12666606, i think the prospect of labor shortages makes that unfeasible for most juris... Posted by Jay Doz, Wed Dec-03-14 11:44 PM
i'm of the mindset that increased compensation is a better way to increase the quality of candidates--when you pay a cop $39K (in Atlanta, at least), you're not going to end up with the cream of the crop. over here, we're having enough trouble filling the open positions that we have. i agree that increasing the barrier to entry makes for better police, but there's no benefit if you can't actually get those positions filled.
