Ya becoming a police officer doesn't seem like a filler job you take between rocket scientist jobs.  There are alot better choices besides police officer for that. Unless he just always wanted to be one and just wanted to see what it was like for a few weeks and bolt.  It's hard to tell his intentions are. Also does it say what other qualifications he has? Hell he could be a high school dropout and just bummed around his whole life.  Did they base the over qualifications on his IQ alone?

I am going to say this again.  A lot of the really smart ones leave and become lawyers.  This would not happen in NYC anyway.  It is a sittly little town.

Becoming a cop with an IQ that high is the equivalent to a rocket scientist choosing to work at McDonalds.

took the words right outta my fingertips.

it doesn't surprise me that PD's don't view candidates with high IQ's as viable. from my impression, smart people tend to be more prone to question the status quo. they also don't seem to be as violent. both of those seem to be huge impediments to being a "good" cop.

I hate that the general population will judge a person's intellect by their IQ score. I just think there is more than one type of intelligence.

i would tend to think the smarter ones just get promoted. i have heard of former cops becoming attorneys, but that doesn't seem standard to me. i could be mistaken though.

His intelligence could be better used then simply being a cop. It makes sense to me. Maybe a homicide detective would be a better fit.




What homicide detectives do you know didn't have to start out as an ordinary cop first?
