They may have to issue self serve citations.. Sounds like most of them won’t have the brains to do it alone.

The D.O.J. and Civil Service Board declined Dayton’s News Source’s repeat requests for interviews. The lower standards mean 258 more people passed the test. The city won't say how many were minorities.
They won't say because it was probably all of them... Just what the world needs. Cops that are too stupid to spell "CAT" if you spot them the "C" and the "T"...

I tested a few years back and passed the first time with a pretty high score, then went back to test again (first test expired) and noticed the pass score was lower. I asked the instructor and he said they lowered it so more people would make it into the academy...seemed kinda nuts to me!

I didn't realize there was some quota of African-Americans that police departments needed to hire. I would think it's more logical to determine why so many applicants don't pass the exam, not simply dumb down the exam.

To bad the PD lowered the score to attract "minority" recruits. This speaks volumes for our PC society and the Obama administration.

So I guess that a grade of D or F is the new paradigm shift. I wonder what this will cost the taxpayers of Dayton down the road. And you wonder why Andy only allowed Barney to carry one bullet in his shirt pocket.

Cool

If they had to lower the criterion so I could pass, I would be too ashamed to take the job.
