Overall a very good post.

Now I will admit that I personally can't stand cops and have had several bad experiences to back it up.

However, I have a problem with bashing anyone and especially any group in general. There are good and bad people in any profession.

Unfortunately, because of the fact it is a very difficult, dangerous, tough job and the fact that the pay usually sucks I find it tends to attract too many, well, lets say less than educated, understanding, and tolerant people.

I think there are several things that can be done to change this.

First, increase education requirements. A minimum a four year college degree as well as ongoing sensitivity and people skills training (many larger departments do at least some of this). The job is a lot more complex and knowledge of people handling a lot more critical than many office jobs that have the same education requirements and training programs.

Increase the pay scale. The pay is pathetically low, especially in many large dangerous urban municipalities. You are only going to attract higher quality people to a dangerous job if you pay them well enough.

Change the focus of policing from “getting the bad guys” and responding to 911 calls to helping people and stabilizing communities.

In many urban areas, LE’s are looked at simply as there to hassle people. Residents only see them when something bad is happening, therefore usually not seeing them in the most positive way. If LE’s take time to get to know the community, involve themselves with the community (helping kids get into sports programs is just one example), this can have so many positive benefits: Reducing crime, increasing cooperation from the community when it is needed to solve a crime, having the community feel the police are their to help rather than hurt them, etc.

Again, this is happening to at least some degree in many areas and where it has, I think you see results. But there is still, in my opinion and experience, a long way to go.
