What is the current hiring process time for both of these departments? Is it a several year wait for LAPD? What is the story with San Diego I heard in a couple other forums that pay isnt really good there?

They both have fast processes. LAPD pays better by far. SDPD, even with a recent raise, is the lowest paid in so cal. But then from the stuff I hear on this board, i'd much rather work for SDPD than LAPD.
Skip both agencies... there is better in so cal. Try LASO, RSO, Anaheim PD, etc.
And do a search. There is a lot of info on both. Someone asked this last week.Get low, get ground, get tactical! Sprawl! Sprawl! Sprawl!

Hell No With Lapd
There's no way I would go LAPD. Their own top management doesn't care about them (Chief, Mayor).
The Mayor came back from Mexico spouting his rhetoric about Police brutality. What about the brutality of the protestors, they threw rocks and bottles full of frozen urine (premeditated).
Since the Mayor comes from immigrant ancestors, I’m not sure if they were illegal, but he’s helping the protestors first. What kind of crap is that!
If that’s how they run things there, I’ll steer clear.

I work here and I've heard anywhere from six months, when times are tough to get qualified recruits, to 30 months.
Bottom line, why not apply to both and start the process? By the time either one, or both departments, are ready to hire you, you'll be ready to take the position and the paycheck."You're never fully dressed without a smile."
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Three things I know for sure: (1) No bad deed goes unrewarded, (2) No good deed goes unpunished, and (3) It is entirely possible to push the most devoted, loyal and caring person beyond the point where they no longer give a 5h!t.

and you'd rather work for SDPD, where you need a Sgt's approval to make arrests?
A Sgt's approval to make arrests? what are you talking about? please do some research before posting blatantly incorrect information about another agency on here.
And as far as 80 mph...I will neither confirm or deny anything, I will just say...you've never worked graveyards on the weekend in a big city, have you?

The Explorers do have an engine brake that won't let you go over 100 mph though.Molly Weasley makes Chuck Norris eat his vegetables.
