Rather Leanient Requirements???

[mikeyd2006399]

Is anyone in here a whichita officer, I was just doing some bored web browsing and saw their home page. I would say that their Auto DQ requirements are very, very leanient. I was pretty amazed.

Which aspect(s) do you find to be lenient?

[mikeyd2006399]

-No convictions of morals, drugs or weapons charges in the past five years.
-No convictions of misdemeanor crimes of violence, or use of physical force or threat thereof, during the preceding five years.
-No convictions, diversions, or expungements of DUI during the past two years.
-No more than two moving violation convictions, or being at fault in more than one traffic accident during the past twelve months.
-No undetected illegal misdemeanor drug possession or use in the past two years.
-No undetected commissions of misdemeanor crime of violence, or use of physical force or threat thereof, during the past five years.

Basically you can be the worst human possible, as long as it was five years ago and it wasnt a felony, you can ligitamatly submit an application. Whether you get hired or not im sure is a different story but why give people false hope.

Are you asking us if you qualify?

[mikeyd2006399]

LOL, I knew you were gonna dog me out valor, but no, just making an observation. My applying days are in the past.

Minimum requirements are not meant to be just met they are meant to be exceeded. If your drug conviction was 6 years ago not, not within the 5 years, and everyone else in the process has never had a drug conviction--who is going to get the job?

I know you are not posing the question of "Do I have a chance with these requirements?" but, I just wanted to inform people who read this and think, "man, I could do it because my DUI was 3 years ago".

And I 100% agree with you, which is the reason why I made this post, because an uneducated person would believe its worth a shot with the way their requirements page is written.

If you add in:

-No ability to spell "lenient" is required.

then I think you have a chance.



:D

Do NOT think for one second that if you...

HAVE had a conviction of morals, drugs or weapons more than 5 years ago

OR
HAVE had a conviction of Misd. Crimes of violence more than 5 years ago

OR
HAVE had a DUI conviction more than 2 years ago

OR
HAVE had 3 moving vio convictions or been at fault at 2 crashes more than 12 months ago.

OR

HAVE used drugs more than 2 years ago

OR
HAVE been involved in Misd Crimes of violence but not caught more than 5 years ago ...

...that you are somehow equal to a person who has had NONE of these problems !! You aren't and it could take a considerable amount of time to overcome such background problems.

Agreed. But you guys on here are so used to the "Can I become a cop question" you are missing my question. Obviously they wouldnt be hired. So why let them submit an application????? It wastes time, gives false hope, and really imo to see this on the webpage of a department doesnt look good for the department, It looks like their officers could have the same problems as joe smoe civilian and he is still working as a cop.

Those of us in Kansas, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.:rolleyes:

Of course, most of us wouldnt work in Wichita for any reason:p

Departments do not give their applicants false hope. After reading the requirements you should ask yourself wether you meet or exceed them. That way you won't waste your time or the departments'.
