Absolute disaster in the waiting. So being a graduate makes a good police officer, what happened to good old common sense, and wanting to do it for the right reasons.
30 years ago I'd have agreed with you but the thing about the police though nowadays is that it requires a lot of paperwork and writing reports, taking statements,logging information, sending emails,uploading files etc. There are mass amounts of admin and red tape which actually requires one to be book smart/educated as if you struggle with reading/grammar/punctuation [which many people do] etc it might be a struggle. It is not just a case of driving around, keeping order, dealing with people, arresting people etc. Common sense and doing it for 'the right reasons' isn't necessarily enough to make it as a good officer in the job anymore in that the 'reasons' people have for joining the force will overlook all the red tape baggage that comes with it because so many people are unaware of this side of the job. Teaching is the same;so much of the job now is bombarded with red tape and paper work etc. so that the actual reason that people join the profession for [ie. the actual teaching and working with young people] is only a fraction of the job and hence explains why so many people are put off and leave the profession.
I think all the public service jobs[and indeed many jobs] nowadays in England are so radically different from what they once were or how the public perceives them that people are highly disillusioned by them once they join seeing the sausage factories they have become. Nursing and social work are two others I've heard that have gone the same way in recent years from those in the inside. It is not that they are hard work-rather it is more that they have become flooded with targets,government initiatives, bullying management/difficult colleagues, bureaucracy,accountability,performance management and all the rest before one even gets to do the aspects of the job that you see advertised and which attracts people. It's why you often hear veterans in the jobs say things like 'it's not the job it was when I started in 1991'. Worse is that the media and advertising still promote/sell these jobs to be how people wrongly perceive them rather than what they are. I laugh [in despair] when people watch movies like Dangerous Minds or look at the teaching adverts and say it inspires them to teach when that's a mere Hollywood fantasy and very different to the cold reality of being in a classroom in a school in 2020. Likewise the same goes for all the movies and tv shows about cops and nurses etc like ER. which sells the profession as glamorous and detached from reality. If you watch Educating Essex etc. it's still only a part of the picture of what working in a school means for example and much of the bad stuff has being left out.
A 20 week course plus 3 weeks driving course on average for forces up and down the country, and its simply not enough. A 25 week +3 driving course is what is required. 6 Weeks and they are not going to be prepared for the stuff they will face. They are taking know it all law graduates and putting them on the frontline which will increase police assaults, and create poor investigative work. Even advanced first aiders (ECSW's / ECA's in the Ambulance services) do longer training courses and all they have to train for is how to drive and first aid. Stop cutting corners to cut costs.
@@swanningabout Training courses don't necessarily make them good officers either;sitting in the classroom at police college or doing exams/writing essays often means bugger all. The best training comes from being on the job.
@@shanefolan i agree with what you are saying because a lot of police trainees after they have had their initial training they learn the full prospective of it actually on the job in the streets with a qualified and experienced officer to guide them in the right direction
In denmark it takes 2 years it takes long to know the criminal law, trafic law, police law, criminal psychology, fighting skills shooting skills, driving skills, writing reports,investigation technigues interogation advanced first aid aasistance in trafic injuries and so on. Counter terrorism riot controle ect.
It's horrible. They go up the ranks every few years and they get up to quite high ranks quite quickly where they make big decisions when they haven't had the proper experience that a senior police officer in the streets has had.
Agreed & years ago,didn’t officers who had A-Levels/degrees like Sir Paul Condon & Brian Paddock,spend several years on the beat,before their promotions,one step up the ladder,at a time? Policing is a job thats learnt by living-experience & not just by academic means.
The majority of people that go into the police are already graduates. This fast track thing is an insult to people that put the effort into getting properly trained. Yet another attempt to police on the cheap.
mintyvision The Met do this for new entrants for CID. I agree, as you’re talking civilians who never done drill, inspections, etc & training them as detectives. Ordinary pcs have experience of CID work as they can accompany CID on jobs & get experience of undercover & covert work, for a few years, before becoming a trainee investigator. It’s a bloody joke.
