Hello,
I was contemplating taking the SDPD test and going through the hiring process. However, i'm somewhat discouraged due to my background. Looks like i'm going to have to explain it again, so here we go:
2008 i was arrested for a misdemeanor arrest for domestic violence. Essentially what occurred was that me and my girlfriend got into a verbal argument,as it escalated i said some spiteful remarks towards her and i was assaulted on first. I then had to 'push past' her to exit the room and called for 9-11 ,as law enforcement arrived on scene they said " They didn't believe my story" and i was arrested for this incident. All charges were dropped and the DA didn't file the case. I'm still able to own firearms without issue. And my girlfriend is willing to write a letter to attest to my character if need be.
I took the Sheriff's test with SDSD, and the recruiter told me it shouldn't be an issue as long as no conviction resulted. Which there wasn't. So i took the written and passed. The next phase was orientation and they gave me the Pre Background Investigative Questionare which DQ'd me from the process before backgrounds. So with all the things going on with SDPD in the media, do you think the same thing will happen to me? That i would be DQ'd before backgrounds?
The SDPD recruiter told me, it "shouldn't DQ me but you'd have to go through the hiring process to find out". I just don't want to waste my time and theirs, if other people don't have the same issue.
I know i will have a hard time getting into LE with my issuse, but i'm highly motivated and determined to make it a career. I work out everyday, i just ran 4.7 miles so i know i am in shape. I might just have to put myself through the academy and look for agencies in Imperial Valley, who will let me explain myself.
