It usually takes about 13 to 19 weeks on average but can last up to six months. https://golawenforcement.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-to-become-a-police-officer/ Up to six months… Yikes. In the software engineer industry, if you spent a year in a coding bootcamp, I still wouldn’t trust you to know what you’re doing.