It took me 18wks and then a two year probationary period before I was certified, which is what everyone should have to do. Six weeks is ridiculous ! And the corporate guy in this (the CEO who begins every sentence with ‘So’, a bloody annoying trait of the office dweller) clearly hasn’t got a clue ! You can make it as intensive as you want but that still doesn’t give the recruit what they really NEED ! Repetition of scenarios, Officer safety training, and time to digest exactly what it is they’re getting themselves into and what they’re going to encounter. Six weeks preps them for NOTHING ! The job is much more than being able to pass a few exams. What they’ve actually done is created a production line to pump out fresh PCs at a much lower cost, but at what risk ? Not only to the public, but their own colleagues !
You are partly right but also unfair in many ways. Even when you get a driving licence you will still learn more with time how to drive better from experience as an example. The same here, any new recruit will learn and get better with time, some of them will probably realise this job is not for them anyway. This will be natural selection at the end of the day. Yes 6 weeks is not enough, maybe one year is not enough still they need people to do this job and their budget is tight. You cannot buy experience you can only acquire experience with time and anybody starts somewhere.
You are assessed constantly inclu 8 weeks residential training and it's still two years as a trainee police officer on the streets before you graduate & become a constable. It is still much more than passing exams
I think being a police officer is the coolest job ever, I'm 21 now I recently applied to work with the London Met as a police constable hoping to become my dream job as a detective constable 5-10 years from now! Wish me luck
Serhat congrats you have the prospects of earning poor money, poor conditions and having no support from your superiors- where diversity is now valued above suitability
When I was 10 I wanted to be a police officer, I didn't think about the money then nor do I think about it now, as long as it puts food on my table and pays my bill I'm happy. Being a police officer is my dream job provides discipline and order to my life, growing up without a mother was hard enough.
bollocks, give the kids from inner cities a chance who grow up and are raised in similar areas, not to the students who piss away loans or have no street sense.
If you have a degree, it takes only 6 months training to become a police officer in Tokyo. Otherwise it's 10 months. All police are expected to obtain a black belt in Judo, among other things.
...FYI, the good cops who still remember the oath they took are either laughing histerically or crying into their pillows at night at the absurdity. No matter, THEY will always have my respect.
Damn here in United States my training was 4 months in academy followed 2 weeks field training and a year probation then additional training every year.
Most police officers in California are university graduates and they still all attend a live in police academy of about 26 weeks. But this does include weapons training and pursuit driving.
A Luton recruitment inspector is currently seeking Asian only graduates who are fast tracked even though they're incapable of doing the job and put through the training failing and still being passed out! Investigate that BBC!
How is it that if your a policeman your classed as a professional after little training it took me 5 years to become a mechanical engineer and many other courses
Wow, 6 whole weeks!! Nothing like thorough training, huh? Why not make it easier, starting with the entrance exam. You know, draw this mouse and become a cop?!
They should not do this for degree people they should also offer this to people who want to be police officers and willing to serve the community. Not happy with this at all!!
I looked at some stats that showed police numbers PEAKED in 2009........We had the least per head in 1967, yet when I had my bike stolen as a child a policeman came to our house! Phoned them today after getting threatened, 35 min wait, no answer. Called at police station....closed down. Tried again using a phone stuck to the wall outside in the rain, they were not interested. Never actually got to speak to a real officer at all that day, only another civvy helper on 'live chat' when I got home to complain! One paramedic on T.V. recently said she spends two thirds of her time dealing with the same drunks and druggies time after time. All this says to me that the real problems lie with degradation in our society. My nearest 'manned' station is now 25 miles away, and I live near a small town, sad!
More crime prevention is needed and a updating of the law. More on the job training. More disarm, subdue, restrain, and control, reasonable force. People need to have more power to enforce the law and capability.
