​@Matthew-is1ih maybe yall needa stop shooting innocent people or invading their homes without a warrant just because you dont like their tone.👍

​@Matthew-is1ih wow so just knowing the constitution make you a lawyer 🙄

That’s the point. Criminals hate accountability. Why would they want to be cops if they know they will be held accountable for their bad behavior?

@Matthew-is1ih As if Google is a thing. Even if I didn't know the constitution my point still stands

That's the problem with the polygraph, it's a flawed system that could easily give false positives or could be cheated easily. They're not admissible in court. My department went away with it a while ago because they realized the flaws that came with it, I don't understand why departments still use it

@@Alfredo12O44Which department?

@@ghosts-dx6nw I'd rather not disclose, but it's a much smaller department. We have our own staffing issues because people mostly leave to bigger departments, and I can't really blame them knowing how little my department pays compared to the bigger ones

This needs AS MANY likes as possible. This is all too true unfortunately, I too have friends or known of individuals who applied and were denied for the weirdest of reasons, like OP these guys are as good as they come. Then we hear on the news that corrupt individuals who are actual gang members work within the LAPD and LASD. Can you guess the problem?

They don't want good, honest people.

@@Elkompamando weird thing is polygraphs aren't even admissible in court but the police departments rely on them heavily for recruits

Well reasoned, very logical and pragmatic analysis based on experience as it pertains to staffing. I work around a lot of 20-somethings. In my conversations with them the feedback I get is working as a policeman or firefighter is no longer viewed as an honorable profession. There is a social divide here. Members of the family have had negative interactions with police when they were young and that resentment carried into their adult lives. Most of them want to be professional video game streamers or social media influencers. Who can blame them? There's a lot of money to be made in that field if you can catch on. I fear police departments will lower their hiring standards and we will really have a front row seat at the circus.

​@@normp3273Facts

@@normp3273 How much lower can the standards be lowered? Most departments don't even have a physical fitness requirement and it takes more schooling to become a hairdresser than a police officer. The standards are higher to be a security guard than a cop, and they do the same job, often unarmed, for a third the pay rate.

@@APackOfHungryGhosts From what I have gathered with departments like the LAPD, these recruitment problems are largely the result of a decades-long vicious cycle, where the local DA's and court systems do far too little to punish criminals, which in turn not only worsens crime, but lowers the morale of the cops. The great power of the police unions play a huge factor here, thus why all these cops are able to receive far too few consequences for either being bad at their jobs or poor or even criminal behavior. Now you have worse crime and worse police officers. The various communities notice this, and they now distrust the police and don't like them. The politicians notice this, so they jump on the bandwagon to pander to their voting base and vilify the police departments, but they also don't want the ire of the police unions, so they often they will try to play both sides of the field. All this in turn makes fewer people want to be police officers and the good cops have less desire to keep working in the department. So now you have a giant mess of more crime and negative public attitudes towards the police, which in turn results in cops quitting and fewer recruits. To combat this, the police department has to lower its standards, which then results in worse police, which results in even more negative public attitudes towards the police. This is something LA has been fostering for decades now, which got really bad in the 90's with the Rodney King and following riots, and they haven't done anything to fix it since, all because the politicians there don't want to enact sensible laws regarding crime and keep the union's power in check.

Back in the 80s and 90s LAPD was the agency every other department looked to as an example. You guys took care of business back then. Today, not so much and clearly for many of those reasons you stated. The good news is that there are still many fine agencies that have not been undermined by weak leadership and failed Democrat ideas/policies. There are still cities that expect cops to put bad guys in jail. They are all too happy to hire some of the experienced laterals fleeing LA.

Just imagine how all the gangs in LA feel seeing this

​@@Axvinz The LA cop gangs?

You are very likely misinformed. There are almost no false positives, and anything that pops in the process of testing is requestioned, during g the test. Your brother is lying to you.

Facts! My father failed the polygraph twice and he told me that he was telling the truth! Something is very fishy 😂

They didn't want him because he was honest.

@@Evil_pinata this is a huge problem in police recruitment. Sooooo many good candidates are failed because some BS polygraph exam.

The polygraph is BS. They can’t use it in court so why do they use on potential cadets.

I have respect for the majority of officers of the law in America however it was probably more of a compliment than anything as unfortunately you literally have to possess a lower IQ to be an officer of the law in this country. The only reasons for that are quite damming. You probably did too well and possibly dodged a bullet, literally. I hope your doing good now and one day I hope your doing so good you look back with gratitude for choosing another path.

It's funny cause police departments are known to deny people who score too high on the written tests for being overqualified.

Denied because you didn't pass the psychology test I'm betting.

Maybe background

They only like criminals

Which instances of corruption do you believe are to blame?

4 million? Its more than double that and almost 10 million.

For a population of 3 822 000 people, they probably should have around 23 000 sworn officers.

Plus another 4 million illegal aliens….

True but they did some of that to themselves by not holding bad officers accountable.

They can't hire just anyone, otherwise this news segment wouldn't even exist since they wouldn't be short if they hire anyone. 😂😅
