Have you gotten an ego boost because you did well at the assessment center? Sure sounds like a rehearsed post from studying too many police management books.

I'd take it a step further. Drop the military style academy garbage for anyone who's DOCJT or POST certified from another state and make it in-service training instead. Laterals from Kentucky should be sworn in as officers on their date of hire and given blocks of in-service training each month as time permits covering the LMPD-unique topics in the academy they actually need. Start with truly important topics and work towards the unimportant garbage that's been added over the years, or just drop it. You don't need weeks on how to talk to people the LMPD community policing way. There's nothing unique about policing here. It's just another department among thousands. Some of that crap they teach recruits is truly laughable.

They can do the same with out-of-state laterals once they pass DOCJT's minimum requirements to get sworn in.
