Here's a problem with the makeup of the police department, KG -- there are minimum requirements for service, one of which, on most departments, is at least 2 years of college, and being able to pass the entrance exam. There needs to be a desire on the part of the applicant to be a police officer, he/she has to be free from criminal record, most departments require a drug screen, and the education. MOST black young men and women who so qualify can get jobs that pay more than an entry level police officer.
