Take the ASVAB. If you don't score high enough on it you may not be eligible for it.

Take what the recruiters tell you with a grain of salt.

I don't know anything about this program but knowing the army it's probably not what you think it will be.

Good luck Col....

I'm a former MP. Most of the people I hear say that military policing is nothing like civilian policing never was a MP.

Certainly the laws, policies and vernaculars are different between the 2. However the basic fundamentals are all the same.

My training and experience,...

[westside popo]

Don't know your department. It may be or it may not be normal for them. They can always cancell the polygraph.

Why you scared you'll flunk the interview?...

[westside popo]

Have you considered part time or reserve? That way you can keep your current job and try policing. Though you'll have carefully plan and pay for the academy.

[westside popo]

I would apply to other departments.

I got one of those letters once and about a year later, they called me and asked if I was still interested. I took the job but looking back it wasn't a good fit....

[westside popo]

YOU'RE IN to the end now!

Sorry last ONE.

Seriuosly congratulations! Good luck!

For Georgia:

*Reckless Driving

*Obedience to Signal Indicating Approach of Train



Use some of these terms and search the web for Texas laws.

Here they would have suspended your registration. Probably wouldn't know it until you drive by an officer with a license plate reader.

Most of the suspended registrations I've seen had to do with insurance. People not paying their insurance, cancelling the insurance while their vehicle...

That's just something that's good to keep with you. I don't normally ask for it unless there was a discrepancy in GCIC/NCIC.


For example: I've had situations were insurance companies got the VIN wrong. Without a copy of the registration and insurance card I wouldn't be able to verify...

FWIW
I knew someone with a similar background. He didn't get hired by the agency he applied.

Yet another one, who got arrested for it, did get hired by another agency. But that agency was always hurting for help.

Both had a humble attitude.

[westside popo]

That doesn't look good!

I couldn't recommend you much less spend the money to send you through the academy.

Maybe your only chance is to self sponsor and apply at a department needing a warm body.

But I would think long and hard about it! That's a lot of money...

Go to the South Carolina section. Might get a better response.

[westside popo]

Sometimes it can help, sometimes it won't make a difference. I knew some that self sponcered their way through the academy.

Wasn't too impressed with any of them....

[westside popo]

Having a "clean record" is good but it doesn't give the whole picture. It could mean you were a law abiding citizen or you were just good at not getting caught.

No one is perfect! But under the circumstances you presented here it doesn't look good for you.

They way...

[westside popo]

Moral character!

So you wanted to be a cop groing up, majored in "CJ," played football and then tried marijuana. You couldn't get alone with your coach and you failed an intro class.

Failing a class is not red flag by it self.

What does concern me is...

[westside popo]

Just found a YouTube video of someone interviewing the alleged founder of Oath Keepers. He's trying to organize training for the militia and 3 percenters.

Apparently you can group them together! My bad.

[westside popo]

That's just an average time frame for a background. Some places can get them done a lot quicker. It just depends on the department, your background and how in depth they go with it....

[westside popo]

I wouldn't put Oath Keepers in the same lot as the militia and 3 percenters.

I lived in the south my entire life, except the time I spent over seas in the army. I believe it's changed a LOT in my life time....

[westside popo]

OP, talk to the medical doctor doing the exams. See what they say....

[westside popo]

Body language analysis isn't so reliable. I didn't watch the entire video but the part at the beginning, the analyst comments about her opening and closing her mouth. She says it neurologic etc. That could be true but if she has severe sinus problems she may have to breath through her mouth.
