As a reference, training to be a full police officer in Germany takes about 2.5 years (about 130 weeks; possibly varying slightly by state). I have no particular insights on the efficacy or the specifics of the training in comparison to the US -- I assume much of those 2.5 years is spent on the job, and I guess it's possible that police officers straight out of the acadamy also go through some additional training in their first assignment.
