Well my college degree basically got me a job at EBRSO.
Even a mid-size metro like BR has better, on average, officers than even it's neighboring parishes. NYPD, LAPD, etc are all miles ahead of rural LA parishes. The issue is that they have the same amount of authority in their jurisdiction. So you get former military and/or college educated officer from a major department having the same authority and facing the same high pressure situations as the guy with a 2.0 from a crappy LA public high school.

What quality will you get for $28,000 a year salary?

This thread reminded me of a thread posted about ex-state police Supt. Mike Edmonson
Former State Police Cleared of Wrondoing
Its crazy how they just let this jackass go after benefiting from a state position

Well you aren't going to land brain surgeons by paying $30K/yr. This isn't complicated.
With your level of hard-hitting analysis on this, you may actually be more similar to that which you despise.

What department turned you down??

Are you a fricking moron? Not all police departments are equal. When you are talking about smaller cities or towns, they take whoever they can get.
Its harder to make the NYPD than it is the Sorento PD..

Additionally we have chicken littles that sit in towns like Vidalia or Talliulah and write tickets for going 36 in a 35.
The two towns combined have a population of 10k people.
So, you're saying we should have detective level sheriffs deputy's to enforce traffic violations.
Take a lap dipshite.

Why would someone with an above average IQ and marketable skills want to be a police officer?
Sure, there are some out there but not enough to fill the needs of the country.

Exactly. It takes someone with a lower than average IQ to even ask this question.

Not automatically but there is a significant correlation between IQ and education level.

Cops are like soldiers. When you can't do anything else n life those are the only options left.

And a question from the psyche test, "Would you rather go to a party or give a party?"

Smart people have zero interest in becoming cops.

People smart enough to meet that criteria are also smart enough to A: qualify for other more high paying jobs and B. are smart enough to realize that job blows and is not worth the pay or the headache.

There's not a single poster in this thread more intelligent than the average cop more than likely.

There are always a few outliers, but in general if someone was able to complete a college degree they had average or better intelligence along with enough drive, and dedication to complete a long term goal that requires many hours of often less than interesting work. While not a perfect measure, the easiest way for a employer to limit applicants to those who are reasonably intelligent and likely trainable is to require a college degree.

If TD.com had one, we wouldn't have theads like this every few months.
