Good things-- 2 yrs exp. with nypd, excellent activity

Heard two former NYPD are in the academy now. Because of them, I would keep that to yourself.

I've read that they won't invest any time or effort into anyone that doesn't live in the city limits while processing. However, the website states that you can complete all the processing but you won't be hired until after you have been a resident for a year. Strange...

It all depends on just how bad your credit is. Additionally, if you can explain what happened, it may help. I will check with one of the guys who does the backgrounds to find out. But unfortunately, that won't be until sometime next week.

I appreciate in advance anyone on the job can give me some insight. I have some questions about getting into the PA state police. First off I recently resigned from the NYPD after 2 years with them. I wasnt forced to resign, I did it on my own. While on the job I had a few commendations and a stellar record and repor with my bosses. I was active and the whole nine yards yada yada... We all know NY is quite an expensive state, so while there I got into some financial issues causing my current less then perfect credit, which I am in the process of repairing. I move back to philadelphia where I am from and am now trying to get on with the PA state police (and the philadelphia police department) My question to any pa troopers or anyone offereing insight is this... will my bad credit dq me...
