I'm new here at Officer.com and just wanted to introduce myself. I received my first police officer application and meet all of the requirements! I have a few question's and thought's that I would like some input on.
First, how often do police departments hire? Do they hire every few month's or are they alway's taking applications and choose what they like?
Second, if they are not hiring do they require me to take the Civil Service exam now or before they start hiring?
Third, I know they look into credit history and I know I have perfect credit. But I'am currently financing a vehicle and still owe about $15k, will this hurt me?
Last but not least, what are the most flagged question's on the applications? I've had about 7 part-time/temporary job's in the past 2 years. I'm currently 21 and am motivated to start a career and new life in the force. I have no regrets about previous years, it's just that I've had alot of jobs. I made descent to good grades in high school, did poorly the first year of college, but perfect (4.0) when I returned. How do you guy's think my odd's are?
