Good luck! Remember, spirit of the law and letter of the law... don't be so wound up and lose a sense of who you were before you donned the uniform. Don't go making statements that make yourself seem holier than thou... a badge and gun don't make you, you're decisions and how you carry yourself while in uniform are what people see. Don't be a hypocrite, and don't lose yourself. End of rant

It'll be hard getting special guns, since you would need a special letter of ok from the chief, at least in the city. Most of all fat discounts for leo My buddy is sfpd I'm jealous and makes bank on o.t.

Best of luck with it, but keep in mind nothing is for sure and there is plenty of competition out there so be careful not to be overconfident.

Good luck bro and congrats!! It helps is you have some pull with someone in a department. It is tough out there to get a law enforcement job even with a post. I have couple friend with clean ass backgrounds, and POST certs and they cant find shit. Make sure you graduate at the top of your class, that will make it easier.

I've been thinking about this on and off for the past few years too. I have a couple boys that are sfpd and a buddy of mine is going through the process right now. Only thing that really makes me think twice is I have a young family and my current job pays decent and is pretty much easy money. But the excitement factor of being a cop has always gone through my mind which is why I'm always thinking about it.

Good luck with it and just remember who you were before you became a cop. A lot of people change entirely after getting sworn in and they become dicks!

Don't mean to be a bubble burster but you don't just become a cop over night. You still got to have basic grammar skills, pass back ground, physical and of course the psychological. Depending on how much there hurting to fill positions those cards you have to play will come in handy. I'm just trying to be real and not insult you. I like your enthusiasm and you'll need to keep that positive spirit the whole way.

---

+1 - Agreed.

I know a few folks that are in and it wasn't easy by all means. Everything goes smooth until your BI (backgroung investigator) comes in contact with you. You'll know what i mean when you meet your BI.

Goodluck and wish you the best

Cops are being laid off all over the state. LEO jobs are scarce right now. If an agency has a vacancy they will hire laterals before an academy graduate.

A good buddy of mine is on his 4th department in 2 years having been laid off from 3 different agencies due to continuing budget cuts. It's not getting better anytime soon.

Good luck.

Remember there is a lot more to it than just passing the academy. I know a few people who have and still couldn't get on due to issues in their background or not passing the psych test. Good luck tho man.
