Police training vs marine training, which is tougher?

Well being a former Marine and now a Cop, I can say they both were very tough but in different ways.
Marine Corps boot camp was 13 weeks long and was physically demanding for the most part. It was rough to not be able to speak with your family other than by letter. Being demeaned and led to feel like you are 2 points below whale sh*t.
Academy training was very physically demanding as well. I didn't go to one of those academies where you show up during the day and go home at night. I had to stay there for 27 weeks. You would only get to go home on the weekend if you passed all of your tests. (I did fortunately). Sometimes you would get a few hours on a Wednesday night, but that was very rare. Physical training was very hard. I think a PT session at the academy was much harder than in boot camp. I was running longer distances in the academy.
All in all, I really can't say one was harder than the other because the pros and cons kind of evened out with eachother. But, maybe the academy was easier for me to deal with because I was already a Marine.

no disrespect to police officers but marine training. my brother is going though training right now and u would not believe how fit they must be. my brother thought he was in shape till he jioned the marines.

god bless the marines fighting now and all the troops.

USMC

not even close

Marines train to Kill,

Police train to restrain,

if you mix them it's a hell of a fight.

Your talking about two entirely different formats of training,
Your military training is intially set up to gear you twords
sweep search and destroy, I don't think the citizens of Kansas
or anywhere USA would want that influence in there city,

Law enforcement is about securing the Peace, Enforcing
the criminal code of the jurisdiction they are sworn members
in,. Your Marine training will give you a leg up in the phsicality
of the police training,, However your mental structure has to
be as strong as your back,, there in lies the rub,

Marine.

Marine training much harder!!! Strip you down as a man and rebuild you to be a hard charger protector of the Free Country.

I only have police training but I would have to say marine for sure.

Marian training

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that training for the Marine Corps is harder than the Police Force.

marine

marine training have you seen some of our police

Marines but most police will tell you there's is harder just because they want to look like big men.

Well, the Marines are some badass fighters, and there's no question that they'll be in every major battle. However, being a soldier, I'm partial to the Army. You could consider Ranger training and go to 75th Regiment. You could become an 18 series Special Forces soldier, or you could do what I did and become a 37F PSYOP soldier. We work behind enemy lines and often with SF, using words, propaganda, and other methods to persuade, change and influence. Both the Marines and Army can definitely offer you a chance to go into battle, and both are a good choice. The benefit of the Army is that it is the largest branch of the military, with more station choices, faster promotion, and often larger budgets. I knew a lot of former Marines who traded blue for green for those reasons. That said, I think saying "I'm a Marine" gets you more women...maybe:-)

I say Marines, hands down but its different now than if it had been 'back in the day'. Today's Marines (and military) are trained a lot different than they used to be. They are still the best of the best, but even my dad (Walking Dead) agrees that the times have changed.

Police Officers have very good training as well, but it is a different kind of training. They have to be trained and prepared to NOT hurt someone - The main goal being to serve and protect. They are trained in the safe way to apprehend in any situation, but also socially trained too.

I don't think the training is comparable.

Your question is too general. When you say tougher, I assume you mean the physical aspect. Some, well probably many, police agencies have pretty lax standards on their PT. South Carolina's Highway Patrol is one example of an academy that rivals the PT standards of Marine boot camp. You also have to realize that USMC boot is 13 weeks, law enforcement academies can run up to 30 weeks. To be honest though, you'll have to hope that someone that has gone through boot camp for the USMC as well as an LE academy responds, to get a good answer.

Police special operations is harder than normal marine training but normal police training is easier than marine training
