these have no credibility and very little substance. I’d be happy to speak about it in further detail if you reach out to me.

It’s simple each state and county have different laws of conduct and so you can’t have cookie cuter plan.

Since when does the Police need Military training?

14:48 who fires like that

Sounds like people are complaining about the cost of law enforcement to the tax payer on one hand and not enough police training on the other hand. Sounds like complaining that there's no federal standards but when ex federal experts are used it's considered too violent. Do you want to spend money to train or save tax payer's money? Nobody's perfect and each state varies in training. Research and current events seems to show the the upper echelon of training, including mental health concerns, is on the west coast and tends to lessen the further east you go. If training is so bad in the United States maybe we should be like other countries like Russia, China, Pakistan, etc. We'll see how America likes to be policed.

The reason of bad training is because they don’t have enough money if you defund the police then the problem is just going to just get worse

He's sitting in a room full of knifes and saying he trys to save lives lmao

Desk Jackie’s giving advice for those who have too work the field what a joke.

mental health!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about we invest more money into the community? Root of crime is mental issues... low jobs low education low resources in poor communities.. invest in drugs & alcohol abuse.. then maybe..just maybe an educated person with a job wouldn't have to resort to violence of what so any

...excluding Iraq or Afghanistan, yikes that's not good to hear

Law enforcement is ugly. People want it done but they don’t wanna see it they don’t wanna hear it. Making people do what they don’t want to do is ugly. If you are a parent you understand.

yeaaah. in my country police training is a 3+ years university and you leave with a bachelor's degree. lolz :D

Good we need all that money for them they deserve it

Its culture and attitude, not training. And this starts at the top.

I give this video 5 stars for being wrong and misleading people.

I wrote this song in appreciation of all the good work police officers do. Enjoy: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/sqmfgqRoqIl21Xk.html

This is the real problem with US police, not racism and stuff like that. This is the difference between European police and US police, and hence the different results...

Lot more crying about the budget instead of the training cops currently get. This I call bs

Social "Scientism"

maybe cnbc trains them

And people want to defund police.. that will surely help with training
