hahahaha, all that bullshit just to make a massive 29K a year, great.

You live in the south right?  Like I said, Its easier down there to get picked up for this job in the South.  Also much less $$$  Else where Cops make good money.  Trust me its WAY more than 29k a year.....  

And remember.....
Next time you are in trouble, call a crackhead!

Yeah in the US the pay is pretty low for cops. Here in Canada the starting salary for an RCMP officer is $62,000. Then it goes up to $65,000 after your 90 day evaluation. Add yearly raises + lots of overtime and you can make alot of money doing it. Plus the schedules are pretty good... one female officer I know works 4 on 4 off... a couple others do 2 on 1 off etc...

What do you do for a living Quaker?

I live in WA state.  Comparable salaries...  And take home cars (dont have to pay for gas, maintenance, etc) Depending on where you work you can call on AND off duty in your driveway (no commute time) and bennies and retirement, etc....

Yeah the guys here can't take the cruisers home on a normal day unless if they're in a special division or if they have overtime it's ok.

Not sure how it is in Canada but in the states its not like you can just say 'hhmmm, I think i would like to be a cop" and poof, it happens.....  Maybe in the south....  I know it is easier there.  Most places its like this..

Written test (usually need at least a 70% to pass)
Physical Agility Test (push ups, situps, 300 meter sprint, 1.5 mile run timed)
Oral Board Interview (usually consisting of 2-3 uniformed brass, and a HR person) a bit nerve racking!
Background check (criminal history, financial, etc)
Polygraph test
Psychological written test
Psychological interview
Chiefs interview

and THEN, IF you pass all that you get to go to an academy that lasts anywhere from 4-12 months depending on the agency and your location!!! 

Oh and then you have FTO time (field training) that you need to go through for 12 weeks with a supervising officer.

If you pass that you are on probation for a year. 

Then congrats!  Your an official Police Officer!



This is what I hear anyways.......

 

You forgot one thing that some cops and criminals have the same/identical physiological profile...so you don’t have to be perfect to end up a cop.  Some cops fall in the boat with politicians.  You can tell so many lies that they become the true to you.

This usually happens AFTER you are hired...........
