Let's be fair now. There are plenty of inflated egos among the non-vets who go into law enforcement, many of whom are out of shape and get their beat partners in trouble because of their poor judgement. The truth of the matter is that the department takes about anyone who applies, has a clean background, and meets the minimum qualifications, just like the regular military does. It's not a job for elites or an elitist mindset unless you go join Viper, SWAT or the PIO (sarcasm).
