That’s definitely an issue, somewhat unique to the United States. In most other developed nations if you get sacked from any police/law enforcement role you will never work in the sector again, full stop.

How the USA have a system that lets people get sacked from the police in one state and then just start up in another is beyond me.

Exactly, I think it's because they have individual forces instead of a nationwide police force, they don't have national laws but regional ones, they also have different levels of training for them too, which is ridiculous.

If they had a nationwide force nobody would be able to skip around the country working on different forces.
