I was curious what you guys thought about job odds applying to a larger city department, or small town departments? Part of me thinks big city = more job opportunities, thus better odds if you apply. Then again, they may get a larger pool of applicants, and it's a wash. A small town maybe only gets a handful of applicants, but perhaps a quiet little town is a desirable location, and maybe has more experience officers hoping to get something a bit more low key? Then of course there is county and state level jobs to consider...
I have a four year psych degree, and so far have applied to a couple of each, with no luck so far. I don't have state board certification for a LE job, perhaps that is holding me back? (Perhaps that's the most obvious statement ever made?) However I thought that was something you could get after a job offer, want ads can be surprisingly vague about that. Any insight would be appreciated.
