Questions about Hiring.

[Kolchak]

About five years ago, I resigned from one of the largest Sheriff's Departments in the US after about ten years of service and relocated to another state.

I was thinking of getting back into law enforcement, but aren't sure about my chances.

My traffic record isn't perfect--I've got one ticket for speeding (from 1994), and two for no insurance (one from 1996, and the other from 2002). In both of the insurance cases, I had an accident with no insurance after letting my insurance lap for a month or less. But, I paid off the damages on both cases, and besides that...my driving record is clean except for very minor stuff like a few parking tickets.

My credit isn't great, but I'm completely debt free as of now. I had a couple of small judgements, and had a couple of accounts (credit cards) turned over to collections, but I worked my tail off and paid off everything.

I've never had a problem with drugs or alchohol or domestic violence, or any of that. And my record on the job was clean--the only suspensions I ever had was one three-day bit for misconduct, and a couple for calling in sick with no medical time.

What are my chances of getting back on with a department in my new home state?

5 years ago= 2003
10 years of service= beginning your LE career in 1993.

That means that WHILE YOU WERE A COP, you got a speeding ticket and had two uninsured accidents.

That does not bode well.

Citocop.

It also means that if you were a cop for ten (10) years, then you could answer your own questions. No need to ask us if you could be hired. :rolleyes:

It seems you should know the answer already. Why don't you just tell us where it was you worked, and what constituted the misconduct.

A 3 day suspension while already hired in some type of LE field is NOT a good thing.

Also you're at least 36 (21 + 10 years working + 5 years after), you might be too old for most jobs. You are in NY unless you have military.
