    Met Police Detective Recruitment Drive

    Ello, ello, ello, who fancies being a copper, seems all are welcome as long as they have a Degree

    The detective recruitment drive at the Met is the first of two planned this year. Successful applicants will receive a basic starting salary of £22,896 plus £6,711 London allowances. This rises to £38,001 plus London allowances.

      Loose recruitment standards + low wages = corruption

        Eh?

        Take that as a given, this is the Met we are talking about, there are established standards to be upheld after all

          As:

          Overall 54% of London street crimes are committed by black males
          For robbery, 59% were black males
          For gun crimes, 67% were black males

          Given this, wouldn't targeting the black male population be good policing?

              I thought they got those figures because they were already targeting the black male population

                  So, I don't see any massive enthusiasm to join up and contribute to the future of Londons Metropolitan Police force

                    Seems a sound idea to me. Investigation has many requirements, some who would not make good coppers could be excellent at analysing evidence, coordinating investigations etc.
