"RCMP union pushes for change to help force attract talent from U.S., other countries"

[brihard]

I remember when I was new to the job market, many of the requirements and entry standards seemed artificially inflated compared to what the job entailed and were there just to prevent every Tom, Dick and Harry from applying to prevent HR departments from swimming in CV’s.

Fast forward to today where those jobs now don’t attract as many applicants. How many of those standards are necessary and how many were used to weed out all but the absolute best CV’s?

Minimum requirements in policing aren’t high, but training requirements should be, and that’s what really gets looked at for laterals.

Some learned behaviours cannot be trained/re-trained away. As Booter alluded to, having transplanted big city US street cops wrap their heads around our use-of-force model may be a bridge too far.

50 states all with their own version of a criminal code can’t be helpful either. And all those counties with their own thoughts….

Similarly, but obviously not on the same level, I have observed where 'big city' cops patch over to rural, deployed policing and bring the 'big city' mindset with them.
