Well obviously SDPD does not consider you qualified to be a member of their department.
Most likely you have something in your background that is holding you back.....................it would take a complete investigation to know the reason.Since some people need to be told by notes in crayon .......Don't PM me with without prior permission.

I am just going to speculate that they are using your failure to register with Selective Service as a disqualifier. Irrespective of whether is was intentional, failure to register is still illegal and can serve as a basis for disqualification.
In reality, I suspect the true reason is that you've spent the majority of your life living outside the country. Doing a background under those circumstances is very difficult. SDPD doesn't have the personnel or financial resources to send someone on a globe trotting expedition. While local law enforcement in each country can be asked to perform the background on SDPD's behalf, it is unlikely it will be done to California POST or SDPD standards, nor is it likely to be completed in a timely manner. In addition, it will be necessary to pay to bring foreign investigating officers to the US to testify if disqualifying information is developed and the Background DQ is appealed.
In the long run its easier to find a quick and easy DQ factor on the applicant and move on to someone else.Going too far is half the pleasure of not getting anywhere

In your honest opinion, do you think that I stand a chance to be hired somewhere in California? I am looking at SDSD and CHP and maybe even Sacramento PD.
I tend to agree with L-1 that your chances are somewhere between slim and none. California has some VERY strict rules on how backgrounds are to be conducted .....(unlike most other states)..............and that places some restrictions on the agency as to how much $$$$$ they are willing to shell out to complete an investigation.
Competition as it is (extremely competitive job title) there are simply more than adequate numbers of EASILY completed BI's out there so why would the agency spend big bucks on you.
Also understand the there are a large percentage of candidates that get washed out in the Background phase. That makes it even more cost effective to NOT spend an inordinate amount on you.

The strange thing though is that I had done a PIQ after PAT and after going through PIQ, BI would have found out that I had lived my entire life outside US. They still passed me on PIQ, assigned me a BI, asked me to get a GED from US. Once I got GED, BI asked me to submit PHS, and after going through phs, I was emailed stating that I'd soon be getting a call to schedule a BI interview/poly. Instead of the call I have DQ letter in mail, my question is that if they never intended to hire me then why pass me on PIQ and waste their time/resources on me?

Your question is better asked of the Agency which DQ'd or non selected you. However, that agency is very unlikely to give you a reason for your inability to move forward in the process. All of that leads to the replies which we have given you as a forum.
My "sense" is that the reasons suggested to you are 100% on the mark. I can't confirm that, I'm not interested in confirming that, but I'd bet the ranch that my colleagues have very accurately hit on the reason(s) you bombed.

It WOULD be an issue with my agency, PhilipCal's agency, just joe's agency and obviously L-1's agencySince some people need to be told by notes in crayon .......Don't PM me with without prior permission. If you can't discuss the situation in the open forum ----it must not be that important
