Do you think hiring police officers or security guards that are tall like over 6feet for example will make people feel more intimidated?

Taller individuals usually have the potential to be physically stronger due to their larger body size and the capacity to carry more muscle. Since their body is bigger they have the ability to carry or produce more muscle compared to the people who are shorter than them.

Yes. Taller is implicitly associated with leadership & strength.

The point of police is not to intimidate. It's to do a range of things that should make people feel secure NOT afraid. It's more about whether they are capable of being compassionate and giving to communities as they are the front line of risk in violent situations often.

I think it cuts down on police shootings. Thugs are less likely to take them on. If you hire some short fat woman you're asking for problems.

Yes, definitely. Especially if they are big and muscular. I knew cops that everyone wanted to work with because they were beasts.

Safer.
