Training has a significant influence on how police officers react during routine traffic stops and during life-or-death encounters. In the U.S., there are no federally mandated training minimums for police officers.

other countries have much stricter and longer requirements for training police officers.

Both the International Association of Chiefs of Police and Fraternal Order of Police did not respond to CNBC's request for comment for this story. Watch the video above to learn about how much federal taxpayer money gets spent on police training, and about the cottage industry behind some of the controversy.

Getting guns or knives pulled on them influences them a lot.

supporting Biden isnt just a hobby, it's a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world filled w abuse it's art, a wanted hug,clean air,safe land it's everything u ever wanted, it's everything u need.

Also, they tend to react poorly when ex cons resist arrest after yet another felony.

Trump likes to let things ride and continues to promote chaos. Joe wants to increase funding for training and hiring practices

I've had a long-held belief that police should have a JD (law school just like a lawyer) so they understand the meaning and intent of the laws they enforce. You shouldn't just need training you should need an in-depth multi-year education.

Imagine if civilians simply behaved

Sure, so Fund the police!

Police are not trained to be social workers. They are literally hired guns. Don't send law enforcers to a health crisis.

There should be a MINIMUM requirement of a Bachelors degree because college makes people work together in groups. Less racists in college compared to high school

No, , there 'are no federally mandated training minimums for police officers in the United States' because, as the name suggests, we are a collection of states, each with sovereignty over itself. 🙄

Also, training programs run by retired officers or their companies perpetualating violence

Meanwhile, in Australia, US police would not be qualified to be a security guard at a toilet block.

Hey CNBC: you blow

I bet there aren’t emotional suitability tests either.

GOINGGREEN HAWKINSWALKER2020 where Bernies policies have always been

TheDemocrats defunded the police.

Officers should have to: 1) live in the neighborhoods they police; studies have shown how much it helps 2) Local police and public schools need to sponsor monthly cookouts/ fun events with students ( High-school in particular) 3) Police Officers should take psych classes.

Don’t think it is a training issue, I think it is the mentality of a small minority of police officers. The mentality I’m referring to is systemic racism.

The answer to every problem is not a federal mandate. It is holding local politicians accountable for their shortcomings. Of course, you have to have an educated and engaged electorate for that instead of an every four year manufactured woke crowd .

Time to stop whinning people and GET A JOB!!!!

need more $$$ 4 more training n more officers or go w/o police for different times of day I was told that my city could not afford to run a full staff of detectives 7 days so weekends there were very few if any. than no1 including politicians at the time would admit or comment

funny thing is that all police departments are understaffed to handle the areas they are in and dont have enough money for manpower let a lone more training why do you think there is not enough training ask any police department anywhere in the USA they have the same problems

Only 27 states have any sort of police training.

USA is a sick country...

Trump signed that

In Australia, US police officers would not be qualified to be security guards.

It’s simple. Respect for all human life. That starts at home. But unfortunately that’s where these bad officers learn how to hate and profile.

Why would there be federally mandated anything? Your stupid country is run on STATE independence, blah blah blah Be careful what you wish for. 50 sets of rules lead to chaos and shitty standards.

Stop resisting arrest!! That’s a crime in and of itself. Stop reaching somewhere a cop can’t see. No one gets shot standing still in cuffs.

That's fine at the state level. If the minimums aren't high enough, get them changed in your state.

Finally! Some focus on solutions rather than problems

It is very apparent there is no standard or training for the news media and their journalists. I’ll trust a member of law enforcement long before I trust the news/media.

Here’s a hint: do what your told and you will survive just fine.

If I have to choose to live in a police community or a BLM protestor community. I choose the former one. Because I don’t want to live with the socialists, communists, anarchists and terrorists. God knows what they will do to me if I mistakenly say something they don’t like.

Antifa and BLM got well trained to destroy U.S and honest Americans!

PoliceViolence PoliceReform PoliceBrutality

It’s not a training issue. It’s the lack of accountability and the bootlickers who perpetuate it

Deep state... We know organisations protect themselves their hierarchy way of doing things that process may appear as a CONSPIRACY. Across govt depts there are often motives that run counter to PUBLIC INTEREST some protect people at tbe top!

Example outside US,Ontario Canada.12 week basic course, augmented by another 8 week in house and then with a coach officer.Once finished academy style training sworn in as 4th class,progress through training/probation to 1st class in 3yrs.Cost paid by recruit is $14,500.
