Nicely done

I do not think he is far off. When you have lighter weight offset by higher speed. You can get a similar muzzle energy finding when having a heavier weight offset by lower speed.

However, with today's quality of ammunition being manufactured, especially in +P loads. I think you are threading...

SinCity, I did end up getting a firm offer from KCSO, but (un)fortunately for me, the flood gates of multiple offers hit me around the same time and I ended up moving back home to a dept in IL. EVERYTIME I read my paycheck stub, I kick myself in the tushy at the taxes I pay. I do have a buddy or too...

If you take a wonderlic exam and score a 20 that is considered a person to have average intelligence. If you have some common sense and common knowledge you will do just fine. I took it for King County sheriff and I scored a 31. I consider myself to be an averagely intelligent person. I'm nothing special....

Oh thanks a bunch. I think I'm ok here where I am for now. Do you guys have upper age limits for out of state LEO applicants? Trust me there are no hard feelings about the 86+ phase. It was what it was. I adapted, reacted, and overcame. Life has a funny way of working out.

A majority of the PD's in your area use either Public Safety or NTN for their entry-level tests. So once you pick your PD's and click submit, you are normally not allowed to send your scores to other PD's within a certain timeframe UNLESS the PD was not available or open at the time of original purchase....

If you train with freeweights, you will be ok with just about any machine out there. Trust me, I had to pump 300lbs when I got hired. It's not as hard as you think. Just train train train, and rep rep rep. You'll be ok....

Me personally, I advise the shotgun method of applying in LE. I sent test scores to about 40 ish departments in the PNW and nationwide. When I was getting out the Army, my unit was very accommodating to me as far as needing time off to go do a ton of interviews. I worked in LE and about 6 months prior...

I got hired in WA with a written score of 80 percent plus veteran preference. Just depends on the agency and number of applicants. I assume you are stationed at Bremerton or JBLM. You have some time left to get hired. Thanks for your service and good luck on getting hired....

Yes they respond to those incidents. However, they are most likely not the first to respond to those scenes. The local PD normally has to do the heavy lifting of arriving first on scene. Then the railroad PD will arrive (likely from far away) and finish the job. Some railroad police have it easy and...

I surely hope you do keep applying to other departments. Applying to more departments will increase your chances of getting hired.

[scotty_appleton814]

Somewhere between 5 to 10 percent of all ppl who apply get hired in to LE. some will tell you it`s close to 3 to 5 percent

[scotty_appleton814]

Damn good job done by those involved.

[scotty_appleton814]

Sounds like excuses. Just saying. Don't want to down you or anything. I know you may have a lot going on. But for your competition just know that some of them see applying for LE as a full time job. Good luck to you....

[scotty_appleton814]

Not exactly true about CPD getting more training when compared to suburbs. That is not always an apples to apples comparison. Please don't be one of those people who thinks that CPD is the end all be all of policing....

[scotty_appleton814]

Buddy I know from experience that if you are trying to get hired entry level and are qualified. You will be picked up by one of these departments near Federal Way. Everette all the way down to Olympia down the corridor will be hiring. So many departments across the country (and most likely up there...

Wow. From 2010-2014, that was my favorite television show. Pamela was a cop who married Chase and put her career on hold. Chase was a member of (commonly referred to as) Delta Force who eventually Pam asks him to step away from Delta because surprise surprise, he goes away often on missions. Eventually...

You are married. It is what it is. Fella, you gonna buck up or shut up. No use in being resentful about it. Communication is an issue in every relationship and that's what you have here. Also, this is not the website I would be on if I was looking for relationship advise, at least not while Dear Abby...

[scotty_appleton814]

I do have information I can share. We will be hiring 8-10 officers as soon as the list is published early Sept. Those candidates who are not certified cops will be split more likely between SLEA and PTI. Good luck. So those who applied and tested in May, those top applicants could be hired by Sept....

Yes most are 1 man units. That's why they call the locals for backup. Between municipal county or state, there is backup somewhere.
