I am coming to the opinion that becoming a Police Officer may very well be one of the best trade school decision some can make... rather than becoming a plumber or an electrician or an auto mechanic, you might want to look at this... with the political issues today, soon current LE will be dropping like flies for other work... when these defund the police cities finally come to their senses they will need to more than double the funding to just cover the salary component needed to reestablish the force... give it thought...

Once the push for individual liability goes away...maybe.
Perhaps, yet today when the only people police can enforce the law against are their supporters, and governors put all the criminals back on the street, who would want to.
No. Just.... No.
They will do just fine. It's not a job you do for the money. If you need to know why they do it, it's not for you.

Crematorium assistant. That career field is about to be on fire!
There so many reason to not become a police officer today, I can't fathom any wanting to go into the profession. That job is closely become something akin to a prison guard.
I love those who are still in the pits fighting for us today, but for someone to select this profession this day or in the future, isn't something I'd recommend.

A lot of our guys are taking the hit financially and retiring early, and our academy is shut down. The retirement plan has been bumped down twice for new hires in the last few years. Undoubtedly this will happen again. We never really recovered from the financial crisis when a large number of people jumped ship. Our academy was just keeping pace with retirements since that time. Now we’re screwed. So much has changed in my career, not just the stuff I listed above.
On the other hand, we do need people very bad, and I’m pretty sure that’s true all over.
Probably better to go be a hose dragger though.

When the "police force" assigned to protect those "in charge" decide to walk off the job MAYBE...JUST MAYBE....things will change in the minds of politicians.
Guys ....get together and just walk off the job for a week.

That wouldn't have that much of an impact. Remember, they can afford or will legislate a private security force, if their police department didn't do the job.
Carrying a gun everyday and speeding on the highway , its a no brainer unless you have a huge plumber's crack.
Truth from Long ago,
That guy was a Chicago cop,...how do you know,...he's driving a Jag,...

Demand may go up but a big factor is how easy it is to enter the profession. It's fairly easy to become a police officer (compared to other more education/trade school intensive jobs), so I believe the financial aspect will remain the same. And that's not to mention the government control of salaries.
If you can tolerate California - work here and retire elsewhere with a nice pension.

Those thinking 'who would want to join today' should consider that lots of people said the same about the U.S. Military in the late 1970's. Hollow force. Terrible drug problems. Awful standards of troops. But those who were motivated, committed, intelligent, willing and able were the absolute core of building the military into what it was by the late 1980's and into today...
In times of strife and difficulty, there are great opportunities for the motivated. The Ziggurat is easier to navigate for your 'generation' of officers (or soldiers/sailors, etc.). And you have a better opportunity to both shine and make a difference.
It's a good time to get in, too, while there are still people who have been around long enough to learn from.

I enlisted during the Carter years. Nothing was too good for the military.... and that's what we got.
Talk about a 180 when Regean took office.
Yeah, and for the life of me, I could never figure that out with that guy.... And he was a USNA graduate... and a personal selection right out of the Academy by Hyman Rickover to be part of the nuclear team on Sub development... have always scratched my head over what went wrong in his head...
