this is the last time I will talk about my job...I come here to talk about soccer, and I want to get back to that
in the USA, to even become a police officer is a long process
you have to score very high on a written test (reading comprehension, memory skills, etc), then pass a physical agility test
once get thru that, they bring you in for a polygraph, psychological tests, drug screenings, background checks, and more than a few long interviews.
If you can get thru all that (which many do not), they send you thru a 26 week police academy. This is where they find out if your police material or not. If your not, then you are dropped. There is so much that goes on in the academy, it would take me a few hours to explain.
Contrary to what the uninformed, ignorant Seven would have everyone believe, you must have knowledge of all state, county, and city ordinances, vehilcle and traffic laws, the penal law, public health law, criminal procedure law, etc, etc..... it takes someone with some intelligence to remember all of this
This notion that I go around like a bouncer, beating ppl up is Sevens biggest misconception. I get paid the same whether I have to physically take someone down during an arrest, or if I can talk them down, and arrest them without any problems. I do my best to calm down someone who I have to arrest...it makes it easier for them, and myself as well. A little "verbal judo" as we call it, never hurts !!
Like I said before, this job isnt just about beating down criminals, or shootouts, there is a lot of public service involved. Whether it be helping someone who locked their keys in their car, or checking the home of an elderly person who hasnt been seen in a while, its all a part of being a police officer
Now, can we get back to soccer ???
