[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 16427423, member: 21786"] This is spot on and the short answer is quotas. I applied to the department that two of my buddies are at and we are all prior Marines with extensive training already that make us ideal for the job. I did the testing and scored a 99.86% combined physical and written tests and placed 8th out of 183 applicants that test day. I didn't even get called for the next stage in the process for the department and wasn't given a reason. A couple weeks later my buddies tell me they had hired on a couple women and some other guys with college degrees and who they said honestly looked soft. One of the girls never even made it on the force after training and the guys they said they hired have basically shown to be too weak and unfit for the job and that has been the hiring trend for their department lately and they are starting to look at transferring because they hate what it has become. Before, when they were hired on they said it was mostly prior military guys they were hiring on but they believe their chief was forced to start hiring people that they felt could relate and were better educated possible. But what ends up happening is that those types of people are not cut out for that type of work and just don't have the competence for as it just isn't in their nature. These are the types of people who accidentally shoot a suspect because they are scared out of their mind when they have to draw their weapon or are in a violent confrontation. They said at one point one of these officers wouldn't even jump in to back up their partner in a physical altercation because they were too scared to. Those people that they hire to meet quotas end up being a terrible fit for the job and end up making mistakes that get someone hurt or even killed. They need to go back to only hiring the best for the job. [/QUOTE]
