The vast majority of the teachers I've had in community college had either in the recent past taught at "universities" in various areas, or were also teaching at either CSUMB or UC Santa Cruz that same semester. Just some food for thought
Hey I went to community college and university. I don't see too much difference in terms of learning until you reach undergraduate programs.

But that's only my opinion as an observer.
Well said. My point exactly.

Continual training? I'm glad they still try to teach something other than the usual gang-mentality lessons. But I bet those 5 in the academy would be the only ones in this training if it wasn't required..


Hmm... you must be completely missing the point of law enforcement if you think our ultimate goal is fix-it tickets.

Do you think i really care if you have a modified exhaust? or some other correctable violation?

I care about drugs, guns, murderers, rapists, burglars, kidnappers, and the rest of the bad apples.

Ill even extend an offer to take you on a ride along to hopefully change your mind about officers giving out "Fix it tickets."

I'd be down with that, I'm always in for going after drugs, guns, and so on.

The problem is that your opinion isn't based upon anything concrete, just your already formed/parroted "theories"

I was more or less kidding, but if you're getting so fired up about this on the internet, how do you behave on the streets?

P.S. I'm glad you omit the BS and go for the real crimes, and I wish more cops had a similar approach to law enforcement.

Parroted? My opinion is based on my view of the world and my emphasis on the importance of formal higher education.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean any people with a degree can become a cop either. For example, there is absolutely no way I can do what my bro do everyday. I can't deal with dirt bags. Honestly, I will be too scare to deal with gangsters, drug dealers, and so on. It does take special type of people.

I agree again, but I meant that higher education should be a pre-requisite for the law enforcement application process. There are plenty very-educated people in the world who cannot handle the task, as goes with the uneducated.

Im fired up because this is one of the outlets where i can voice my opinion. This is my subaru community and we are all here for one another. The way i act on the street is VERY professional, sometimes almost too leiniant.

You think that's "fired up"? Is this your first internet forum?

Obviously I was born yesterday.

More fired up than I'd want a cop to be. It's not just a profession that you can turn on and off. It's not a stock broker who can do blow all night and work all day and be successful, it's a full time commitment whether on the clock or not, and that was the point I was trying to make.
