I'd like to see more recruits over the age of 30 with more life skills under their belt - As domestic violence being the no.1 crime in JC (if not the entire U.S) older police should be more experienced to deal with the issue then a late teen early 20 something (still with zits).
I'd hypothsize that suspects of domestic violence would more likely comply to orders directed to them by an older officer.

Jersey City mayor-elect plans to recruit more police officers
By Terrence T. McDonald/The Jersey Journal June 18, 2013 at 7:32 PM Jersey City Mayor-elect Steve Fulop announced today that he is expanding the size of the next police department recruitment class from 25 to 40. Fulop, 36, who campaigned on boosting public safety in Jersey City, said in statement from his office that he plans to add additional classes later this year in an effort to ?rebuild? the department. ?The Jersey City Police Department has been down many officers for far too long,? Fulop said. ?I am committed to the safety of our residents as priority No. 1 and having more officers on the streets. Along with a restructuring of the department, we will begin to reduce crime that plagues many neighborhoods in our city.? The police department is experiencing what Fulop calls ?a massive wave of retirements.? Around 25 officers of various ranks are expected to retire by August, with former Police Chief Tom Comey already gone. Comey, an ally of outgoing Mayor Jerramiah Healy, announced his retirement soon after Fulop defeated Healy in the May 14 mayoral race. The city?s police force is around 800, which Fulop said he wants to increase. The mayor-elect, who takes office on July 1, has pledged to bring ?a community-policing approach? to Jersey City. ?Once these officers are sworn in, residents should expect to see them walking the beat,? he said in the statement. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... e_police_officers.html#/4
