Per an AC, the department has 800 applicants in the hiring pool. We have the capacity to hire 100 officers a year, but due to the department’s standards, we will only hire 6-8 percent of that 800. That’s between 48 and 64 officers.

It seems to me, from very far away (granted), that this would lead to much discouragement.

Ralph,
It's HOPE that leads to CHANGE; not silly things like REALITY.
Silly Wabbit!

People I keep encountering are always taking about how we need higher standards (educationally and otherwise) for our police and other government positions.
Your blog may be the only one I hear that points out how infeasible those higher standards are in actual execution.
Thanks Raindog, love your voice of reason.
