What level of education/training is typical of suburban and small town police officers in the US?
I live in a really small town and we have a constable and no police officers. We just got a new constable but my guess is the last one probably had a high school diploma. I don’t know if you’re asking this because you’re considering it as a career or if there’s something else you’re trying to get at but here in Vermont many small towns have no “official” police at all though the state troopers have a barracks up the road and they’ve all gone to the police academy.
