Great article! Thank you. Years ago, the Phoenix area departments were allowing candidates who “just had” misdemeanor drug warrants. Wow. Read the article I wrote on this called the Mudslide of Expectations...
Excellent analysis. Lowering hiring standards is not advice police agencies should follow to meet their recruiting needs. Odd — that the same DOJ that seeks to impose consent decrees on police departments across the country also encourages the lowering of hiring standards. Such advice seems to be a good way to boost the for profit consent decree monitoring trade, further federal oversight of local policing, and bolster future civil suits alleging poor police performance.
