This opinion piece specifically cites the need for police training models similar to what is done in Europe-combining higher education with police training. We’re definitely doing groundbreaking work with our innovative police training model!

@VPDWalsh77 @BrandondelPozo @PeterMoskos Great article! We run the only program of its kind in the US, similar to Europe. We educate and train future police officers in 4 years undergrad, including an academy at the end. Authorized by the MA Municipal Police Training Committee. Definitely the model of the future.

Range staff replaced the old grips on my handgun & I claimed with a straight face that the new ones were too harsh on my sensitive skin and what could be done & without missing a beat, the range officer said he could get some Hello Kitty grips for me and this is why I like cops.
