Hi again, I assumed people on the list actually followed the link and read the post. Unfortunately most people seem to have not, just like other regular Slashdotters .... 8-D This comment says it all ....... http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3689989&cid=43558963 I will copy and paste it here for those who cannot go and read it for some reason. " *Police work in any country is more about the appearance of security than actual security. It doesn't matter if it works. It only matters if it keeps people calm.* *I'm not advocating this as the way it should be, just the way it is. We'd all actually be safer if we switched to evidence based policing. But then the government couldn't get away with shit like the War on Drug Users.* " Sorry for the fonts in bold. I just hope it kicks away the arguments about muscular policewomen and men prowling the streets, or the highly athletic ones once and for all. We are talking about cops here a.k.a custodians of the Law, not night club bouncers. On second thoughts, the comment above actually reinforces that idea ....... Martin.

People, running is not the only way to secure a place in the police force. Those are service men who are recruited like that for obvious reasons. You need able bodied men and women patrolling the streets. I have seen several adverts in the past advertising for specialists to join the police.
They usually want graduates professionals such as doctors, surveyors engineers etc. I doubt your marathon skills are important here. You are also unlikely to find a specialist manning a roadblock.

@Njenga,
Wrong!
Tell me why anyone should be chased - like chicken. Isn't there a tactful way to effect arrest? I can tell you that chasing is the most unnecessary thing these guys do. They have the right to summon anyone to the Police Station. This can be done through the administrative channels or even your relatives. No need to run after anyone.

Chasing people is on the job description.

@Dennis,
Just because you couldn't run fast enough to get selected when you went for recruitment doesn't mean you have to rubbish the calibre of our police.
:P

Wash,
The guys I meant are the ones who I suspect (and here I would be assuming) ended their education at F4, and probably just met the threshold of intake. The reason I say this is from the ones I've interacted with, quite a large percentage you cannot argue with or make to see reason. I don't know if it's because of their education level or just culture of the police force. Same situation that happens in traffic. I know it's wrong to put a blanket judgement on the whole force but I guess it's my frustration
Regards,
Alex
