unequitable towards
law-abiding citizens. Finally, we must remember that police officers should
have
transferable skills, such as
lateral thinking and
investigative ability, which should
transcend
their background or the environment they are working in.
Overall, it seems to me that local knowledge is not absolutely essential for the police, whose
skills should be effective in any
context. Indeed, I agree with those who say that the risks of local
recruitment
outweigh the benefits, because of the danger of corruption and
over-familiarity with
potential offenders.