6 weeks of training?! Omg!!! In Germany you have to pass a training of two and a half years to become a police officer (lowest rank Polizeimeister/paid like a sergeant in the armed forces) or you have have to pass 3 years of Bachelor studies. And that you have to do for becoming a police officer in some German states. For example in Hesse is the lowest rank Polizeikommissar. After passing this study you are a Polizeikommissar (paid like a lieutenant in the armed forces). But in Germany every police officer carries a gun and is basically trained in every part of police service. I don't feel safe when I visit the UK with the knowledge of short trained police. I also know about the requirements for becoming a police officer in the UK. Sometimes I think they are not strong enough in Germany. That means the physical tests and the assessment center are not hard enough in the last years. But than I look to the UK and see it could be a lot worse!!!
I don’t think anyone gets it- it’s two years and the process is extremely extensive and you’re monitored very closely. I know people who have finished and immediately applied for their detectives and got in first time. I don’t see how that’s any different? There’s a lot more to it than it’s letting on! This news report is really misleading! You can literally apply to the police as a normal person, this is no different!
this doesn't seem right. it seems that they are trying to save money by getting graduates and giving them an intense short course. these people will never be ready to face every challenges on the streets and they will probably be lacking the confidence. such a serious job needs more training than this
Doesn't make any difference where I live. It's near a small town, but the nearest police station is 25 miles away....You have to use a red phone stuck to the wall in the rain. WHEN they do pick up the phone it's just a civilian. Crap!
I witnessed the changing recruiting policy for Police officers back in the 90s. I was a kinda continual guest at the time and I used to think to myself, is this going to work? Well! 30 years later I think it's evident enough eh?
Whoever done a law degree and went straight to policing with this scheme, give them a break at least they know the law unlike new police officers where they aren't a graduate. Law students that wants to go to the police or people who have done criminology can be great profilers because of the knowledge they acquired in uni. But everyone else they might need more than 6 weeks.
@@timl4257 He never said graduates are superior, just that someone with an in-depth knowledge of criminology or law would be better suited for a police role. Did you even read the comment?
what the hell. in America cops get 6 months to a year of training before they hit the street for an additional 6 months under a training officer. 3 months isn't enough and six weeks sure as hell isn't
6 Weeks... that is for sure a very intensive period! In Sweden if you are cleared after all the tests and psychology interviews and more, there are 2 years of schooling in Police university/campus. After completing these 2 years you will then go out in the real world with the police colleagues at the department you will join later on and be tested for 6 months at what is called "aspiranten". There you will be monitored by a mentor and learn alot from your colleagues in the field of duty. If you pass this, you will become a police officer. But there is a chance that they do not see you fit for duty and therefor you will not pass the last step.
This is why the quality of the police has declined significantly over the years. They started lowering the requirements during the late 90's and this is where we've come to - just 6 weeks. They're more concerned about trying to trick minority groups into joining the force than they are producing good police officers. What they refuse to accept is that the police force just isn't a viable career choice among many cultures. South Asian families for example want their songs to become doctors/GP's. Black families tend to push their kids towards sports. All they're doing by lowering the standards and effectively banning white males from joining is creating a shortage of constables when there's an abundance of young men who would make good police officers and would help make London a safer place. It's really just another example of how multiculturalism has failed.
Six weeks sounds about right. That's enough time to learn everything you need to know about how to stand idly by and watch as lawless and thuggish mobs of vandals deface and destroy public monuments.
Graduates are a joke you need to be street wise after a few weeks training you really cant go on the street.The best cops are non graduate.Reality is it takes a year at least to know what you are doing
same in germany... But we have training on weapons (in my case MG3,G3,MP3, MP5, and the P6) from the first day on. And ...what makes a difference to the U.S. we repeated everyday collectively how bad it is, to shoot someone.
@@runb32 very different ... Bundespolizei (federal police) earns more than the average state police. And it belongs if you start as a Kommissar (about Lieutenant in Nato code) or after a study as a Rat ( its equivalent to generals ;) But a normal Komissar, 50 years of age, married, two kids, 30years service....about 3500 euros. I think average income after the training years will be about 2000 euros.
in two countries in the world its a 3yr degree course, as it should be that way they will at least know some of the laws they are supposed to uphold and not just put their own twist on them as they do now. It would also help weed out the trash, if you aren't in it for the hard yards how can you be in it for the long haul.
