[QUOTE="Tezz500, post: 16426519, member: 78589"] My suggestion would be to raise the standards of LEOs.... Deliberately hiring people with Low IQs doesn’t seem to be working... [URL="https://www.globalresearch.ca/us-court-ruled-you-can-be-too-smart-to-be-a-cop/5420630"]US Court Ruling: You Can Be "Too Smart" to Be a Cop - Global Research[/URL] Can a person actually be “too smart” to be a cop in America? A federal court’s decision back in 2000 suggests that, yes, you actually can be. Robert Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, scored a 33 on an intelligence test he took as part of the application process to become a police officer in the town of New London, Connecticut. The score meant Jordan had an IQ of 125. The average score for police officers was a 21-22, or an IQ of 104. New London would only interview candidates who scored between 20 and 27. Jordan sued the city alleging discrimination, but the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York upheld that it wasn’t discrimination. “Why?” you might ask. Because New London Police Department applied the same standard to everyone who applied to be a cop there. And the theory behind it? “Those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training,” ABC News reported back then. While at least acknowledging the basic fact that such a policy might be “unwise,” the court deemed it had a “rational basis” because it was put in place to lower cop turnover. The police department went on to continue automatically disqualifying anyone whose IQ was “too high.” [/QUOTE]
