Police admit taking on recruits with minor convictions

[boomer]

I asked a recruitment officer a couple of years ago about 'previous'. His stance was yes dependant on severity. Needless to say i didn't get to pass go or collect the $10.50 pay packet per week.

As for missing out on the $10.50, they did me a favour, i'd be a P addict by now.

I'd rather they hired cops who've committed minor convictions in the distant past, than one's who'll commit major offences in the future.

No I don't, it's just my sense of civic duty!! And it's a hobby too!


And I just love sinking the slipper into lifes losers too - after 25 years at the freezing works you tend to have a good idea what they look like!!

Scumdog is a high-class bend-dexter Scottish name!

The problem with that LG is that those who have committed minor offences in the past may be more likely to commit major offences in the future than those who have a clean slate. It's a mindset thing. Those with minor convictions clearly believed that they would not get caught. Put that mindset into a police uniform with all the powers inherent in that uniform, then it is only natural that given the right sort of 'temptation' this mindset may predetermine the officers action at the expense of justice.
