Many years ago I worked for a company that did Police and Fire screenings for new hires. We contracted with over 70 suburban departments of a large city. It was a 8 hour process for the applicants. The first part of the day they would go through a written psychological testing program with a assessment interview with a Psychologist. Then in the afternoon they would take an in-depth polygraph examination.
Out of ten applicants we would consider it a good day if we could get 4 through the process that we could recommend. Many of the ones that were rejected would have been a danger to themselves or to the community. The question on the polygraph test that got the most bizarre answers was “Have you ever committed a crime that if the police would have known about you would have been arrested?” That knocked a lot out that didn’t have any arrest record...going on just the arrest record would have missed a lot of bad applicants...ones you wouldn’t have wanted to give a gun to. Minorities were definitely hard to qualify.

No surprise to me that you encountered that problem, qualifying Police and Fire personnel.
It is a frightful world out there where many can not be trusted to even sweep a floor, unsupervised, without getting into trouble.

And, I am talking about white people!

Bring on the EEOC and DOJ to screw us with their “diversity” crap, and we are really up Shit’s Creek.