I trained for 4years to be a electrician……..this shows just how low down the scale of things police are ! You couldn’t be a good labourer after six weeks !
No sorry how the hell do you expect people from poverty houseing Estates to relate with the police when they are coming from completely different background never going to work and I believe all people who work with people should be mandatory training to no how to support people with mental health and learning disabilities etc
@The Bloodbender True. I don't understand why it has to be so long because what I want to do is CTSFO which is alot more different from what a normal police officer do
@@quezz3461 A CTSFO would be at least a fair few years (at least 5) as an AFO. You'd have to complete the 2 years probation before even starting an AFO course. You sound like you'd be joining too much for the guns, rather than all the policing work that goes with armed officers. Maybe consider something like the Armed Forces - or even in the police world the CNC or MoD Police. All their officers are armed and train heavily for 'combat' situations, especially the CNC!
3 and half months, wasn't enough so 6 weeks is a lot less than needed. This explains a LOT! if you see a police officer...... RUN! because you are in danger.
Yeah its now changed to a stepping stone to hop on to other jobs. It's going to leave the job even worse off in the future because of schemes like this. Over time people will realise how unattractive this job will be because of the lack of experience and pay and it will be reflected in the quality of officers
Mistakes made by police officers are potentially reviewed and challenged by experienced counsel in court. Officers need to know the law thoroughly. They do not have the benefit of being able to look it up in books when out on the streets.

Whoever done a law degree and went straight to policing with this scheme, give them a break at least they know the law unlike new police officers where they aren't a graduate. Law students that wants to go to the police or people who have done criminology can be great profilers because of the knowledge they acquired in uni. But everyone else they might need more than 6 weeks.
Graduates aren't a superior level of person. Universities don't prepare you for the real world.
@@timl4257 He never said graduates are superior, just that someone with an in-depth knowledge of criminology or law would be better suited for a police role. Did you even read the comment?
You are wrong. On the job training is superior to academic
Doesn’t make them a good police officer, when your attending a domestic or someone threatening to kill themselves, your uni degree makes 0 difference
what the hell. in America cops get 6 months to a year of training before they hit the street for an additional 6 months under a training officer.
3 months isn't enough and six weeks sure as hell isn't
6 Weeks... that is for sure a very intensive period! In Sweden if you are cleared after all the tests and psychology interviews and more, there are 2 years of schooling in Police university/campus. After completing these 2 years you will then go out in the real world with the police colleagues at the department you will join later on and be tested for 6 months at what is called "aspiranten". There you will be monitored by a mentor and learn alot from your colleagues in the field of duty. If you pass this, you will become a police officer. But there is a chance that they do not see you fit for duty and therefor you will not pass the last step.
A real joke and not a funny one at that
You should issue asp handcuffs everything else they buy it forces them to research there equipment cases
conquer from within 😊
This is why the quality of the police has declined significantly over the years. They started lowering the requirements during the late 90's and this is where we've come to - just 6 weeks. They're more concerned about trying to trick minority groups into joining the force than they are producing good police officers.
What they refuse to accept is that the police force just isn't a viable career choice among many cultures. South Asian families for example want their songs to become doctors/GP's. Black families tend to push their kids towards sports. All they're doing by lowering the standards and effectively banning white males from joining is creating a shortage of constables when there's an abundance of young men who would make good police officers and would help make London a safer place.
It's really just another example of how multiculturalism has failed.
very dangerous 6 weeks not enough
Six weeks sounds about right. That's enough time to learn everything you need to know about how to stand idly by and watch as lawless and thuggish mobs of vandals deface and destroy public monuments.
