They get about 1200 to apply for 40 spots. The problem is keeping the good ones more than a few years when they know they won't get half pay in 20 years. Joining the police will be a competitor to enlisting in the military for a few years, not professional jobs for people with degrees in demand. Luckily most of the bachelors degrees people get, like English, Political science, Education, business, etc aren't in much demand. You are better off becoming a plumber or electrician at a vocational program during high school.
