The people who accept the new candidates have to be people who accept that the force has to change. Otherwise, they're going to bring in people who are like them, people who are satisfied with the way we're training or bringing in people. If we want to develop a career plan for everyone, it means also that there has to be much more attention to the way we provide training and promotions. Training and promotions are almost one thing because most promotions are based on the fact that you have followed a number of courses and that you have acquired the abilities that are needed for the new function. This is why I don't think it makes sense to have that kind of a program and then bring in people with only a high school education. They're just not going to develop rapidly enough.
