Little facts on what it takes to be a deputy in a rural setting..Here are a couple..The Sheriff/Police chief can hire whom ever they want as long as they qualify,then train them on the job and they have 6 months before they have to go to POST.
The Sheriff/Police chief can hire out of his reserve unit also.These are usually locals with minimal training and they also have to go to POST within 6 months after there designated for that position.My wife started as a Valley county sheriffs reserve officer under John Lions.The last police chief in McCall that was a women was hired out of the reserve unit as well as the sergeant and others.
This is going down just as it started with just one witness speaking out,now there are more with the same basic story.This should have never happened with cops and a chip on there shoulder not bending for anything or anyone...There way or the hiway..Boom Boom.Sick/Sick/Sick
i was a reserve too, and probably because everybody knew me from the first day i was carrying a gun. The first weekend i was backing up a city cop on a man with a gun call. I was NOT allowed to be by myself till i got what you called post certification. The first weekend after i got a robbery in progress call. We had a huge difference in experience. Some of the guys had retired off phoenix p.d. and other agencies then moved up north to semiretire. They were mostly my trainers. Then there were the barney fifes, they usually didn't last long.
