Factors That Contribute To Success In Policing Based On Prior Military Experience

<p>This research attempted to determine whether current law enforcement officers with military experience felt that they were more prepared for their jobs in the agency than officers without military experience. Law enforcement officers from two police departments were selected to take a survey based on their military backgrounds. This survey was completed and the results were reviewed. </p> <p>It was concluded that law enforcement officers with military experience felt that they were more prepared for the job and had an edge over other officers with no background in the military. In addition, officers with combat experience also felt that they had an edge over other officers and viewed their jobs as life vs. death as a result of these experiences. </p>
