San bernadino county is taking forever

>>33398118

>>33398141

>>33398118

>>33398164

>Apply to Philadelphia PD last August
>Get told to show up to a PT exam a year later
>Take off work to go to interviews and stuff
>Fail first psych, pass the 2nd
>Application goes to the board
>Get rejected, investigator says it's because of my age and short job history

Fuck, time to apply to be a trooper and deputy.

Thinking of applying for maricopa SWAT

>>33398328
You don't get to go just straight to SWAT, you have to do at least one year minimum as on patrol, and get off probation.

>>33398343
Ah, alright

>>33398279
Obvisouly....but they are constantly hiring, " I at least want to know "HEY NO THANKS MAN"

>mfw grandfather and dad both became police officers without degrees
>mfw I need a degree in criminal justice and post college work history related to criminal justice degree in order to be considered after applying
>mfw can't afford college and don't want to take out student loans
Why the fuck are more and more police precincts doing this? Why can't it just be like the old days?

>>33398328
You have to get into the department first, then get selected for the unit...

>tfw game wardens in my state require a Master's degree in a hard science before they can even apply
>tfw even after graduating BLET they have to take an additional 30 semester hours of conservation science classes on their own dime through a nationally accredited college within the state, and online classes are specifically disallowed (which restricts it to 2 universities, both of which are private and charge $20,000+ per semester)

>>33398388
I share this problem, like shit.

>>33398169
You clearly haven't been to Iowa or South Carolina then.

>>33398169
>He doesn't know about the anti-faggot attrition barrier of Texas

>>33398198
Not everywhere. For example, where I live, we have
>city police
>township police
>county police
>sheriff's department
>state police
all with primary jurisdiction over the same area. Don't ask me why we have separate county police and county sheriff's dept, but we do. Also the county police commissioner is appointed by the governor and not elected.
>tfw technically also have postal cops and railroad police with primary jurisdiction too since we're a regional distro hub and have a fucknormous train yard

>>33398401
>game wardens
>Master's degree in a hard science
What the fuck.
For what purpose?

>>33398462
I'm assuming because they want to keep applications down and because game wardens actually do a lot of conservation and aren't *just* police.

Alternatively because my state sucks cock and fuck you that's why.

>>33398316
That's stupid. How old are you?

>>33398500
19 when I applied, 20 when I got rejected, and almost 21.

It's pretty disheartening to go through such a long process and ultimately gain nothing from it. In retrospect I should have applied to a few different municipalities.

What's the pay for being a homicide detective?

>>33399190
Most departments don't have dedicated homicide detectives. Those that do pay them anywhere from $50k to $110k (plus OT).

>tfw applying for RI state police in a few months

Can't wait for my badass uniform.

>>33399556
Why do police still have those dumb looking knee high boots?

>>33398388
I was under the impression i only needed to go to acad. Or is it only specific places you need college?
