Any good quality recommendations for an outter vest? something i wont have to wait 12+ weeks for maybe. Willing to pay a good amount

Oddly specific question, but I'm just curious.

Hello! I’m currently in the hiring process for a police officer. This is will be my first ever interview with a department and I’m nervous. I was just wondering if there are any tips that you guys could give me to prepare? What stands out to them?

Say you’re chasing someone you suspect is carrying something, and they have nothing when they’ve been caught, would you search the area?

A gun would be easy enough to find but a bag of coke etc. could easily be chucked away right.

Does anyone know if a Corrections Officer in another state would start at a higher salary in a Florida Agencies academy?

I know some state such as TX this is the case so just curious if the same is for FL Thanks.

I have a few questions regarding their academy specifically as I’m set to start within a few weeks if there are any DPD officers here.

Hey everyone. I’m not sure if anyone can speak or has been through the NYSP Academy recently but I am looking to get some info on what the PT is like. I’ve been training 6 days a week by running 3-4 days doing 2-4 miles and doing weights on the runs days and doing calisthenics consistenting of pushups sit-ups burpees mountain climbers and leg lifts on the days I don’t run. Does anyone have any info on whether this is similar to what I could experience in the NYSP Academy or if I need to add more to what I already do. Thanks

Anyone with this department?

Morale? Money (overtime?)? Rotating day and night?

So this cop where I work as a jailer in Michigan brings a guy in. Cop is heated talking about how the guy ghosted him while running and then parked on the other side of the hill. Long story short dude avoided arrest until today. So the cop brings him in and insists I preform a full body cavity search on this cat. I refused because I was afraid I would violate his 4th amendment. I’ve only been a jailer for 3 months I need advice. Thanks ladies and gentlemen.

Is it natural for when you’ve completed everything needed , even got your conditional offer for them to take a while to get back to you on official start date?

I applied to an agency, got this letter and was curious if this letter is end all be all as far as trying to be a law enforcement officer?

“applicants may be disqualified or removed from any list for:

• Failure to meet current recommended, or as amended from time to time, California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training Job Dimensions and/or Pre-employment.”

In the firearms community, it’s widely accepted that shooting without proper hearing protection, especially indoors, can cause permanent hearing damage. However it seems that practically no LE involved shootings include hearing protection. That said, I’ve read accounts from law enforcement officers mentioning that, in the heat of the moment with adrenaline pumping, they often don’t notice the noise at all.

There’s also the question of context, it is much louder firing a rifle caliber indoors compared to a 9mm pistol outside.

I’m curious about the long-term effects of this. Do many LEOs involved in shootings report hearing loss?

I live in Ark applying in Washington State for personal reasons. My question is would it be too much to ask my BI if they have any spots open in the department so I can go ahead and move ahead of time to get acclimated to the new city/state or if that's even possible

Basically, about a month ago I witnessed a bad car crash while driving home though was unable to stop due to mixture of shock over what happened. I called 911 via blutooth to report the crash and what I saw as I behind the both cars when it happened. What would be the correct way to find out what ended up happening to the drivers? I tried searching news stories in the area of the crash but found well nothing. So I thought I would ask here.

I had my oral psych interview, and after the 900 T/F questions there was maybe 30 you answered with a simple sentence. One was “One thing my friends don’t know about me is” and I was blank trying to think of something, so I just wrote “Im afraid of talking to women”. The psychologist asked me to explain my answer and my response was “My friends think just because I have a lot of muscle I’m super self confident in talking to girls and just going up to them”. I realize after hearing them say my answer I could have put something less juvenile sounding like “I want to visit our national parks” or similar.

Hello all! Finally got my start date for December 16th for my department after a very long 7 month hiring process.

With that being said there are items that they recommend I buy and I was wanting to see what you all recommend.

-Boot socks
-Moisture wicking shirts

If these items are just a “hey get them on amazon” kinda things that’s fine! Just wanted to see if anyone had any die hard recommendations.

You have to tell me

I just submitted an application I'm familiar with my states' version of them texas state troopers but is it a good, bad agency to work for? Can anyone provide any insight to them?

I understand I misspelled State

Does anyone know of any decent printing companies to order department custom off duty apparel? (I.e. hoodies, quarter zips etc.)

I’m a 23 year old woman currently in community college narrowing down a career path. Forensics and criminal investigation is my passion and my absolute dream job would be a detective. I understand the importance of being a patrolman before being promoted to detective, however I’m a little self conscious that I wouldn’t be a good enough cop.

I am 5’0 95lbs. Yes. That’s very petite. Most people assume I’m a teenager as I also have a baby face. I am in no way physically intimidating. This makes me worried to go on patrol.

While I have many personality traits that I think would align with police work, I fear my physical traits just write off any ability to achieve my dream.

Have any of you had experience working alongside a LEO of smaller stature? Is it worth trying to go this route? Do you think there’d be any advantages to being my size as a policewoman?

Any advice would be appreciated!!!!

Hey all,

Just curious if anyone knows any departments in the Midwest or the South that do steady shifts, as in always days or nights etc. I currently live in Canada (I am an American) and my wife and I are looking to move back to the US. We have a 4 month old son and a consistent shift is vital for me right now.

I was just non-selected after making it to the final stage in Kentucky. I’ve been a CO for 9 years now, on the recruit training team, I’ve never been arrested, no drugs, a 3 speeding tickets between 5-15 years ago.

Any suggestions on departments would be appreciated!

Went out Thanksgiving Eve, friend had too much to drink and kept trying to wrestle me, which he eventually did by taking me down in the back on asphalt. After we got up I shoved him away and he punched me in the face and I have a black eye.

What do I do?

I also don’t want him to get in trouble, as much as I’m stressing losing the position, I know he had too much to drink.

How’s everyone doing? I recently was hired by a LE agency here in VA.

Coming from federal and a waiver request was submitted to DCJS at the end of October. Does anyone have any experience with the waiver process and a typical timeline on how long it takes.

Just trying to get an idea cause the full academy is end of January vs lateral in April.

TIA.

I’m a CCL holder and am wanting learn more about the use of deadly force in my state (TX).

Is there also any other things I should be studying in regards to using lethal force or conceal carrying?

Can a Municipal cop arrest/issue tickets for minor infractions if they witness them outside of their jurisdiction? Eg: Cop for CITY ABC witnesses a moving violation, but it happens in an unincorporated area of XYZ County and not covered by any other municipality. For examples sake, lets say it was 10 over the limit and occurred just a block over from their area. No other relevant factors to account for though. (Conditions, traffic, pedestrians, etc)

Sorry, writer here... In a fatal car accident, what occurs immediately after. Right from when the police is called, what's the first thing that happens? Who is called? What happens to the body? Just work me through the process?

Hello all! I just got the email today that I passed my first interview and pellet b test for my local department. I’m currently filling out my background investigation packet and stuck on what I should put for my neighbors’ info. My neighborhood is very quiet and have never seen any of my neighbors. I don’t know any of them and have seen them probably a total of about ten in the 4 years I’ve lived here. I’m going to call the sergeant in charge tomorrow about this and was wondering how this would look to someone looking at my packet.
