The important parts:
trulyfe, although by my standards the "normal, average" person doesn't make C-D averages in HS. regardless, why isn't atleast a bachelors degree required?

They do give courses in Law enforcement, criminology, and homeland security at most colleges, but the people that major in those subjects don't apply for patrolman or traffic cop. They mostly go to work in crime labs, state offices, and or use the degree as leverage to apply for law school.

At the least the credentials for applying to be a patrolman

• Two-year degree from an accredited university
• maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher during those two-years
• 1-year observational externship at a local jail as a C/O
• completely free of misdemeanors and felonies including juvenile record
• Ability to pass yearly classes involving race relations, ethics, and law
• strenuous psychological testing by THREE third-party sources
• Bi-monthly board reviews with 100% transparency

Upon hiring you must sign a contract for weekly urine screens testing for alcohol and drugs.

Another thing they should do is take away, take-home squad cars and those other bullshit benefits at the cost of taxpayers. City vehicles are city property not the officers personal 7-11 munchies cruiser, so they may only use the squad-car while on duty.
