In most places they have to pass a psych evaluation to get the job. I have a friend who was trying to be a reserve cop and didn't pass the psyche evaluation because she recently went through a divorce and was told that she was still too mentally fragile and ungrounded from it.
This doesn't mean that someone can't lie on the evaluation, but there are some buffers in place to help weed those people out. Contrary to popular belief most cops are not power hungry psychopaths. I personally know a lot of cops and I would say only a few of them out of the dozens I know are what I consider "cowboy" cops who think they are John Wayne cleaning up the scum.
