It seems like an inefficient setup

Up to six months... Yikes.
In the software engineer industry, if you spent a year in a coding bootcamp, I still wouldn't trust you to know what you're doing.
There are police academics?
There should be films about them to publicise their existence.
SIX MONTHS? what's this, theoretical physics? just give them a gun and tell them to go about their way.
hell, most of the training in police academy is probably done with pantone color charts teaching the exact skin tone where murder becomes acceptable.
Ehhhh..... That's misleading.
In many places to be eligible for the academy you'd have to have an associates or bachelors degree.
But again, location dependant.
Just two years of prior "responsible work experience" required here in Maryland.
But a degree in what because if it's a degree in literature that's useless. I suspect no cop has a degree in literature
Usually called a criminal justice degree, includes basic law classes, administration, stuff like that. Offered in a lot of county colleges where it's required.
Not that it results in a better cop at all imo, just saying the timeframe of a max of 6 months throughout the US is really misleading.
