To my law enforcement brothers in Arizona:
I'm an officer in Tennessee (not enough time in to do a lateral though), looking to advance my career somewhere where politics don't run whether you get hired or not. Of course Phoenix seems to be place to try to get a job, when they are looking for 370 officers this year. But to those who know, how long does the process generally take? It says 3-5 months, but I know depts. that claim to only take a few weeks for the entire process, only to turn around and take 6 months.
Also, what are my chances of actually getting hired before making the trip? I am an officer, so I do have experience; my background is clean (not a felon, never once tried drugs, hell never even took a drink in my life).
I appreciate your responses in advance. Take care out there!
