Hello Officers,
In December of 2004 I took the exam for the local PD back home. I just graduated from College in PA (the local PD I'm referring to is in NY) and after months of waiting I was sent a letter in May stating I passed the exam and that they wanted me to take the physical portion of it. I already had plans for a wedding in place for July (been married a month so far and very happy!) so I informed them that I would not be able to attend. My wife and I decided to get married now for a variety of reasons. My wife still has another year left of College (same one I attended) and so we are staying in the area until she finishes. She only has one class this fall and then student teaching in the spring. My question for you is if passing the exam puts me on a list that will allow me to be waived from it in the future if they decide to hire again, or if I would have to re-take the exam should they offer it in the future?
I am still very much interested in law-enforcement but since I am now a resident of PA, I don't know if I am even eligible for the department since I am no longer living in NY. I wouldn't mind re-taking the exam or even applying for an agency here in PA since I have patience and I am waiting for (our) life to be in order first before I go head first into this type of work. Do you think I should have gone about this in a different way? What do you think?
Your comments are appreciated.
Stay safe out there,
