    FWPD recruiting video is a different take



    I don't know if it will be effective, and I'm sure it'll piss off some traditionalists...but it's an interesting take. I have to admit the balloons on the horses and the officer at the end (I won't spoil it) made me think FWPD has a sense of humor anyway.
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    Not sure whether to laugh or be embarrassed...or both.

    I hope they get some good folks out of it.
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    The FWPD Darth Vader recruitment videos are also worth viewing, one in particular for firearms instructors and other gun guys/gals.

    Are you loyal to the constitution or the “institution”?

    What do you want to do? Tell them the truth? LE needs to be like early 1980s recruiters. "Sure, kid, you can be a Green Beret...just sign right here."

    Ha, yep.
    The local Shire Reeve thought it would be cute to promise a recruit class that they would be out of the jail and on the street when they finished their probationary year.
    Uh, no.
    Welcome to 3 years in here, kid.
    To no one's amazement and everyone's amusement it backfired, bigly.
    That was the last 40+ recruit class ever( they had been graduating 2 of those per year and still struggling), and most of that class either left for another agency, or left LE completely. He's been dribbling out 15-20 recruits a year since.
    I guess he never heard of the interwebs.
