Yeah, when I started with a small department at age 20, they didn't require a college degree. However, they ended up paying for mine. The large agency I retired from required a degree for employment, and higher degrees for certain ranks. Personally, I don't believe you need a college degree to be a cop because most states/agencies require annual training and education that meets or exceeds college course studies (law, etc.) TheLastColdBeer, baldie and Hunter1948 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been in customer service of varying degrees- with & without degrees - not taking what some random stranger says personally is a requisite for equanimity & sanity. Some places do great; others need to filter for temperament. EastCoast50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Not just LEO's, any public service field, where interacting with the public is a central component of the job. Nursing, gas stations, White Castle... seeing people for what they are & handling the situation to make it as sm00th an interpersonal interaction for all involved, while not taking it personally, is integral, crucial. For yourself & whoever else. Reading a person or persons & using benign manipulation, mirroring, empathy... just as part of the 'job'.

I agree with you. Beyond basic training, I was further trained, educated and experienced in behavioral science. The human being is a myriad of progression throughout life. What we choose to do with that training, education and real-world experiences as individuals makes the difference and defines us.

Even a well-meaning, ignorant person is gonna at least not fuck it up further than an educated fucknugget with unresolved issues. =D Edited January 18, 2022 by Timmah!
