@JohnSkinner101 @walterwkatz One reason we need a national public safety academy akin to Annapolis or West Point.
@AllThingsHLS Any idea how profile of incoming students compares? Or is it hard to do so bc diff schooling? @walterwkatz @johnskinner101

@emptywheel @walterwkatz @johnskinner101 I'm no expert but the Spanish Nat'l Police is like the officer corps & the Guardia Civil enlisted -
@emptywheel @walterwkatz @johnskinner101 Sort of like state police and locals. But both attend the same national police academy. -
@emptywheel @walterwkatz @johnskinner101 Students seemed to be high-calibre university-types. Courses were academic in focus. -
@emptywheel @walterwkatz @johnskinner101 U.S. Police academies seem to be focused on skills and applications. Most are only 4 to 6 mos long. -
@emptywheel @walterwkatz @johnskinner101 Final point. If you want professional police officers, you have to train them to be professional. -
@AllThingsHLS Totally in favor of that: just curious how it'd play out culturally @walterwkatz @johnskinner101

@walterwkatz I can even think of families of cops I know where it'd be big cultural change @AllThingsHLS @JohnSkinner101
