I just finished my first week of the Police Academy, and I'm extremely sore yet extremely excited for Monday. I'm learning a lot of great stuff and I love that at the end of each day i'm getting closer to my certification. Working nights after class all day is tough, but it will be worth it in...

Hello Forum, Anyone know when the NYPD 1305 exam is up for processing? Took it in October 2010. APD stated that several exams are ahead of mine and it will take a long time before my exam is processed. Weird since i received my list number and apd form last year in march of 2012.

Hello hope I posted this in the correct place. I recently applied as a deputy and was hoping someone could tell me what a "typical" day would be like. My main concern is they will tell me to guard this door for 12 hours.

Do police officers, when off duty, have to have a conceal carry permit if they are armed? If they do, is the class part of the academy, or do you have to go to the classes with the general public? What about retired officers? Thanks.

Hello fellow officers, I'm a 4th year college student that has been interested in law enforcement for quite some time. I can't wait to graduate and start applying to local PDs. Have any of you officers been in a situation where someone you are questioning is video taping you? How do you deal...

Have never done a second interview and was not honestly expecting it. The Chief was not present for initial interview last week, so I'm guessing he wants to meet the finalists in person. Any insight as far as what to expect? Any different than first interviews, generally speaking?

Last month I passed an oral board for a department and didn't think I did so hot. Then the other day out of the blue I get a notice that I'm moving on to the "final interview" which is an "Officer panel interview." Can anyone who has done this, or something similar, give me an idea of what to expect

Hi everyone, I have a panel interview with a police department in San Bernardino County coming up next week. I do not have a good track record on interviews. I have received low scores. I know the basics like looking sharp and knowing command staff, does anyone have helpful tips or suggestions?

Hey guys, I had a quick question for those with some knowledge of how the hiring process generally works. I'm a pretty clean person, I've never been arrested, I've never done drugs, I'm in school to get my 4 year degree, and the only major debt I have are student loans. It is alot of money...

Hello, I am sure there are many veterans here. Can anyone identify anything wrong with the thought of joining Marine Corps Officer Reserves (through platoon leader's course) after graduating college and working full time LE or as an NPS ranger/ federal LE?

I joined this forum last week and I have since read numerous posts about being DQ'd. I laughed at a lot of them, and thought I have nothing to worry about, since I have never done anything wrong really wrong except when I was 16 I was arrested for shoplifting. Will I be DQ'd?

Hi, Im woking on a project which concerns improving underwater communications. I would be very grateful if you could take some time to help me out by answering some questions and describing how you communicate underwater. What is your primary communication method whilst diving?

Hey again everyone, Long story short as to not write a wall of text, I just turned 23 two months ago and enrolled in school. I'm concerned with what I would assume would be viewed as a lack of life experience by 27 if I stay in school. Am I right?

I know this is not a traffic enforcement or hiring process question but I am currently having to write a paper for one of my CRJ classes and since it has to be five pages I was hoping that you guys could give me some pros and cons or just some different angles to look at the topics.

What is your opinion on the Citizens Police Academy? I've applied to attend my local departments CPA program, mainly because they prefer that you go through this "training" to have the opportunity to go on a couple ride-alongs.

Hello all I wanted to know if it is possible to be able to get a printout of a police report of all the times a cop had to come to my house throughout all the years I've been here. Weather it was from our alarm system going off in the past to something serious. I live in PA
