Reply to comment by hkaerki in US States, Police Training v Shootings/Violent Crime (per million) [OC] by tommytornado

Do you live in Connecticut? Because this website says it's only --- 818 hours --- of basic training to become CT cop. Can you fill me in on what the facts are for this, or a site where I can see for myself?

Another couple sites say it's --- 900 hours --- of training for Connecticut police.

I don't live in the US. So I can't tell you about the facts on that site.

oh, it's alright. which country you live in? I'm curious because 3 years and 1200 hours is a hefty amount of time for initial training.

I live in Finland. And I think 1200 hours is not that much of training. I mean compared to studying 3 years in police academy.
