Due to recent and obvious training failures (ICE in MN) and calls for funding cuts it is becoming difficult to recruit suitable LEOs. Suitable as in one who desires to help others while at the same time has a strong sense of right and wrong.
Solution: Make a HS class in policing mandatory to present the reasons, the qualifications and the wherewithal of policing. Such a class would provide impressionable soon-to-be-adults with the canons that are the backbone of law enforcement officers: #1 No Lying, No Cheating, No Stealing, No Exceptions, No Excuses. #2 Vital Exigent Circumstance and the Doctrine of the Lesser of Two Evils notwithstanding. #3 The competence to know the differences.
Mentored by local, county and state police agencies, students would gain a perception into the relation between citizens’ rights and police duties. Class excursions to LE training academies, penal institutions and trial court facilities could be very educational. Though underage, these high-schoolers could not be taught how to use physical/lethal force, but more importantly, when to deploy such controls. The tutelage and involvement this next generation of responsible citizens would gain – even if most don’t become LEOs – would be beneficial to all Americans.
