Your police training will include the topic of hate crimes, including those motivated by anti-Semitism (a term that refers to prejudice against members of the Jewish faith). Anti-Semitic acts violate a 1968 federal statute against hate crimes that made it illegal to "by force or by threat of force, injure, intimidate, or interfere with anyone…by reason of their race, color, religion, or national origin."

A recent study showed that 14% of recruits do not complete their police academy training. They have to abandon their dreams of a law enforcement career. Resolve not to be one of them—and follow up by using some practical tips to get ready.

How should online training be supported?
