At least 30 states let some newly hired local law enforcement officers hit the streets with a gun, a badge and little or no training...So if they're untrained and unqualified, what does that say about those who advocate that police are "The Only Ones" who should be armed...?
No one seems to know how many untrained recruits are on the streets. But the practice appears to be most common among small-town police forces and sheriff's departments.
