stupid-cops

Many have suspected it, but it is actually an official federal court ruling: police departments deliberately avoid hiring applicants with high IQ scores. But now there, is a sample test that shows some of the questions cops are required to answer in order to determine that IQ.

Critics of law enforcement have long suggested that police officers tend to be selected for their lack of critical thinking, but news that department hiring processes officially disqualify high-scoring applicants might still come as a shock to many.

While a rare exception to the rule might slip through the cracks, if you are too smart, police departments simply won’t hire you.

This policy became solidified in a federal ruling dating back almost a decade and a half ago. The ruling came with little fanfare from the mainstream, corporate media, who didn’t apparent find it to be newsworthy.

In 1999, a Federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by an applicant to the New London, Connecticut police department who was barred from being hired after successfully taking the intelligence portion of the police examinations. The disqualification came because he had scored “too high” on the test. The New London Police Department made it clear that they did not want the “bottom of the barrel” when it came to intelligence, but they also didn’t want anyone who was “too smart” either.

This little-known ruling was made public back in September of the same year. Judge Peter C. Dorsey of the United States District Court in New Haven, Connecticut confirmed that the plaintiff, Robert Jordan, 48, who holds a bachelor’s degree in literature, had been denied an opportunity to even interview for a job with the department, for no reason other than his high test scores.

Judge Dorsey ruled in favor of the department, saying that Mr. Jordan was offered no protection under the law in this case. There is no legal protection given to intelligent people from discriminatory hiring practices by individual police departments, Dorsey explained. The judge continued, explaining that police departments held all applicants to this same standard and thus they rejected all applicants who scored high. As a result, this could not be held as discriminatory in nature.

So what sort of questions do prospective cops have to answer on police exams? One sample test was sent to us from tests.com. It has 31 questions, including: simple math, vocabulary, spelling and usage of words, reading comprehension and memory. Check out some of the examples below:

Officer Smith often works as a drug-use prevention officer in the local public schools. He visits three schools a week, 40 weeks out of the year. How many schools does he visit in a year?
a. 100
b. 110
c. 120
d. 13

Identify the misspelled word in the following sentence: The surprising news anemated the conversation amongst the group.
a. surprising
b. anemated
c. conversation
d. amongst

The witness said that ______ staying at a local motel.
a. their
b. they’re
c. there
d. None of the above.

There were five ____________ to the crime.
a. witness’s
b. witness’
c. witnesses
d. witness

What term is the same in meaning as the word underlined in the following sentence?
The victims arm was lacerated in the accident.
a. cut
b. broken
c. pulverized
d. folded

The next time you cross paths with a law enforcement officer and wonder how anyone so stupid managed to get hired by their department, now you know that this stupidity might in fact be the very thing that qualified them for the job. (1 image)

The civil service hiring process is festooned with features that allow turds to float atop the pond.

How do you like the idea that the EMT calculating the IV drip rate being administered to a loved one "passed" the math portion of the exam with a 65%... but got extra points because their snoring bestowed "disability" points upon separation from military service?

This Sample Police Officer Exam Proves Departments Are Not Hiring Smart Recruits.

Actually, this sample police officer exam proves department are not hiring stupid recruits.

It makes sense for any LEO applicant screening process to start with a simple written exam as a screening tool for a cheap and quick way to “weed out” some applicants before they would move into the more costly aspects of the process.

The simplistic test you have viewed here is a classic example of the effective initial screening process.

The next time you cross paths with a law enforcement officer and wonder how anyone so stupid managed to get hired by their department, now you know that this stupidity might in fact be the very thing that qualified them for the job.

The next time you read a post by someone so stupid to think that answering these simple questions will get anyone a job as a police office, now you know just how stupid is, really is.

Only 35% of those taking the full qualification test for entry into police officer training pass it, only 10% are offered jobs.

Take a test to see if You would pass a police entry exam.
