Because in today's political environment and with the poor pay for officers, it is getting harder and harder to find officers that should be in the profession, therefore, some agencies have resorted to lowering their standards and accepting anyone that has minimum standards. The answer to this is for APOSTC to take a more active role in pulling certifications of those not suited for the job. They are reticent in doing this however and prefer to rely on the agencies to weed people out. There was a time, in the not to distant past, that I was doing background checks and two things, among others, that were automatic disqualifiers were being fired from another LE agency or a Dishonorable Discharge from the military. This is not the case anymore.
