[quote:anonymous coward 13824682:MV8yNjAyNTAzXzQ1NDcxMjAxXzNGMzY4ODkz] [quote:Melancholy:MV8yNjAyNTAzXzQ1NDcwMjc0X0I4QTE4REJF] Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took the exam in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125. But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training. Most Cops Just Above Normal The average score nationally for police officers is 21 to 22, the equivalent of an IQ of 104, or just a little above average. http://abcnews.go.com/US/court-oks-barring-high-iqs-cops/story?id=95836 Do you have what it takes?? To sit in a car and eat donuts all day? It kinda makes sense though, the smarter people shouldn't be wasting their time filling the role of grunts on the field. [/quote] ..you haven't been around cops much then. they do not sit around eating donuts. they amase a ton of information on the citizenry--"the grids" and they view their patrol beats as their personal 'fiefdoms.' ..they have 'the dirt' on every politician/judge/lawyer and many/most prominent business owners.. ..they cater to the rich--play poker at their golf clubs and masonic lodges, and vaction with influential shakers under the radar. ..they are not in 'general circulation' amongst the commoners--though they will 'pretend' they are just like the little guys.. ..they walk a fine line between the elite, and the unions. take heed.

Just something to bear in mind when you are interacting with the police. Or any government official, really.
You're probably talking to a moron.
Police Officially Refuse To Hire Applicants With High IQ Scores
It’s long been rumored amongst law enforcement critics, but did you know that police departments officially disqualify high-scoring applicants? That’s not to say that all cops are stupid… Just that if you’re too smart, the police simply won’t hire you.
