Ottawa PD hiring criteria

[kansascop72]

I have applied for the Ottawa PD and received a response from HR. They have given me a questionnaire that asks about my credit history. My question to anyone who works for or has worked for Ottawa PD is how much attention is given to someone’s credit.
Like many I, along with my credit, have been hit hard in this economy. Other than that, I have nothing in my background that will disqualify me from being hired. I have been a police officer for 11 years and meet all the other requirements.

Times are hard nobody is really holding that against you. It is the irresponsible stuff, when you clearly go into something over your head. When you blow off your bills, when you dont make arrangements, when you ignore creditors, and when you walk away from obligations. Own your mistakes and whatever you do DONT LIE. I dont have a crystal ball and cant predict the future. Stick to the truth, own your mistakes, and make it obvious that you are trying to stay on top of your stuff and you should be fine.
