Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alan's college degree would not necessarily make him have higher arrest rates compared to a law enforcement officer with a GED. Arrest rates depend on multiple factors such as department policies, crime rates in the area, and individual officer performance. However, Alan's education may still benefit him in areas such as report writing and potentially lead to fewer citizen complaints due to his ability to communicate effectively in Spanish. Additionally, his education may also contribute to less improper use of force as he may have received training on conflict resolution and de-escalation techniques in his college coursework.
