I saw they were hiring again. Not applying again.

Can't get hired if you don't try though, right? Might be worth a giving a whirl....when I was trying to break into the business, I was in the paper every day and applied everywhere around, even places that said they required POST certification, just in case they wanted to make an exception for me.

^^^^^ that....I had apps in from Smithville to Peculiar to Olathe.....my current agency took me 2 times. Dont give up...get in ANYWHERE to get your "feet wet" and gain experience, then, if that agency isnt for you, apply elsewhere with the experience.

I'm staying with the feds, not applying for locals anymore.

What's BPA that you've applied for? I was thinking Bureau of Prisons, but I thought that was abbreviated BOP or something.

Border Patrol Agent. I already work for the BOP.

Smithville

Fun town....I know the Chief and he lets them play....

Very, very active town for a LEO.....those guys are always getting into it..... If I had to come back to MO....I'd work there in a hearbeat..... Same with a couple of other small towns that have huge support from the town and actually pay decent wages and give them decent equipment.....

It gets crazy up there.... even without lake traffic...... They seem to draw every knucklehead in the world to the QuikTrip up there.....and the surrounding area.....

They (SPD) doesn't have the lake.....they have Clay County Park Rangers there. Fully sworn LEOs that work for Clay County. SPD gets called out there though because those guys seem to always need back-up when there is a fight and they show up to break it up... and everyone turns on the Poo-Leece....
