What do you guys think of the different

[Dr Grump]

law enforcement agencies in the country? I came from a country where there is one national police force. I now live in a country where each state has its own police force. That's it. There is also a federal police force, but they usually look after diplomatic type incidents as well as national security.

Always wondered why there are so many different law enforcement agencies. Seem like most states have city police, as well as state police and county sheriffs. What a mess. How about just one enforcement agency per state. I think it particularly worrisome that sheriffs are elected. Once elected do they have to do some sort of Police Academy training, or at least know the basics of law? Or do they have to have a law degree in order to qualify to be elected.

Genuinely interested. Find the whole set up bizarre.

It seemed to be working fairly well for many decades until the democrats politicized it under Obama and going forward. They turned it into white hates black racial propaganda crisis where there was no crisis. Everything became racial, and the leftist socialists and educators and media made it far worse. Until then, the cops were welcome in any black neighborhood to stop violence and murders. Now look at the summer of riots over one crime in Minneapolis. They legal authorities let BLM and Antifa do whatever they want. Look at New York City. When republican Giuliani was mayor the strict law and order made it the safest major city in the USA. Once the woke, idiot liberals took over major cities are rampant with crime and fear and hatred. And filth covers SanFran and LA streets. ----- So it is not the multiple law enforcements from state, county or city that is the real problem. It is the leftist ideology that has destroyed our civil societies.

There are nearly 3,000 elected sheriffs in The US.

Each state sets the qualification requirements to eligible to campaign to be a sheriff. In most states, the requirement to have experience as an LEO is mandatory.

However, the position of sheriff is largely administrative, just as is the position of Chief of Police in most US cities. Neither a sheriff nor a chief of police will be out arresting people or acting in the capacity of a line LEO. They will merely manage the people and the resources who do.

Sounds like a recipe for corruption. Spreading out power is a good thing.

It's cute that you think this refutes my point.

Dumbass...

Sorry for shitting on the floor, but that's about all I've got for people with a double-digit IQ.

The cute bit is you're so ignorant you can't see how it refutes your point.

And it's quite ok, I expect deplorables to shit on the floor.

I'm not a Trump supporter, but thanks for also exposing your partisan mental illness. "Anybody that criticizes me is a MAGA lunatic!"

Fuck off, retard.

You're an American exceptionalist blinded by parochialism. That's pretty much a deplorable.

My Grandparents lived in a small town where they had one sheriff and a couple of deputies for not only the town but the entire county. This meant law enforcement in emergencies was calling up local citizens; during the Oil Boom and the Depression it was the American Legion Post members for the most part, as well as other well known and trusted citizens. At one point during the oil boom Texas Rangers had to be called in as well. They rounded up hundreds of gamblers, pimps, con men, and thugs and chained them all together around a row of trees for a couple of weeks until they all got trials and sent to prison.

Depends on the state; here the County Sheriff covers rural areas with the same duties as any urban police officer, investigates crimes, drug dealing and labs, code enforcement, etc. It's a major office, and yes, it's elected, but the deputies and staff aren't.

Texas allows each County to set up its own law enforcement system; some have County Attorneys, others have both a County Attorney and a District Attorney, with separate duties and functions. A County Sheriff elected locally is a requirement, however, for all 250ish odd counties here.

They are limited and they become more limited almost by the day. In three days, they will be gone, dissolved into historic obscurity.

One of the first things the Nazis did was combine all the various police forces in the German states into a national police force....Even firemen were bundled in.

You mean there isn't corruption already? I'd go so far as to say it is the other way around. With difference agencies fighting over jurisdiction, there is ample room for corruption.
