And you base this empty prediction on what evidence,exactly?
I think you could probably pool all the braincells of every useless plod on that protest and you wouldn't find enough intelligence to pass a primary school Sats test for seven year olds,let alone a degree.
Well that's where you wrong angry man. Loads and I mean loads of serving police officers hold degrees. FACT.
The police are one of the only organisations that still provide free vocational training. That is about to change.
Student officers in the future will have to first fund and pay for there own law training, once they have completed that to degree standard they will apply to become an unpaid Special constable for a set period of time. If they show the satisfactory performance they can then join the police on a full time paid basis.
They already employ something similar in Merseyside where student officers attain a vocational degree at John Moore university.
Oh and the Chief Constable of GMP has said that if he had his way, all new joiners in the police would be graduates.
Need I go on?
I'm sorry if that flies in the face of your well founded theories on the police but there it is.
In 5 - 10 years time all new police officers will be graduates. Some organisations are just having to face change without spitting their dummies out and smashing the gaff up.
