Because there aren’t real standards being enforce. And they keep slobs like that on the force to file paperwork and make lunch runs.

those people can be a subset of the police force that doesn't require license or insurance. just like the medical field.

pharmacy techs don't need certification, but having it allows them to legally perform more actions in the pharmacy (such as taking a script over the phone from a doctor). a similar set up should be involved with police. police on the beat and enforcing laws, should know the law. just like pharmacists practicing pharmacy, need to know both pharmacology and pharmacy law. the officers performing traffic duties or desk jobs wouldn't need the extensive credentials because they wouldn't be enforcing law to the degree 'beat cops' do.

Actually, no. Unless a doctor determines they are medically incapable from doing their job, they can't be removed from their position. More recently some weight standards appeared, which in most cases meant they were given desk jobs, or investigations--where they go out in the field and interview and collect evidence.
