    I chose to do my report on one bigger city in Wisconsin. The city of the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) has various mental and physical exams that are required in the hiring process of becoming a police officer.

College education police officers have a positive effect on academy performance and career advancement and have a positive relationship between educational levels and officer promotions.…
