I was very surprised to hear a cop in the US only gets 3-6 months of training.

Here in the Netherlands _basic_ education is 3 years; and then you have another few years to specialize into a specific topic (abuse, fraud, forensics, narcotics..).

Yup, same here in Finland. You get an undergrad degree when going to the police academy.
