Sadly, there is probably no screening process for any positions that weed out all of the bad people. Not to mention events in their lives after they are on the job. Based on sheer volumes the slightest number of "misses" can be devastating results 

Well yes. With all we go through in my line of work, there are still traitors that somehow get through.

I think this board is plenty of proof a four year degree doesn’t inoculate people from racism and ignorance.

I am curious about the background investigation. For my job, mine was about six months. And I don’t carry a gun. 
I think the screening probably weeds out a lot of bad actors but I am curious if the process is ongoing. I have to answer for my actions regularly and have a full review every five years. And medical. 

Agreed, but I would think the ratios are lot lower when educated. You’ll never weed them all out.
