As someone who has personally known plenty of cops, one of them I let him use me as a practice dummy for confrontation training (decades ago). I believe the academy training to be sufficient. What should be added is a yearly extensive psychological evaluation as the job does change people. I would also like to stop the nonsense of being too intelligent disqualifying people to be cops. I believe they should not only allow the highly intelligent in they should enter with a rank.

The resentment from those that "paid their dues" might break up some of this blue brotherhood crap that has to go. I believe any cop caught lying to keep a fellow officer out of trouble or convict a suspect needs to loose his badge and pension. Also interrogation tactics need to change, lying, threatening, and depriving people of food, water, and sleep need to be a thing of the past.
