Makes since . Good employers check with former employers before hiring someone along with background checks and drug testing . Yes a good cop may get a bad report because superiors just don't like them but it's that way in every profession . How many times have we seen teachers move from one school to the other several times before they get caught abusing kids and later find out they left to keep from being fired . Several cases have been documented where rouge medical personnel changed jobs to keep from being fired and were not vetted.

I will agree that politics and personal differences may be a factor in some of the cases but unless I read it incorrectly all an they have to do is pass a background check and drug test and submit to the board to be resertified. Of course the former department can give a bad review as can any formal employer at any job . At least here there is a board to review it where as in the civilian world if the HR person sees a bad reference they toss the app in the NO file and move on to the next .They check with former employees quite often but this is crazy $hit.
I believe too that a Department gets screwed when they pay for an employee to go through the Academy (about $2500) to get POST Certified then when they graduate the Officer shops around to other Dept for a higher paying job. Unless they have the Officer sign a contract and hold them to it, the Dept loses.
I do not think the contract would be legally binding. I know where that was tried years ago and it did not work. I know of a recent case where one went through the Academy for a small LEA and was hired shortly after by a large LEA.
One other thing, do you know what the requirements are to become a cop? ONLY 19 states require some sort of "law" degree. The other 31 states only require a high school diploma, GED or equivalency test. Most of these cops don't even know the laws they are supposed to be enforcing and in fact make **** up!
