I dont have anything against female officers. I have worked with many that have been great officers and would make great detectives. I have worked with some people, male and female, that should never have been patrol officers, much less detectives. I dont judge officers based on their gender, but I do judge them based on their performance.
In corporate America, people tend to succeed not based on skill and expertise, but more on personality. Law enforcement shouldn't follow suit, the stakes are far too high for that, but it happens more and more.
Thats why I posted process #2. Its not intended to say women can't be good detectives, but it does illustrate that some individuals can be promoted on personality instead of skill. No one wants to admit it happens, but it does. Ive seen it first hand and the department suffered for it in the long run.
