I train Jiu Jitsu. There are a police at the academy I go to. They all agree more training would help, but Jiu Jitsu is significant time and $ commitment. It can also be very humbling (which some guys won't like). It would be great if more police did, but it needs to be required by the department and funded or I don't think it will happen. The little training they do get does not compare in quality/quantity to what we get. Hopefully this gets figured out.
