My Dad had one and we lived in Texas. He had so many degrees and diplomas that when we moved he had a closet filled with picture frames each one a different degree or diploma. lol My oldest brother said What the hell Dad how many do you have? And my Dad said well these are just the ones I couldn't fit in my closet at my office.

We have a hard enough time getting people to want the job in the first place.

We only want the best patrolling our streets and protecting us. It would be foolish to settle for any old charlatan who would want to be a policeman just because they thought it would be cool.

My uncle (former Texas Cop) says there are two types of people in law enforcement: those who want to serve and those who want control over others.

College is basically free in Norway, you'd have to pay some social security there amount to about 20 Euros a month. Public servants get good salaries there in general.

In most cities (at least in Texas) you have to have about 30 hours of college credit or 3 years of military with a honorable discharge to become a police officer or firefighter.

Same in Germany. The students are paid very well though and get a special public status with loads of social benefits right from the start.

Because the US uses a decentralised law enforcement system every department is different. Yes they follow and enforce the law but each departemnt can set its own protocols, training, and recruiting. Unlike in the UK, Norway, and many other countries all have centralized systems which allows to adopt policies like in the OP nationwide.
