Starting my second police career!

[Lawdog138]

There are some strange people that are interested in a LE career who come on here. Only your mom and sister are your friends? Okay Bubble Boy.

I’m not doing a true FTO program due to my prior LE experience, but I am assigned to a FTO to learn the way this department does things compared to the way my prior agency does things, which are quite different. I also have to learn their MCT or MDT and it’s programs (which I’m learning by being...

FTO was nothing like this with the NYPD. FTO’s throwing trainees equipment out the car? $hit, all that equipment would be gone with the first bounce off the concrete (Bronx bounce). Though we were a rookie, we were one of them. We were cops.

My FTO was 6 months on a foot post with my...

I come from the NYPD where the department eagerly seeks to find ways to hurt their own. Can only go up from there.

Aidokea, 200 times without a doubt falls into the regular user category. How does the OP know he only used 200 times? Maybe he used 400 times or even more. That’s like me keeping track every time I had a buzz from drinking some beer. I just don’t see any police department hiring someone who admits...

Aidokea the effects of marijuana wear off after several hours. For occasional users THC will stay in your system for a few days to a week and for heavy users, about a month. As I said, you’re not under the influence because there is THC in your system. The effects dissipate after a few hours.

The amount of traffic citations you have received in such a short period of time would disqualify you from many departments. You are a reckless driver, period. How many times didn’t you get caught speeding and etc?

Police departments will overlook minor marijuana use as experimental....

That sig was solely for that department, but fixed it....

Started last week in a new police department after retiring 20 years from another agency. It is a strange and overwhelming thing learning how another police department operates, even in the way they write their reports. Have to learn a new computer system, understand their report programs, how to process...

Apparently you didn’t pay them enough. You need to up your game....

[Lawdog138]

I was wondering the exact same thing, why a conditional offer prior to a polygraph and background investigation. The conditional offer is usually contingent on passing the psych and medical. Once that’s complete, final offer is given.

My guess was also something in the background they...

[Lawdog138]

I was never a background investigator, but if I was, I would want to see that the candidate is human. If things look too perfect, that would raise red flags for me. I want to see that you made some bad decisions and mistakes in your life. I want to see that you’re a human being that is flawed like...
