There does seem to be a nationwide AWARENESS of the need to RETIRE both older Policemen and women because of inflexible attitudes. And find a way on an initial applicant interview to search deep into the soul and psyche of the potential policeperson.
........It can't be overestimated how IMPORTANT police are to society. We need and should demand the best and not be afraid to PAY for the BEST.
........One thing that I have found about ANY organization, including a given Police force, is that the whole organization tends to take on the personality of the TOP person (usually male). There is a county in Florida where at the peak of the Delta Coronavirus epidemic, this Sheriff UNILATERALLY DECREED that his deputies NOT wear masks. That IS a good example of how a top person in any organization can excessively influence the workers under their thumb.

Not totally sure of your point.
I think it is pretty obvious that the law enforcement around here know who the troublemakers and petty small-time crooks are, and traffic stops that result in an arrest for whatever petty crime, are an excellent way to keep the pressure on. If this is another way of doing that, then have at it. I'm in favor.
