Just needed a place to vent and get some feedback.

A thing that I noticed in my law enforcement career is that the administrators always seem to work off a inbred system. About 3 years ago I changed agencies in hopes of getting into a better environment. Once everything started rolling I noticed that the administrators were still inbred. No one was wanting to impliment new ideas of doing things. "So and so did it like this and it still works so why change it?"

I switched back to my original agency because of educational perks however, I was still able to pull great information from the other agency that I had just left. While speaking to the senior officer who also is the training officer I mentioned several ideas that seemed ideal to put forth.

1.) More frequent officer training...currently 20 hours a year..state minimum

2.) Ammunition and range practice...currently qualification only...no combat shooting or senario based shooting.

The response that I received was, "You sure do have high hopes...they aren't going to go for that."

This officer basically shot down my whole spill....he went on to say how he had worked at this agency for 12 years and he knew what was going to fly and wasn't going to fly...basically, he has become inbred with the rest.

I even opted to set up an account for everyone to give $25 dollars a week and
when the money was sufficent, order everyone 500 rounds to practice with....got shot down.

Anyone else work in a inbred enviroment?
