It sounds like 'lowering the standards' is the new 'changing the criteria'. That's not to say there is no room for a 5' 2" bobby, there is after all more room for them.
There is usually nothing wrong with the original criteria, it's just that applicants lacking the all round ability are weeded out, a good thing, and the recruitment methods are inadequate, a bad thing. Then they change the good thing. And 'they' think we don't notice.
