Are police officers trained in emergency vehicle driving as part of their academy training? Or are they only trained if they will be driving a police car?

Asked by Jet over 11 years ago

I would imagine most states require police officers to receive emergency vehicle operation training in the academy.

The glorification of violence is an unfortunate situation in modern society. It desensitizes and dehumanizes people. Marketing such games to children is abhorrent.

Are there procedures that police officers use that are wrong according to their training (not "textbook" perfect) but are still used because they are more convenient and/or make more sense?

Asked by Jes over 11 years ago

Nothing in reality is ever textbook perfect. There are too many variables in every investigation and interaction. Also, criminals rarely cooperate.
