Even before BLM, police and citizen tension was high.

Is the job dead or in decline?

People take crime in their own hands?

I know some that had degrees and went to work in federal law enforcement. There’s also a pyramid of upper positions that make pretty decent money like detective, lieutenant, etc all the way up to chief of police.

Saw today where police recruits here in KC will now start at 65,000. Not sure I would want it, but at least it is getting competitive.

Well, I don’t think AI is taking it over as quickly as other jobs, so there is that.

Democrats will seek to federalize all LE.

The existence of small departments needs to die a harsh death. It's completely crazy that Americans accept being ordered around by halfwits barely qualified to work at the lowest rungs of Home Depot.

I'm not sure what level should be the lowest level of policiing but wherever that level is, it needs to be at a point where you're not handing that kind of power to borderline McDonald's shift managers.

Due to the BLM stuff and the general decline of society, the quality of policing is on a downward trajectory. Unfortunately, if you want good policing in the future, it's going to require a bribe. By "bribe" I mean that to attract the best applicants, cities and counties are going to have to pony-up on salaries. My agency is starting 21 year old recruits at $75K just to go to the academy. 5-year top-out without rank is 6-figures. We're still not getting applicants. My son wants to be like me and I'm afraid that he might want to eventually go into police work, but I'll try my best to discourage it. It's not the same job that it was when I started in the 90's.

Most will either be owned by the Fed or by the Cartels, with the few remaining good ones getting out. Regardless Police Policy will go easy on illegal immigrants because both the Fed and the Cartels want an open Border and the big bucks there in flowing to those at the Top/Down. It’s always follow the money now as honest folk are beat down. Money is power.

It is all about location. In some small towns and rural areas, law enforcement is treated well and respected. The pay is not as good as in large cities but the cost of living is not as high either.

The same number of people want to be officers. But now they are more careful about where they want to work.
Bossier Parish has lots of police applicants every year. It's a pro police environment and pro police city and parish govt.
Across the river Shreveport is hundreds of officers short and scrape the bottom of the barrel for applicants. The police station is physically falling apart from disrepair and half the city govt hates cops.

Federal police force is what the left wants. Thats why they’re pushing them to quit and retire.
