One of my best friends is a cop. Through him I have become friends with several cops and know many others. You would be shocked (or maybe not) at the types of people that actually pass the psych test.
Here is a scary one. A guy that worked for my friend's department was getting into some hot water in the department. To make a long story short he had, on a few occasions, broken the rules. First he started dating, then married on his his paid drug informants. After they broke up he secretly started dating and then married another officer in that department. He was her direct supervisor and it is very much against department rules.
So they were looking into him. He decides to move on and applies at a few other departments. One of them hires him, but since it is a new department he has to go through all of the steps including taking a drug test and a psych evaluation. He failed the psych evaluation so they didn't hire him, yet he kept his job at his original department and when they tried to fire him the union stepped in and was able to prevent it.
Eventually all the shit he had done caught up with him and they were able to fire him, but that was 3-4 years after his failed psych evaluation.
