Louisville police officer arrested after incident at Molly Malone's

So very true, but we as an agency shouldn't limit ourselves to just college educated people. We are passing up so many great canidates who lack 60 credit hours. College is not for everyone. I went for 2 years and got nothing out of it other than hate for all the liberal professors who try to push their views on you. There is no reason for LMPD to require college. This job is all common sense and college does not teach that. Either you have it or you dont. Eventually we are all going to have to come together at some point and unit and find some common ground. If we dont this place will never be a great place work. I can remember a day when guys at JTOWN, St. Matthews, Shivley, Oldham Co, Shelbyville, Lagrange and so on would kill to get hired by JCPD and LPD. Now it is the exact opposite those guys dont want anything to do with us and our guys are leaving LMPD faster than we can restock going to these other agencies who buy the are great departments who all pay pretty well. We all need to come together and make this a great department that it has the potential to be.

I can't imagine working as a cop as a first job. Doesn't mean it had to have been a full time job, but you do learn a little about how to work with other people, etc. even if all you did was work at Wal-Mart. I learned nothing in college about how to do that.
