"Recycled" Officer Arrested for Soliciting Bribes

A Dallas police officer was arrested yesterday for taking bribes in return for not arresting people on outstanding warrants. The article mentions that the officer was one of DPD's renowned "recycled" officers. The Dallas Police Department had a program where they would "recycle" officer trainees who couldn't make it through the academy. If they weren't good enough, they'd give them another chance. Then, maybe another. Until they passed. As a cheif training officer quoted in the article admitted, the program "was not as successful as the department had hoped."
