Police officials accused of using bogus degrees - Lieutenant takes borough of South River to court over promotion process (http://nbs.gmnews.com/news/2005/0217/Front_Page/038.html).

Sad. This is about 10 miles from where I currently sit.

Why doesn't the judge just see how many minutes it takes to earn a Roachville degree? The website is pretty blatant no books, no tests etc

Why not in the medical field? Medicine is so much more interesting than policing.

Agreed. A most disturbing situation which indicates a real lack of knowledge on accreditation. The test will be thrown out.

An update: Diploma mill suit settled by boro, cop -- S.R. police lieutenant receives pay increases; will retire at year’s end (http://suburban.gmnews.com/news/2005/0505/Front_Page/058.html)

Snippet:Sliker also acknowledged that the ordinances regarding the promotional process for officers may need to be adjusted, but said he did not believe there was any wrongdoing on the part of the borough.

“The promotional process was followed right to the letter of the law,” he said. “All the borough ordinance says is a ‘college degree.’ ”

Bomba said he does not feel that education should play as great of a role in promotional considerations.I agree with Chief Bomba -- assuming he meant "educational credentials."

Considering the fact that unaccredited degrees are illegal for use in New Jersey... this is rather embarrassing for law enforcement IMHO.
