- MerelyMortal 3y agoSpeak only for yourself. If it paid more than what I am doing now, I would take the job. If you attract better people with higher pay, you can choose better people.
- orwin 3y agoIn my country, the entry-level pay is above the median salary, and according to a recently retired police chief, new hires are dumber and dumber. They used to demand a score of 11 (14 to be officer) in the early 90s, they simplified the exam, and still hire people who score lower than 8 nowadays. He saw a new hire flashball his own foot. I don't think it's pay related.
- black6 3y agoIf policing paid more then yes, it would attract higher quality applicants. But it's terrible pay for a terrible job, so it's the last resort for those who aren't sociopaths.
