He doesn;t respect thema as police just because they are young. Who knows? They could be more mature than him. The officer does not give the teens a lot of credit.

I think it's a good idea. I think that the teens will have a different influence on the public and the people their age. I think it’s a good idea.

However we question the ability of these two sixteen year-olds because of their age. Perhaps some of the above just havent been able to anything as hard as this and feel a bit behind?

Living in London, I see silly, immature, even effiminate police-men in their thirties every day. The age makes no difference, its about enforcement, duty, and taking a hard line against crime. Its encouraging to see that not all London teens are loud, brash, obnoxious, and outwardly unintelligent lay-abouts who lounge around all day. Let the boys go in and do their job!

As long as they are uncorrupted and incorruptable, it is fine. Although from the States I have lived in London 5 years and have seen up front the crime. I have also seen the inadequacies of the police force (especially Community Support teams). They can be so wimpish and unconcerned for the good of the people they are supposed to help. To be honest I dont think these two 16 year-olds will do any worse a job than is already being done - in fact they will probably do times better.

I am in the Explorers Program. for those who don't know what that is it is a program for teens 13 and up who pretty much learn how to be a Police officer. We get to learn how to wright police reports and how to search cars and shoot guns and we also Get to Go on ride along's with the police officers during their patrols and we do so much more. I think that teens at those ages can handle it. I think that it is possible and i don’t think that they are to young.

But in this day and age, it is just hard to believe that many teens would be capable of that much responsibility, in that serious of a situation. Seventy-five years ago, and I wouldn't have hesitated at bit at saying "have at it! Great job!", but the other side of me is saying that in these times, with the world as corrupt as it is, 16 just seems too young. But then again, I don't personally know them, so they could be perfectly ready! If they are ready, then this will more than help them mature and step up to bat, but if they aren't, unless they decide to take all the responsibility (and more) that they are given, it wouldn't be a good idea. All that to say "It depends." Well, I really think it depends…In response to Kirsten B., I do agree: if they are willing and able, good for them!
