On today&apos;s episode, we discuss the basic training that most police officers experience when they are new to the job. Although police academies, post-academy certifications and field training are common to most officers, the quality and consistency of the training can vary greatly based upon funding, staffing and an agency&apos;s common practice. We discuss how funding makes a difference, and what we might do to improve training moving forward.  Email: 3copstalk@gmail.com Website: <a href='https://www.3copstalk.com/'>https://www.3copstalk.com</a> Youtube: <a href='https://youtube.com/channel/UCFWKMerhChCE6_s5yFqc4aw'>https://youtube.com/channel/UCFWKMerhChCE6_s5yFqc4aw</a> Facebook: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068243131641&amp;sk=reviews'>3 Cops Talk | Facebook</a> Instagram: <a href='https://instagram.com/3copstalk?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y='>https://instagram.com/3copstalk?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=</a>