Graduates are a joke you need to be street wise after a few weeks training you really cant go on the street.The best cops are non graduate.Reality is it takes a year at least to know what you are doing
dont worry they shipped em to Australia
It takes ten weeks to complete all of the law training and legislation. How are they fully trained in 6 weeks.. wow
Hit the ground running learn by doing getting involved with a big risk of messing up due to the. fast track training.
in algeria it takes 2 years
Steve Terry not really theres only really sharpened bamboo up finger nails to get them to talk
What a joke
It takes 2 further years of on-job training after graduating with an honours degree to become a teacher. 6 weeks to become a copper on the same pay.
It needs three years to become a police officer in germany...
And there’s the problem right there. Bums on seats is NOT going to get you an effective police force.
in sweden it takes 3 years xD
***** and one year in test duty.
Flyingby this is only basic training the still have another 3 years of probation
in Portugal it takes 9 months
same in germany... But we have training on weapons (in my case MG3,G3,MP3, MP5, and the P6) from the first day on. And ...what makes a difference to the U.S.
we repeated everyday collectively how bad it is, to shoot someone.
@@runb32 very different ... Bundespolizei (federal police) earns more than the average state police. And it belongs if you start as a Kommissar (about Lieutenant in Nato code) or after a study as a Rat ( its equivalent to generals ;) But a normal Komissar, 50 years of age, married, two kids, 30years service....about 3500 euros. I think average income after the training years will be about 2000 euros.
My brother after 25 yrs in Navy to join Qld police Australia had to complete 12 months diploma of justice at uni then long time in academy
in two countries in the world its a 3yr degree course, as it should be that way they will at least know some of the laws they are supposed to uphold and not just put their own twist on them as they do now. It would also help weed out the trash, if you aren't in it for the hard yards how can you be in it for the long haul.
Most police don’t know the law there meant to be enforcing
What a load of s... I this is well thought of, this is an awful situation.
And all will be useless.
I trained for 4years to be a electrician……..this shows just how low down the scale of things police are !
You couldn’t be a good labourer after six weeks !
Hold it a moment the problem with the USA police is blamed on lack of training now so what can go wrong with 6 weeks training?
Why does being a man or a woman, ethnic majority or ethnic minority matter so much?
There was a Steve Guttenberg movie about this.
No sorry how the hell do you expect people from poverty houseing Estates to relate with the police when they are coming from completely different background never going to work and I believe all people who work with people should be mandatory training to no how to support people with mental health and learning disabilities etc
That would well explain why they know f all about law and rights . Whip the camera out and they kick off .
In Germany it takes 3 years to be a part of the Police .
The UK has fallen
Big time
No wonder oh we've got no money you don't know how to spend it properly
I want to join CTSFO or armed police but would I have to be a normal police officer for 1 year ??
Ok The bloodbender
@The Bloodbender True. I don't understand why it has to be so long because what I want to do is CTSFO which is alot more different from what a normal police officer do
@@quezz3461 A CTSFO would be at least a fair few years (at least 5) as an AFO. You'd have to complete the 2 years probation before even starting an AFO course. You sound like you'd be joining too much for the guns, rather than all the policing work that goes with armed officers. Maybe consider something like the Armed Forces - or even in the police world the CNC or MoD Police. All their officers are armed and train heavily for 'combat' situations, especially the CNC!
6 weeks? In US it’s 1 week
6 weeks you guys are already useless it just got worse no one's safe the people already know
That Curley head girl😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
training just like the prison service in uk in terms of time period. its not enough for the prison service and wnt be enough time for police
3 and half months, wasn't enough so 6 weeks is a lot less than needed.
This explains a LOT!
if you see a police officer...... RUN! because you are in danger.
in Holland police academy is three years.
Yeah its now changed to a stepping stone to hop on to other jobs. It's going to leave the job even worse off in the future because of schemes like this. Over time people will realise how unattractive this job will be because of the lack of experience and pay and it will be reflected in the quality of officers
Mistakes made by police officers are potentially reviewed and challenged by experienced counsel in court. Officers need to know the law thoroughly. They do not have the benefit of being able to look it up in books when out on the streets.
In other countries you 2 years training... UK shame.
In no way will this drop standards , impact on efficiency and cause miscarriages of justice . 😂😂😂
