    If there is no trauma before the police academy, it’s created and cultivated in the academy.

      Isn’t the training period only like a couple of weeks. I feel like that’s not long enough to learn to be a cop. At least not a good cop.

      When I learnt to be a network admin, the training course was a year, and I’ve never shot anyone so clearly the longer training works.

        In California it’s a bit longer, 3 -4 months. Still not really long enough, and aimed towards a certain type of person. It may not teach how to be a good cop, they will teach you to be in constant fear.
