As part of the hiring process you will be fingerprinted. Those prints will be sent to a few places to check on your criminal/arrest history. When they get to the state agency that maintains criminal histories, an entry will be made against your name along with the notation "Applicant". Even...

Yes. It is very easy to find out....

My state used to have a law specifically exempting doctors from the speed laws if they say tell us they are enroute to an emergency. Don't know if its is still on the books.

I suspect you are going to have problems.

This is an example of ortho standards that are common with many law enforcement agencies. http://lib.post.ca.gov/Publications/Musculo.pdf

I believe your condition is discussed in Chapter 15.

Print them out, take them...

Once bacon is outlawed, only outlaws will have...........oh, never mind.

Look carefully at the seal on this guy's badge and the wording on badge decal on the divider behind him. He's not a real cop.

I won't get into what he said, but I have concerns when people dress up like us and speak as if they are doing so on our behalf.

You might start by taking a hard look at the hiring bulletin for the agency you want to work with and seeing what it says about how they select people.

If it is an "at will" agency where you serve at the pleasure of the appointing authority, then what you've suggested might help....

Where I'm at, hiring is a little different from how notinmytown's agency does it.

We administer written and oral exams that measure your ability to actually perform the duties of the position you are seeking. The more correct answers you give, the higher your score. We then hire in the...

Most jobs do not empower you to deprive people of their property, their freedom and if necessary, their life. For that reason, we want to know exactly who we are entrusting that authority to, warts and all.

We want to know that they are honest, and that they care enough to be thorough,...

PhilipCal's wife, Nesta, has asked me to add the following about Phil's career and life history:

Hello L-1, This is Nesta Callahan. I would like for you to note in Philips past record that he after serving for the Las Vegas PD he went to Florida to the Police dept there, and he also helped...

Hello L-1, This is Nesta Callahan. I would like for you to note in Philips past record that he after serving for the Las Vegas PD he went to Florida to the Police dept there, and hw also helped to work on the Florida trains on his days off. Then he came to Alabama and joined the Alabama Capitol Police....

I really have to question this fixation we have about keeping the reason for background disqualifications confidential.

What is wrong with telling an applicant what it was in their history that failed to meet the standard for passing the background? What harm would befall the department...

I can't speak for LAPD, but this details the hearing standards most California agencies abide by and it explains the logic supporting those standards.

You cannot base a successful appeal on the fact that you really want the job,...

Two questions:

1. How are they going to find out? (Remember HIPA.)

2. If they somehow do find out, its debilitating enough that he cannot perform the duties of his position and it is not work related, there is no pension. It' just as if he lost his legs in an off duty traffic...

If you are diagnosed as being an imminent threat to yourself or others, notifications must be made. Other than that, its no one's business unless you sign a release. Only you know what's going on inside up there....

[L-1]

It all depends.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (Federal Law) you cannot be terminated unless your illness leaves you incapable of performing the functions of your position.

My first question is, given that the Health Information Practices Act (also Federal Law) prohibits...

Your time as an Explorer will have exposed you to knowledge and experience in law enforcement that may afford you the ability to give more correct answers to civil service questions and score higher than other applicants when testing for city, county or state positions. Most Fed hiring is by resume,...

Most city, county and state civil service agencies determine an applicant’s through competitive testing, where applicants are scored based on the number of correct answers they give to written and oral questions that measure their ability to actually perform the duties of the position they are seeking....
