I’ve worked in a larger department and I can say these guys look pretty well equipped to include their ginormous swat team members

Live Forever, Every American Police Officers of the United States For Those Who Are Still, Still "ALIVE", You All Must "LIVE"

[MisterDaviso]

Well crafted; terrible message. This targets people who seek authority and violence rather than people who want to protect and help their community. This appeals to the exact audience responsible for our nation's current distrust of police.

Like I said, perfect advertisement for your target audience; terrible advertisement for trying to recruit competent officers that benefit their community.

It should also show a guy sitting in an empty Walgreens parking lot at 330am watching Netflix.

Very nicely made recruiting video but more fiction than fact. People that join because they like what they see on this video will be sadly disappointed once they are on the job and see the realities of modern day policing. If you actually care about helping your community, have a thick skin, strong stomach for the amount of evil you will see/have to deal with then consider it. Those of you looking for a paycheck/secure job, do yourself a favor, save yourself a lot of time/effort and seek life elsewhere. I would recommend anyone thinking of pursuing a career in law enforcement first go on a few ride alongs with your local PD or Sheriff Dept if they offer it. Ask to go on day and night shift/cover different districts of your community of possible. It's one thing to see officers on dashcam videos and quite another to be there in person sitting alongside them in a police cruiser while they patrol/answer calls for service. You will see first hand the type of element they deal with day in and day out. If this is your calling then I wish you all the best of luck. Stay frosty out there!

What you put out there as recruitment will attract certain types ... if you like guns, army, flash bangs, drama and taking down baddies you'll get o e type ...take a look at new Zealand police adverts ...it's police jamming music in a lift, dancing together, doing fun exercises, running, yelling out stuff as they go .male and female together, helping people ..all in a humorous way ....I don't know how they got a tradition of whacky humour but I suspect Maori help....they even dress up for All Fools Day and Christmas

[stephenfricke]

Never in Law enforcement. I have been in hospital security, Risk management and worked as an investigator for a law firm .

God bless all law enforcement Agencies and their men, women and dogs who go through HELL to protect us

[TheMarionruth]

Yeah, this video definitely seems geared to attract people who primarily want to protect and serve their community. Right.

[willmartin]

330 Million people in the less than 900 thousand Police job is a LIFE CHOICE.. and not about making MONEY. I gave 25 I miss every single day I served. I have been retired for 6 months.. Im thinking of going back to work full time.

[ananamu]

Yeah nah gotta look at new Zealand police recruitment adverts ....we are attracting police with humour and people matter .. and they ate hilarious !

[MajesticOak]

New Dredd movie trailer looks pretty lit.

I like this video, but some elements that I saw disturbed me. The are at points 0:35, 1:26, 1:29, and 2:27.

Now take into account that I am a military veteran and I classify myself as a conservative before you start attacking my person and not my argument.

Why are we militarizing the police force? It seems to me that we are turning our civilian police forces into military soldiers, which is kind of like something the founders of this country complained about when they published the Declaration Of Independence. This is the issue of having military/combat trained soldiers patrolling/policing the people.

Sure you can argue that the threats faced by police officers is greater now than it ever has been before in the history of the United States, however the statistical evidence from the Bureau of Labor shows that police work isn't the most dangerous job in the country.

From 1970 to 1980: police deaths averaged 231 per year.
From 1980 to 1989: police deaths averaged 190.7 per year.
From 1990 to 1999: police deaths averaged 161.5 per year.
From 2000 to 2009: police deaths averaged 165 per year.
From 2013 to 2014: police deaths averaged 113 per year.

In 2018, police death's were at 148, which sounds high, but if you eliminate accidents, and other non-violence related deaths (like illnesses), then the number drops to 114.
(Please note that I kept the Automobile Crash fatalities included in the count because we don't know if they were chase-related or not. That count stands at 28.)
(On an even sadder note, more officers commit suicide than die by violence each year. We have to figure out why this is and help the officers with the stress I think this over aggressive war on drugs, crime, etc. puts on them.)

On the other side of the equation, from 2000 to 2014, the FBI reported an average of 390 justifiable homicides by police each year, with a very slight (but erratic) upward trend.
Fatal Encounters’ data from earlier years is admittedly incomplete, but they have so far collected more than 14, 000 records of people killed in interactions with police from January 2000 through June 2016. That's an average of 823.5 fatalities per year.

There needs to be a police force, that I agree. We need them to help keep the community safe and enforce law. Their job is to protect and serve the public. However, I don't think we should arm them like the military.

The purpose of the military, and having the advanced weapons, tactics, vehicles, etc. that the military does, is so they can go and KILL the enemy.
Again: KILL the enemy

Is the American public the enemy? I hope not.

Radley Balko, author of Rise of the Warrior Cop, did a fantastic interview on NPR's Fresh Air program.

[izdabombz]

This has more guns and armor than most Marine or Army recruiting videos. Are the recruiting peace officers or gun fighters?

[mlansfordhome]

This video demonstrates the militarization & SWAT-like persona of modern policing.. Also signifies the changed face of policing in the US and hence the resulting issues we have seen. Police did not used to act like this, folks! The "protect and serve" you see printed on the side of a police car is just that, white paint. Rise of the Warrior Cop--NPR

[JustAmerican]

Didn't see much regular public interaction and community policing in this, such as working accident scenes, assisting crime victims, search and rescue, etc. Are those not included among this department's scope of operations?

[DustDevilRage]

Brought up Alexandria LA on the map 3D view. Looks like a one horse town on the river. Far removed from the metro.

[lovehatepoetry]

This whole video made that police dpt look like its sole purpose was to kill people as if it were a military. The purpose to police is to protect and serve the community. This promo showed NONE of that.
