As has been pointed out, you can't make a blanket statement, this is
only one department. The NYPD requires recruits to have 60 college
credits. There is no IQ test given. To be considered, a person first
must take a test administered by the department. There is then
psychological evaluations, physical tests, background checks, etc. It's
quite involved and people, like my son, can wait years after passing the
initial test to get "called" and finally make it into the police
academy.
