Question

officers learns in school ?

Answer 1

It depends on where the school is. For the state academy most laws are dealt with on a state statute level. For the local academies that municipal or county officers attend, they learn state statutes, and also local ordinances and county resolutions, like for trash dumping, traffic offenses that aren't state laws.
The Consitution on down is also taught, for example the 4th amendment is used as the guideline for search and seizure along with court decisions governing this activity by police.
Then you are tested over these areas and corrective action is sometimes taken if you aren't learning well enough, or you can be kicked out if you fail the tests.
Officers learn about, theft laws, murder, traffic laws, all the basic information before you go out and learn the real education on the street, where you try to apply what you've learned.

Answer 2

Police officers attend police academies of which teach the basic "rules and techniques" of police work.

The academy is broken down in several different areas to include the state laws, arrest procedures, self defense, firearms training and qualification, pursuit driving, physical fitness, first aid, ethics and professionalism, interview techniques, and a myriad of other requirements. The candidate is tested on a continuous basis to insure complainance with certification standards.

The duration of training varies from state to state but MOST academies require anywhere for 8 weeks to six months of training with normally a minimum of 280 hours of training.

Once the officer has completed his basic training he continues through a probation period for more "hands on" training with a Field Training Officer (FTO).

I've included a weblink below to give you an idea of what the law requires in the minimum standards.

Answer 3

Police learn about all laws, federal, state, local and motor vehicle laws while at the police academy. Police may not know every law by name but they have to recognize when a crime has been committed and the proper place to look up the exact charge.
