There’s more to it than even that. You have to make law enforcement an attractive career to get people who are well adjusted and empathetic to consider it. I don’t know what all that entails, but more work needs to be done to figure that out. You also need people in the profession that are capable of absorbing education. For the most part, I don’t think that is the case as it stands today. There’s so many cultural factors about policing as well. It’s really naive to think more education is the answer. There’s so much more to it than that.
