If we made the police departments a noble and elite profession and paid them for their skills (communication, firing accuracy, etc.), we would have better people. They put their lives on the line daily and are paid a paltry salary. This also has to do with revamping the justice system-taking criminals off the streets and making them pay the time for the crime, no matter who you are. If it is a revolving door, what is the point putting your life on the line. Corruption is very deep and must be rooted out-no tolerance for bribes and working with the criminals.
