Why would a beat cop need any sort of college education?

• WoahNoun 4y ago
  Because enforcing the law requires some minimum understanding of the law and criminal justice. It's pretty clear the current requirements aren't meeting that minimum.

    I doubt a college degree requirement would change that. The vast majority of policing is taught on the job, and experience counts for more that formal education.

      > The vast majority of policing is taught on the job, Translation: "Your average police officer has absolutely no knowledge of the law." How can you possibly learn what the law says on the job?

        Incorrect translation.
