Comments on: If It Quacks Like A Duck … https://whynow.dumka.us/2015/11/08/if-it-quacks-like-a-duck/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Mon, 09 Nov 2015 19:07:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2015/11/08/if-it-quacks-like-a-duck/comment-page-1/#comment-80358 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 19:07:22 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=36125#comment-80358 An associate’s degree would be sufficient, with an emphasis on communication skills, both oral and written, as well as the criminal law. The actual police academy could concentrate on the physical side and specific techniques involved with the job. Law school is only a three-year course.

Most officers prefer hourly as it is rare to work less than 40 hours and you get time and a half when you go over. When I was promoted to a supervisor’s rank I became salaried and lost time and a half. The guys working for me made more money than I did all too often.

Actually using the police to raise revenue is illegal in most states if anyone would prosecute the local governments that do it. These prosecutions are rarer than prosecuting the police officers who murder people.

The Job should require a 4 year degree and should be a salaried posistion. Using the police to raise revenue should be illegal
