That’s pretty impressive… I think it’d be really cool, but a little scary… for me that would definately be a hard thing!! Like, REALLY hard. Those kids have got guts.

I can’t imagine any 16 year olds I know being policemen!

Really interesting to think about. I have mixed feelings about it also. Yes they may be very well qualified, but are they emotionally qualified. Myself being a sixteen year year old, I doubt that I could have the emotional maturity to deal with some of the stuff police have to deal with. Corrie Ten Boom has a great story about when she was younger and she wanted to know about a certain issue. Her father merely took her on a train trip. When it was time to get off he told her to carry the bag, which was much to heavy for her. When she couldn’t lift it he told her that knowledge can be like that, to heavy for certain ages. I’m not sure that 16 is such a great age to be carrying great baggage such as the crimes that are committed.

Still something to think about.

I think I agree with jubilee. I mean, this guys are humans, and humans make mistakes.
and, we all need every once in a while for someone to give us a kick in the pants. we need mentors, God commands us to. But in the long run. GOOD FOR THEM!

Brett & Alex. thanks for what you guys do.

I have to say that I’m on the side of the police department! After reading Do Hard Things, I think that teens can rise to meet just about any challenge. Age doesn’t have to be a limiting factor (although in some things it does).

Thanks abby!
That was what i was going to say,
I would be a little hesitant because of some teens today, but if they are responsible enough i would let them.
As “teens” didn’t exist back when(as Alex and Brett refer to in their book), 16 sounds like an age that would be doing this back in the early 1900’s
