Great! We need to keep the classes rolling!
26 recruits huh? I wonder how many will complete training.
What's the over/under on how many will be felons in the next five years?
(Seriously though, good luck!)
Now if we can get the old "it's always been done this way" thinkers out of the highway patrol, we could lateral already certified officers onto the patrol. I know that's blasphemy to old school patrol guys but I hate to break it to you, you aren't that special. It would make more sense to have an abbreviated patrol school,2-3 weeks tops, to train certified officers on Highway patrol specific policy and procedure. A separate patrol school is extremely expensive and time consuming. They get no more law enforcement training than regular academy cadets. They get more physical conditioning, i.e. running around with mattress on their heads and some accident reconstruction classes. Make the process supper selective, require a degree or a minimum years of experience or a combination of both. Or even better give sheriff's departments the ability to run radar and completely do away with MHP.
Radar at the county level is dumb-shit thinking. Imagine all those hot-rod deputies out there running loose with a radar unit on the dash.
I do like the 'running around with mattresses on their heads' visual though. That was 'supper'.
A hot-rod officer is that no matter where they work, PD, SO, or MHP. Don't see the validity in that argument. The ability to run radar is the only thing MHP troopers add to the law enforcement efforts in any jurisdiction. So why again do we need them? Make them state police, giving them general police powers, so that they can fully functional. Otherwise I honestly don't know what we have them for.
