I have played several games in my Steam library for more hours than it takes to become a police officer.

Compare that to the federal standard 3-5 years of University-like education with loads of theory and practice parts they need in my country to be a basic police(wo)man. Topics like deescalation techniques, basic communication in several languages, and psychological training are integral parts of the curriculum. And much more important than knowing how to shoot or beat up someone.
Which country is that?
Germany.
Nice! I'll be visiting there next month.
For anyone wondering that's going to be around 5700 hours of studying/training/lecture.
This indeed produces a different breed of police(wo)men. And that is just the basic policing education.
