Orientation Sessions For The Police Exam - Wednesday, January 5

I agree with that assessment. The physical portion is important but they are cutting the importance of the written portion because minorities and women have scored lower than white males? Sorry about that. Standards should be kept regardless of skin color or gender.

This issue was discussed on the afternoon radio talk show today.  Many feel that the reduced emphasis on the written portion of the test is a dumbing down of the YPD.

These sessions are an attempt to create a diverse pool of applicants for the police positions.
After the exam, the list will be good for a period of two years.
