Commute

[Reconaz]

I was wondering how far do some LEOs travel to go to work? Reason why I ask, I am moving down to Queen Creek and wanting to apply for Phoenix PD. I'm curious if anyone is in this situation now and how long it takes them to get to and from work. I am keeping in mind that traffic plays a major role on the commute.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure your still in maricopa county its a Phoenix PD requirement and alot of queen creek is in pinal county.

I drive 45 min to work i live in far west valley though.

I live in QC and it takes me about 35-40 min to reach HQ. Academy I would say about 45-60 minutes. All depends which precinct you work out of and if your shift starts/ends in off peak traffic hours.

Just wondering what the max is.

I measured it from this place i call home down to Human Resources (garage to parking lot) and it measured a little over 23 miles.

Am I good to go?

[Reconaz]

Thank you everyone for the info. 30-45 mins is doable for me.

I have another question. I heard a rumor that Queen Creek will have their own PD in 2 years. Is anyone able to confirm?

OverCharged,

Actually I will be within Maricopa County, but just by one block. I good thing I decided on this house and not our second choice.

Distance dont matter aslong as you live in the boundaries of Maricopa County.

My commute is about 10 - 15 seconds.

My commute is about 10 - 15 seconds.

oh I forgot. 10-8 from the driveway.

so let me pose the question a different way.

I would like to be with metro central units.
How far is the max i could live to be allowed to work for metro central?

Or will I be made to work with metro west since I am closer to them?

[AzDogs]

I have a buddy that worked metro east and lived in the city of Surprise.

I know some tinkering has been done with this recently but when I hired on it was 30 miles away. You wouldn't be "on duty" until you were in your area although you may respond to something outside of your area if it was a priority call.

Yep, in Phoenix, you have to live within 30 air miles of The Phoenix 103.
