Aye one of the big problems with policing in the states is how fragmented it is, there's no central body setting training standards etc it's left up to individual towns and counties to set standards and budgets so you end up with vastly different standards of policing across relatively small geographic areas depending on local politics etc.
The difference in standards between federal forces and local police is huge, if they could just get all local officers up to the standard of the feds we wouldn't see half the issues with policing in the states IMO
