Hiring process of new police officers

What is generally the hiring process of new police officers and the kinds of tests commonly given to applicants? Does the process fairly evaluate police candidates? Would you add or remove any of the “hurdles” from the testing process? To correctly answer this question, identify the hiring process for a specific local police department of your choosing (provide a link to the department’s hiring criteria within your response) and identify the hiring process’s strengths and weaknesses. Please identify problematic areas in the process as well as making recommendations to improve the process. 

– Use concrete examples/details and avoid generalities.
