Yes, but it's not a 100% correlation.
College used to teach analytical skills, reading comprehension and professional writing skills. (not now)
Interesting. Does MoCo require you to have specific courses ? I don't care whether a cop has writing skills, I do care whether he knows the law and it's history. If they made me king, I would require every cop have lots of credits on the Constitution, the history of totalitarian regimes and criminal procedure. Not speaking about MoCo, but in general we appear to have an abundance of cops who are lacking knowledge in those areas.
