Since there are other PPs here, can you please weigh in on the other professions' self-regulation you are bring up. Doctors, for example, have licenses that are tracked from state to state with double-checks to ensure you can't just move to practice in a new area. If you try to get licensed in a new state, everything, even just patient complaints that were deemed without merit, follows you.

Are you all in support of a law enforcement licensure that is tracked across your entire career, which is used to evaluate fitness for duty of all LEOs before being hired somewhere new?[/quote]

Bringing this back up, as it got lost a few pages back. I don't believe I've seen an answer yet.[/quote]

It would not solve all of the problems but it would weed out several bad apples. [/quote]

Police are certified by the state.  How is that different than licensure?

[b]In Maryland at least, Doctors are policed by other doctors -- the Maryland Board of Physicians.  Made up of.....doctors.   All the health boards are.

As I posted above, Major Cities Chiefs and IACP want a national database of sustained charges against police officers.   That would go a long way to help get rid of bad actors.  It's already coming out that these five Memphis officers, none of whom have more than 5 years on the department, have dirt in their past.  [/quote]

Right. And when you apply to one state board, they check with all the other state boards where you have been licensed. Apparently  certification is "different than licensure" because apparently that doesn't happen for cops. Right? [/quote]

Bad cops getting jobs after dismissal for conduct is called ‘the officer shuffle’. It’s a very real thing. [/quote]
