I work in corporate America, and this is my experience in this field...The main thing I look for is sincerety when answering questions, their job background - and their deep down reason for leaving their last job... -> the last one is the MOST important to me.

That he was a serious and dedicated perfectionist. But was picked on mercilessly by his supervisor for no reason other than his hair. He left his job because he wanted his dignity and self respect.
Speaking as an old crusty soldier and cop, one reason bald is so popular in law enforcment is that so many military come into it, particularly from the combat arms. It's pretty natural for a young military guy to leave the service and go into police work. Im glad to see military haircuts and slick heads have made a big comeback in lew enforcement. It adds a lot to the professional image of a department.(Believe me, there is a LOT of debate in the "intellectual" circles of law enforcement over appearance, uniforms, etc). A lot of police academies have gone back to a very structured, regimented military training standard and all the hair comes off(Thank God) and produce good basic officers. Anyway, my department has eight of us that are total baldies(one of the lieutenants even calls us the "Baldies") and a lot that wear flat tops, hight and tights and also just the basic once-a-week trip to the barber for a no guard clipper buzz peel. We actually have a number of those that just get it down to stubble once a week. Here in TX with the heat, its the only way to go. There are a few of the older officers(from the 70s) that wear longer hair but not many. Most of the those have switched over.
