美国执法机构面临招募新人困难问题 The first day of training is also known “Black Monday,” 新人训练的第一天也被称作“黑色星期一”。 Our way of greeting them into the academy.” “这是他们欢迎新人的方式。 This profession is not for everyone. I actually threw up on Black Monday, just from nerves alone.” “这一行可不是每个人都能干的。黑色星期一那天我仅仅因为紧张就吐了。” 22 years old Christian Davis says 3 people in his class quit on Black Monday. 22岁的克里斯蒂安·戴维斯表示他班上的3个人在黑色星期一当天就卷铺盖回家了。 It's your day one,recruit. 菜鸟警察们,这才是你们的第一天。 The real-world stresses these days are heightened by a feeling of fear and distrust in some communities after controversial police shootings lead to nationwide protests. 饱受争议性警官开枪事件引发的全国抗议进一步加剧了现在一些社区对警官的恐惧和不信任。 “This is a tough time for the law enforcement profession's image,and I think some people are shying away from the profession because they do not want to be subjected to the scrutiny, the abuse. “如今执法部门的形象正受到考验。而且我想一些人不愿加入进来是因为他们不希望受人监管,在各种声音环境下执法。” This type of sentiment adds to the already difficult job of finding qualified candidates. 这样的情况使得招收胜任这份工作的人非常困难。 “We are looking for somebody who is physically fit, obviously, but we want somebody who can speak well, represent the department, be smart enough to have some common sense in very difficult situations.” “我们希望寻找身体强健。而且也要会说话,能完全代表警局,足够机敏,在困难局势中头脑保持冷静的人。” Despite the challenges, some like Christian Davis still apply and graduate. 尽管面对的是这样的难关,但克里斯蒂安·戴维斯这样的人还是突破重重考验顺利毕业。 “Ultimately, you have to have the heart to do it. It just comes from the will to help serve and make the world a better place.” “最终,你还必须全心全意去做这件事。希望为民服务,希望世界变得更好。” “In no other profession will you be held, and appropriately so, to so much accountability. You have seen that for yourself in the news over the past year. While many professions get easier over time, law enforcement seems to get more challenging by the day.” “没有任何一种行业会像警察职业这样被严厉问责,这也是应该的。在过去一年里相信你们已从各大新闻媒体的口中了解到现在警官行业所面临的状况。随着时间的推移很多职业会更为轻松,但执法部门面临的挑战似乎与日俱增。”
Officers say earning the public's trust requires both mental toughness and compassion,and they carry out their work with humility. 警官们表示取得公众的信任需要坚韧不拔的精神及同情心。而且他们需要谦虚谨慎进行执法。 |
