they say the same thing about the RCMP and they will take a 19Yo with no post secondary education. So while they may be a 'public' line on qualifications in reality, the job is so soiled in RL that they can only hire these types of yahoo's because very few "Good" candidates are even applying.
You can have all the wondering qualification requirements in the world but if you only get 100 applications and you need to fill 400 positions all of a sudden your standards get lowered, like it or not.
Police hiring is a mystery it seems, even for those who've been through it. Yes, you get one guys hired with some kind of law enforcement experience and two degrees, and another hired who is 19 and maybe had a part time job. Makes you scratch your head.
As far a 400 position and 100 hundred applying, while I'm sure you were purposely exaggerating it is nowhere near that bad, but agreeably less apply than they used to. The RCMPs big hiring frenzy from 2007 - early 2010 did take a lot of people in who would not have come close to getting in years before that, or even today.
