The personality disorder that leads people to be cops ought to be a disqualifying trait. I don't really know how we would get appropriate people. The job itself probably creates some of the personality disorder- repeatedly seeing horrible crime scenes is probably traumatic and encountering awful people might create prejudices. It's also bad that some departments disqualify candidates if their IQ is too high.
You seem to think there is any will to change anything. There isn't, the system is already working exactly as intended.
