How important a role does training play in the field of Criminal Justice? Do you think that it is something that could be cut when budgets get tight, without harmful results?PLEASE EXPLAIN WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE STATEMENT AND WHY? (A MININUM OF 125 WORDS)                                                         CLASSMATE’S POSTI would argue that training is vital in the field of criminal justice and anytime a cut to a budget is made training should be spared. I would argue that an agency that trains would reduce liability for an agency and in the long run could end up saving money in the budget because of the money spent on training creating a return on investment. The saving would come because of for instance, fewer lawsuits from officer misconduct and lower insurance costs saving numerous monetary payments and court costs.  This would be a direct result of a better trained staff who has more tools and can think more critically which reduces liability and costs to an agency.  I would also look at the other side from a criminal justice professional working in the field that training provides for safety skills that reduce line of duty injury or death. This also in turn could reduce costs as well because it could reduce overtime that is paid out or medical bills because of serious line of duty injuries.  If the training budget would to be cut and a person in the field would die in the line of duty, one could argue that the family of the person could have a valid claim for litigation if it was able to provide a link that proves that reduction or cuts in training led to the death in the line of duty.
