So amount to study is relatively small and you get a lot authority? That explains a lot...

Here in Finland the basic training alone takes over a year and full training takes 2.5 years. In top of this you must have previous level job training or you must have passed gymnasium both of which take 3 to 4 years to complete. Additionally male candidates have often already served atleast 6 months in military. 12 months if they were selected for NCO or officer training. Women can serve as volunteers if they like.

I think its a bit tougher job to become a cop in Finland.
