Mexico: 13,500 police didn't finish grade school


Why are none of us surprised by this...

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican government reports that almost 14% of the country's city, state and federal police officers never received a high school diploma, while 4% never made it through grade school.

Assistant Education Secretary Miguel Szekely released the figures Wednesday while announcing a plan to help the officers earn degrees for knowledge they have gained on the job or in home study.

The government recently reported that almost half of the country's 375,000 police officers failed a battery of security, psychological and background tests.

Mexican police forces have been hit by the worst corruption scandal in a decade in recent months, after high-ranking police and prosecution officials were detained for allegedly aiding traffickers.

Of course who else would take the job, certainly nobody with any common sense or intelligence. That could prove fatal.
