Police officers are frequently described as "Highly Trained", but that couldn't be further from the truth. Police are often expected to handle extremely confusing, difficult, and dangerous situations with little or no training. The true miracle is that the police manage to get it right a vast majority of the time.

In this episode of Blue Canary we are going to take a look at police training. How much they get, and why even that is not enough. We will also discuss the problems agencies have the providing the necessary training to their officers and how they might be able to overcome these training deficiencies.
