Baltimore County Maryland Police exam unfair to blacks

[pete7713]

The U.S. Department of Justice sued the Baltimore County government Tuesday, alleging that a written test for police officer recruits was unfairly biased against African American applicants.


African American applicants failed the test at a greater rate than white applicants, resulting in fewer African Americans being hired as police officers, the Department of Justice wrote in the lawsuit. The suit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore, did not include the pass rates, but said the difference was “statistically significant.”


The exams tested reading, grammar, logic and other skills that the suit alleges are not related to the job of being a police officer or police cadet




Who writes the police reports if the officer has no reading or grammar skills. Thought using logic would be kind of important for a police officer.

Been trying to figure out where the knowledge exists that is only accessible to white people.

I am Deputy in Oklahoma and we have an exam called P.O.S.S.E (Police Officer Screening and Selection Exam) basically a mini SAT or ACT type exam. It's one of the first steps you take before interviews etc... Once you pass that you have a myriad of written tests. The hardest is the State Law Block. So there is reason the test is structured a certain way.
