I think another big issue is that cops are paid like shit. This immediately removes a lot of qualified people because for that effort you could make a lot more money somewhere else.

The only candidates you are left with are those who truly care for the community, and those who get off controlling it.

Entry level salary for cops in Seattle is over 100k

Where did you get that info? Cops in LA NYC & Seattle (all places I've lived) have very high starting salaries, besides all the excellent benny's like double pay for anything over 4hrs OT work per day, zero dollar PPO insurance, etc..
