    The thing that's crazy to me is that I have access to all of this information and incredible perspective before I head to the academy. You are all learning as seasoned officers and I have the ability to start my career with some of this knowledge.

    One of the biggest career enders is "pride" . Good officers can let things go and don't have to "win". Since being retired, I've encountered way too many young officers who lack good communication skills. They flat don't know how to talk to people.

    Can you do an episode where y’all talk about your experience in field training phase of being as officer? I’m starting the academy in January and the biggest thing I’ve been stressing about is the field training phase that comes after graduating the academy.

    This one was great, he really made report writing easier for me. Be honest, be accurate and say exactly what happened and don’t worry if it sounds bad. Honesty is the best policy, if you were not in the wrong you will be ok. And this guy sounds like an 03 Marine.

  • @sprawlingman8277

    Why is this even a discussion? Cops get qualified immunity so there is no accountability or transparency. Police investigate themselves and always find that there was no wrongdoing. If there happens to be video, because of powerful police unions and biased employment contracts, police can have access to all video and evidence before having an interview. If by a miracle a cop is dismissed, they can get their jobs back through advocates or just resign and move to another county. Lawsuits are of no moment to cops as they do not pay. The taxpayers do. Essentially, the people who are abused by cops are paying for that pleasure and because of no accountability or transparency, this will continue forever.

      Write to the legal frameworks, concisely and meaningfully. Literature expands the vocabulary, and models the structures of compelling narrative.
