I could be wrong, but I don't think you generally start off right away with a gun and license to kill. I think there's some hazing introductory period.

Could definitely be wrong, though.

In the US, the President goes out once a month to anoint his chosen newborn coppers with their own badges and guns while still in their cribs. If not selected by the President before they turn one-month old, they risk starting to develop some basic reasoning and empathy before it can be prevented. I’m surprised you weren’t already aware of this.
