police: 664 hours of training vs. licensed cosmetologist 1,600 hours (more examples...)

[IcyPeas]

This just doesn't seem right..... it's quite appalling.

Here's a list of different states with comparison of how many hours police get trained vs. things like becoming a barber, cosmetologist, manicurists, interior designers...

To earn a badge in California, you'll need at least 664 hours of academy training. (The state then requires at least 14 weeks of field training.) If you want to be a licensed cosmetologist, you'll need more than that: 1,600 hours.

The minimum training requirement for Michigan police officers is 594 hours. To work with electrical signs, you'll need 4,000 hours of experience

4. A psychological evaluation should even come before training.

I think Keith Olbermann had that idea first.

5. Police are also trained in the academys to control and not to de-escalate a situation. Show Power.

6. You would be shocked at how little time for a CNA as well

75 hours. My daughter was fortunate to have two good ones while she was learning on her first RN job.
