(Please move this thread, if I put it in the wrong forum.)

Is there anyone on this board that is employed by the HPD or familiar with it?

I have done my research on the department and spoken with recruiters (they have an outstanding recruiting dept.) and feel that while it won't be the only Dept. I apply at, it will be 1st and I'm looking forward to applying in the next week or so. I am looking to forward to potentially making a difference in the community. I'm well versed (sp?) as far as the application process, just some random question concerning the Dept.

Houston is a COPPS type of Dept., correct?

Thanks in advance.

As well as any advice for the application process and (god willing) the academy?

From one Illinois person to another, Texas is great. Although I'm with Dallas, Texas is definatly a Police Officer's state when compared to others.

I can't speak about Houston, but I know Dallas is top notch. Best of luck.
