Cops are literally selected for a lack of intellect. Being too smart can disqualify you from police service under some police chiefs/sheriffs.

Oddly enough, we select what a cop does based on capability. If you need UC and co-int for for fed-level stuff, Lem and Eddie are gonna get killed.

Low-performers typically wash out to metro :-p

What are UC and co-int?

That is an urban myth. There was one case in one police force and a judge ruled it was OK to select against applicants who scored too well on an internal test.

Jordan v. City of New London
