minus-squarePotatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 months ago The duration of the training in the Police Academy varies for the different agencies. It usually takes about 13 to 19 weeks on average but can last up to six months. https://golawenforcement.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-to-become-a-police-officer/ Up to six months… Yikes. In the software engineer industry, if you spent a year in a coding bootcamp, I still wouldn’t trust you to know what you’re doing.
minus-squarerealbadat@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoEhhhh… That’s misleading. In many places to be eligible for the academy you’d have to have an associates or bachelors degree. But again, location dependant.
