Who are you [we] trying to fool? Our department isn’t exactly the standard. We don’t have the volume of work or wide range of calls to really become experts. We have awful first line supervisors who really just pinned on their rank due to the growth of the agency. Our command staff is the tale of two sides; one-half good and one-half terrible.

Please, stop trying to imply that just because someone has twenty years on, that it makes them specialists. Training is good for ALL officers and this profession is currently in the crosshairs due to four reasons: a) politics; b) misconduct and corruption; c) the need for reform and its refusal to change; d) poor leadership.

Training could help in three of these areas, and not just for new officers. Even you grand old marvels could stand to benefit from training. Of course, new officers were affected by COViD19, and the shut down of our country, which resulted in them not gaining the benefit of on-the-job experience, so that will need to be monitored.
I see you drank the fake news cool aid. Only reason police are in the crosshairs of the blue states is because like in Hitler Germany, they dismantled local police to create a national police force which only the socialists control. We all know how well that ended.. just look at history....governments have killed more humans ever since it's creation.
Worst yet, citizens are killing more citizens look at shitcago, screwyork, califunkia shit hole states run by democrats.
