Sounds like a plan considering how little work police really do, especially in smaller towns. They get so bored they pull you over just for fun. They get paid good money as well, look it up. You can find out how much each town pays their police workers. It's more than you think it is. :-D Especially if they have a 'degree', their initial pay rate goes way up. It's the new thing to do, get a 'degree' in like criminal justice or w/e then apply to become an officer. I'm sure this has changed recently, but I know there used to be an upper bound on how good you could do on the exam, due to the belief being too 'intelligent' (a metric as a result of your exam score), results in lower retention times. Intelligence became a liability of sorts.
