@ the camel and item9
thanks for the good feedback guys. @camel : awkward may have been the wrong word, this is the reason forums get so messy and argumentative. what i should have said is that i dont think that any one of the young men i had to test with went into that test thinking that they were going to be a racist crooked cop. it was a lot of young men and women some of which looked fresh out of their first year at college of dupage. lol. im just not entirely sure it was necessary. some of the things that were said really did come off as a sort of "bash" on new guys that havent even gotten the job yet. if any of this makes any sense. Now what im about to say is a person opinion...im not speaking for anyone else that was there. but when the rookie spoke about his time at maywood, and the female officer got up and stomped all over what he said. that, for me, was AWKWARD. That man was asked by his chief to get up and speak about his time, and he did so, with his own views and opinions. And his superior got up and made him look like a biased ***. And she had her own reasons, thats fine. im not judging. but thats my opinion.
@item9: yeah to reiterate i didn't want to make slower suburban policing seem lame or boring. but id be lying if i said i wouldn't rather work for a department with a..."higher tempy". thats just me though. the environment i'm used to working in is austere and fast paced. ive said it before and ill say it again, i havent the slightest clue what civilian police departments entail. so keep that in mind. here...to put it simply...in the service we had grunts and POG's (pronounced "pogues", which stands for Persons Other than Grunts). grunts bash on POG's, let me rephrase, we respectfully bash on POGs...lol...if that makes any sense. I gather from this thread that its not really the same for civilian police.
now with all that said, looks like i have some more time between contracts for work...which is a little scary, i dont like to be between contracts for too long. but hopefully ill get some kind of feedback from maywood in the meantime. thanks for info on the time frames. very helpful.
