Low application / hiring standards for Detroit Police, will lead to problems after hiring...!!!It happened in the past...1976....1985...when Detroit did mass hirings...
These low standards showed be raised for the new Detroit Police department...
including:
minimum educational level of 2 years of college / degree or equal of military service....
no drinking driving license violations...or other serious driving violations..
no misdemeanor (serious) arrests / convictions.
Raising hiring requirements means having a better police officer - longer and with less discipline problems...
The benefit package is not up to date...may confuse applicants and lead to lawsuits if a person is hired...
Detroit Police need to hire: 500 - 1,000 new police officers,now - but can't do it without state and federal grant money, that the US Congress is resisting, givnig any federal money to Detroit.
Federal Judge Julian Cook, in charge of the DOJ Consent Decrees, should take forceful action: ordering Detroit to raise hiring standards and the Federal Government to fund the new hires, with higher standards. This action will not make up for his inactions and general lackadasical oversight, but it would be a very step in the right direction of providing quality police protection for Detroit residents, visitors and the officers themselves.
