Actually, in the cold light of day, it looks amazingly fiscally responsible for a government entity and a sound business decision that produces nothing but positives.

So now I understand that you don't see that using an officer who has had a program tailored to his needs as an example would mislead recruits. The goal is to recruit; the ends justify the means.
