credit problems?

[DestinationZack]

I've been wanting to apply either for the LAPD or LASD but the thing that is holding me off is my credit. My credit isn't the best, and I know I have a few bad points, one thing I am prompt with and have not messed up on is my car loan. There are a few other things that are not as good. Do I have any chance? Thanks

There are several threads relating to this subject, in fact, there are more than several. A search of the site will allow you to probably have your questions answered. Your best bet would be to contact a BI (background investigator) and speak to him/her. They would be best suited to answer as different departments take different approaches to these things.

Let me suggest you go to www.policebackground.net. This is a privately maintained website which deals with the LAPD hiring process. Many issues are discussed, including those dealing with credit. I believe you'll find it very informative.
