I don't know. I don't run a police force. I imagine getting rid of IQ caps, getting rid of affirmative action and actually waiting the most qualified, and not training officers to treat citizens as the enemy could be somewhat effective.
But I think it comes down to metrics and what they're judged on ultimately, yeah. If you promote based on convictions, you'll get more convictions, but not necessarily less crime, just people using every dirty trick in the book to convict someone as quickly as possible.
How do we remove this idea from policing. Decouple promotions with arrests?

Wait a sec... they don’t allow smart people to become a cop?
Think about it from the perspective of crooked officials who use cops to protect their dirty work.
Lol, you're just finding out about this? Yes, they discriminate against high IQ applicants.
It's because people with higher IQ's tend to quit more frequently, and it's a waste of time and money to train people who end up quitting.
When i learned about the iq cap, i was floored and outraged.
