I don't think this is the case for all police roles, although I guess it would also depend on each country. In Botswana some of the lower/entry roles don't require a Degree, I think the lowest qualification they need is a GCSE/iGCSE (high school). But some roles will ask for a Degree or above...

I remember that incident, missbishi! It was widely televised and there were police officers everywhere, their cars and police copters! Wasn't it it the one where Gazza even tried to talk Moat down or something? It was very strange. I've also seen this sort of thing happen here, but we never...

I hate this type of thing on forms, the same goes for having to indicate your race. I think it has the potential of being discriminatory and like everyone says, what bearing does your sexual orientation or race have on your ability to do your job? I would hate to know that I missed out on a job...

Hehe, thegrey1, he's probably been watching too many police and crime films and TV shows! He probably saw Prison Break and thought, oh this will be a piece of cake, I can walk it LOL They believe everything they see on TV, the poor fools!

It's a shame but for whatever reason I can't get into the story, it seems to be a broken link :( But reading between the lines; it sounds pretty horrific! I mean even if there was torture involved, it would have to have been some pretty serious torture session for the lad to have had his spine...

No way, I doubt someone would be disqualified from joining the police force on the basis of them being TOO INTELLIGENT! That sounds off and just doesn't make any sense at all LOL In fact, I have yet to meet a police officer who I deemed stupid. In Botswana, more and more university graduates are...

Kudos to him on a job well done! It's nice to see a police chief getting their hands dirty, it's very commendable. Now he'll have bragging rights and will probably be saying, see boys and girls, THAT is how you do it hehe Sometimes I wonder why these criminals bother trying to break out...

I don't think someone being a cop would have any bearing on my being friends with them or not. I have nothing to hide, and certainly don't see someone being a cop as a turn off. I actually admire them and respect what they do. It's not by design that I don't have any police officer friends, I...

I commend the victim for keeping it together and not retaliating! When you're attacked out of the blue like that it's human instinct to answer in kind, that's the knee jerk reaction! I'm just happy that nobody was hurt in the whole commotion. Clearly the attacker needs help of some sort.

I'm one of those people who finds it hard to keep quiet about something I'm unhappy about. My last job was no different and my voicing my opinion was viewed as me being negative! I think this attitude from employers is their way of shutting people up and down, because who likes being called...

This in my opinion, was terribly shoddy! Irrespective of what the lad did, the fact remains, he's still only a minor! The police should have made a concerted effort to find his family and notified them! They're obviously spoiling for a lawsuit!

It's so sad when this happens. We've seen so many celebrities do it, and I've heard it's more about the thrill of it than a need. I remember many years ago, the most high profile person who was in the news for it was Wynona Rider. Her career was never the same after that. The famous British chef...

I like most people, go through anxiety and stress, but I choose to just ride it out without taking anything for it. I'm more wary of becoming addicted and reliant on the pills and not being able to ever come off them. I don't think it's healthy to take something for life. My husband has anxiety...

As I don't drive and have never driven, I haven't ever experienced road rage. I am planning on taking some lessons and getting on the road soon. I fully intend to IGNORE these nutters who invest time and energy in harassing and abusing fellow drivers, because it can sometimes turn very ugly. I...

I work out of my home office mainly but have a part time freelance job. So when I'm out and about, I carry tissues, anti-abc wet wipes, hand lotion, some lipstick and lip balm, some mint chewing gum, my purse (or wallet to some) and a bottle of water at all times. I never really have the need to...

Wow, that's crazy! Talk about making a statement loud and clear. Well, you can't exactly blame her for being two faced, you know exactly where you stand with her, and she's not apologising for it. It doesn't make it right, but I guess it's her prerogative. I don't know how it is in the US, but...

That's a very interesting question! I still maintain that even though people like this equality thing between genders, it can't always apply. There are things that men will do better because of their size and strength, in comparison to the smaller, more slight female form. The more physical the...

Wow, that's crazy; up to 55 years in jail for a murder charge that didn't really happen! -and they didn't even pull the trigger? I can sort of see the reasoning behind it, had they not burgled that house, their friend would still be alive. He died as a result of them all breaking and entering...

Wow, how dim is this man?! All that, just to get out of getting a speeding ticket?! I wonder if he thinks it was worth it now LOL This being America, I'm glad that he's likely to get a harsh sentence, if charged. It's very frustrating to think that some people just don't realise how much police...

This is just too sad. I hate it when young, innocent children get caught in the crossfire. Why would you get guns out in the presence of children, when you know there's always the chance of stray bullets hitting the unintended?! I know this will annoy some people, but I still maintain that there...
