I do not think the members will be less committed. As experienced Operators, if we are actively recruiting, we will search for a certain type of Officer. Through the indoc process, an Officer will quickly discover whether or not the SWAT team is a good fit for them. So through the selection process, we can filter out those who would not be committed. I believe recruitment will produce a more committed Officer.
