In recent conversations it has been increasingly frustrating for many in PD having to listen to literal children act like they know what they are doing and have the ability to boss people around.
While this may be a rp server and a video game it is by no means designed for little children or meant to appear to that target audience, with a bulk of the server in their 20s-30s.
Being a police officer is a high stress job as shown in this peer reviewed scientific article.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6400077/
Stress is mostly managed by the development of the frontal lobal (prefrontal cortex). (See image 1)
This image shows that this functioning of the brain for stress, reasoning, and many factors that play into being a police officer come from this portion of the brain.
Image 2 is a snippet of a scientific journal explaining the brain development specifically about the frontal lobe in teenagers.
This snippet describes how teenagers may be able to cope with stress in calm situations, but in fast paced situations and high stress environments they react much more poorly.
My suggestion is to demote all those under the age of 18 in PD command to senior officer and limit all supervisor roles to those above the age of 18. While this is still not an ideal age, this age marks legal adulthood.
I also think we should strongly enforce the no one below the age of 16 in PD and actively discharge all those under that age.
Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.
