if it's no better then a random sample of U.S citizenry, then your hiring practices suck and you need to pick up your game...
Oh Lord I could rant on with this one. Most hiring, around here anyway, have been horribly politically driven. The city must have more * (insert special class here) officers to satisfy the political winds.
Sometime it can be a reasonable special consideration; such as if you a large and growing X community it might be a good idea to hire more X officers, especially if there are significant language, custom, and racial features. You may lucky and get great people. But sometimes in the rush to satisfy a quota a few less than stellar ones get through the screening process.
So, yes, Antelope Sniper, a lot of civilian hiring practices suck.
Don't get me started on training.
