I would like to refer to the comment made about the amount of training received by Police Observers. The course I completed was 5 weeks, this after completing over tens years of police service. I think I may be correct in saying that if not all Police ASU only recruit from officers who have been HIGHLY recommended by senior officers, and completed their probationary period of 2 YRS.
How's that for training
Remember without observers there would be no need for pilots!!!
