Im 53, a Army veteran- 30mo at Fort Lee VA as a 95B 🚔. Im from Charlottesville VA. In the early 1990s, I spoke to a Richmond VA patrol officer 👮🏽♂️ who said it took him 5yr to get into the PD. 5! US law enforcement agencies made recruiting extremely hard for years. Now these same state, local PDs gripe. 😢
In 1997 I was a rookie cop with a uniformed federal agency in DC. Went to gym in Fairfax,Va with a VA trooper. I was shocked when he told me job did NOT pay holiday pay and salary wasn’t that great. A few months later he joined Fairfax PD and much happier. I have no idea if the pay and benefits have improved
1. Pay 'em more 2. Let troopers smoke weed on their own time, same as alcohol. 3. Don't criminalize police for doing their jobs. Thats how u get more recruits, very easy.
Unlike alcohol... THC stays in your system days after it is consumed... So not the same thing as alcohol! * Plenty of places allowed THC to get hired... But, if you have an accident at work and any outside chemicals had an effect on your mental capacity to make clear decisions is found with your drug test within 24 hours=fired.
I wanted to work for them many years ago, but they wouldn't let me smoke cigarettes and have my beard😂 if you want good police/state officers they gonna have to change up their communist appearance and or throw them out. And before anyone says I can't even do that job, I'm a veteran so I was more than qualified lol. I just didn't want to be treated like I was in marines based on haircuts and facial hair.😂
I wish I was as optimistic and emotionally well as these Recruits appear to be. The last few years startijg in 2021 I have become more and more bitter due to this situation that had been going in for years. Biggest mistake of my life was coming back to Newburgh NY in 2021. Shoukd have continued south or out west but it is what it is best of luck to these Virginia State Police Recruits.

Thats what happens when you treat police like trash
Because it's a blue state
Yes..Sad...too many foriegn people in this state..VOTEING demokkkrat...that's one reason why I'm leaving..eventually...
I was going to apply about 20 years ago until i found out i was making more $$$/yr working at Home Depot!
This is a pretty simple problem. Raise incentives for people to WANT to join... like maybe more pay and benefits.

What they need is people with more brains in their heads than your average ping pong ball !! 🥴
Most people won’t lower themselves to there level
Corruption is too deep!
What are you talking about?
Poor training 🎉
No surprise, given the fact that their salary is barely more than an Amazon employee.
Hopefully the Republican governor and the republican LT governor stay elected because who wants to work for democrats who hates Law Enforcement.
Clearly you’re not from VA if you say that lol
Georgia State police is better. Go Dawgs
DEI leadership.
I wonder why? 😂😂

@@Free-our-freedombecause weed is still a federal criminal offense.. that wouldn’t make sense to hire someone violating federal law.
I hope she don't like running the train😅😅😅

I’m predicting that Burch will be a PIO in a few years. 😎

UVA police 🚔 and later Charlottesville VA PD did that too. I smoke cigars 😉. I'm 53 now. Army MP 95B veteran: 4yr.
Fairfax PD, was no smokers on or off duty... But, apparently... Have no problem with many officers being over weight?! 🤦
Hell naw am I trading my Californian freedom for some Scottish eastern state trooper job!!! Make more money over in Cali!!!!
Good.
Propaganda video
What do they need all the strength training for when they become a police officer they won't do nothing but right around
You need to attend an English written composition class.
Have fun when our entire generation is in debt
Where have you been??? Everyone has been in debt for the last 30+ years! 🤦
