Reply to comment by [deleted] in D.C.’s police department is recruiting in Philly, offering a $20k hiring bonus. The Philadelphia Police Department isn’t worried. by redeyeblink

Philly used to require an associates degree but eliminated that to be able to hire from within the community better. So pick one. Hire more qualified candidates or include members of the community who can’t meet that standard for whatever reason.

That’s exactly the problem. Not enough people want to be police officers in crime ridden cities without an associates degree. If you make that a requirement the recruitment pool withers significantly.
