Just wanted to say hello to all the LE officers out there on the forum. I had a few questions, just like all new possible recruits.
I have taken a few police / FD exams and have done great on them (upper 98th %), i have not yet "pulled the trigger" on joinning as I currently am self employed for the last few years. I am 23 years old with a clean record other than a dwai zero tolerance at 18 (satified, all cleared up - young and stupid .07bac (2-3 beers). Leaving scene of accident (dropped, concluded it was mis understanding, have court satisfaction/disposition).
Have had a clean record since then, no trouble except a speeding ticket, and an open container in the city with a few.. belive it or not, cop friends (only one that got the ticket).
Drug background, never used anything - had tried marijuana when younger - once or twice, hard to remember really - do like a few beers with the guys on the weekends, or a few glasses of wine with the woman.
My question to all of you, existing officers is - I have been very successful with self employment, but fear job security/pension and medical/dental. Law enforcement has always been a passion for me - and I see myself as "part of the team" in the future..
Because of my past, will their be issues? I am a very open, honest and talkative, clean cut man, with over 3,000 clients as references as well as history of donations from my company to over 15 organizations in the area etc etc.
How do they evaluate officers? Am I material for the job? as for phyiscally fit, I have never been better as well. I am looking forward to taking tests and applying outside of New York, as the NYPD as well cannot meet my salary requirement at the time.
To sum it up, I will just number the questions as Im sure half of you already cut out on my thread for being boring,
1) Is this a possible character for police work?
2) Is my past ok? (dwai, beer ticket, speeder)
3) Does my past resume, and current conditions leadership/dominate sales(people) skills help me in the interview?
4) Thanks for your time - I know you are busy. And i appreciate everyone of you serving this great country. Thanks.
