Maybe this is a topic worth debate. Shouldn't we hold a position in which an individual puts their life on the line and also impacts the life of others to a high standard. They should have to carry themselves as professional representatives of the city/state/gov and not be as insulated as they currently are

Well, that is a good topic, even a "dullard" like me can see it.

For one thing you're going to have to require some college, 2 years at a minimum in Criminal justice or whatever. Then you're going to have to increase pay--significantly. And no one wants to pay for jack these days.

It's a really stressful hard job. It's not for everybody and the pool of candidates willing to go through all that for shitty pay is going to be small.
