Nice to hear. Stay safe buddy.

I'm in my 2nd year of a business degree at uni 1 more year left then I'm going to apply for the aussie police force

Hope you have a safe and fantastic career in it.


also, why did you become a cop? do you have family to support? what is the starting pay?

What's your goal? Do you want to stay as a uniform cop? or do you want to specialise? Homicide, dog squad, swat, detective etc..

[NissanBBoy333]

How long did it take? How much is your starting salary?

[JustBulk]

Would you rep me and the next four posters?

What's your rank?

[TotalGymFreak]

Uphold the law OP
Don't become one of those fuked up cops who abuse their power (you'll get your comeuppance)

[shibby19]

City cop or not?

[TSFP]

Do you have a college degree? If so what kind of degree?

Love helping people. Even if it's just directions on how to get to the interstate. Plus it's my dads family. I always heard their crazy stories and always looked up to them and their friends.

shot/tazered any suckers yet?

Haven't had to pull my gun on anyone yet. I've only had to clear houses, so far.

[Searching4Truth]

have you seen end of watch? how eager are you to meet your new partner? are you hoping it's a chick? would you bang if she was hot? BJ's during patrol?

[plsbh]

Ever used dat der?

[younggun02]

Any college? Military? What else if anything?

[JM2412]

-Did you go to college? And if so, what was your major?
-Military background?

edit: Damn, strong q's brah ^^ lol

[OrganicMagician]

You think your a cop and helping people, but your are brain washed to incriminate people at all cost and put them in prison. I envy your passion but I farking hate your system and your job.

OM spreading the magic

[January912]

What would you do if you discovered other officers were stealing money out of evidence, despite the fact you'd only been on the force for a few months?

[BabyOilBrah]

Good for you bro, you finally did it.


(it's mm55 btw)

[Mercworx]

How many departments did you apply to before getting on? I've applied to 9 and have moved forward in the hiring process with 4.

Any unusual tidbits? Did you fail a polygraph or psych test with one department yet pass it with another? I've heard that.can be somewhat common.

Congrats btw

Thanks man, good luck. Keep your nose clean and stay out of trouble.

See my above post on why. I didn't have family support at first. They pretended like they were okay with it, but some of them actually tried to sabotage me at one point. Starting pay is 41,179 for certified folks.

I'd like to work for k9 unit and eventually SWAT. I wouldn't mind doing traffic and accidents, either.

How long did it take? How much is your starting salary?

I put myself through the academy in 2011 and I got hired on in August 2012. See above for salary.

Would you rep me and the next four posters?

What's your rank?

Maybe

Police Officer II

I hear that.

City cop or not?

County cop. We cover the unincorporated parts of the county.

Do you have a college degree? If so what kind of degree?

No degree. I have 1 year, though.

[KingArthur914]

After you took the police test, how long did it take them to grade/contact you?

[Burtle1]

Congrats!


I've applied to 10 small towns but they keep telling me no. They rather hire retired cops or full time cops as part time ones.

I'm on 1 big city hiring list but in hiring band 5 . I won't be getting a call. They are in hiring band 2, but only hiring 16 guys.


I test for another big city Oct. 20th.

I think during my orals I just failed...which is why they put me in hiring band 5.

Here in Illinois is tough. I don't know anyone which is why I keep getting turned down by small towns. At least that's what I've been told. Guess if you know the mayor or what not you'd be right in.

sucks because I'm almost 26 and I've wanted to do this since I was 8.


How long did it take for you to get hired on ?

County? city?



*Edit* I see you put yourself through the academy. You can do that here in Illinois but the written test/physical test is around 450.00

I can't risk paying that and not passing the written test..I only have a part time job at the moment so 450.00 for a test just isn't in the budget at the moment! Let alone another 3,000 for the rest of the academy IF i did get in.

[PolishSasquatch]

OP dont be a ***got and pull muscle cars over.

we just want to cruise, go find real crime.

[moorec614]

No questions, just saying congrats.
