Question for recruiter/experienced officer please.

[noelchabanel]

Honestly, as fishy as this situation sounds at face value, these days almost everyone has direct deposit. It might take me a month or two to notice a discrepancy like that in my bank statement. And I know I had one employer that developed a habit of "discovering" supposed misconduct only among the highest paid, longest serving hourly employees and then firing them...always during periods with disappointing sales, and often a few months before a manager would be fired for some sort of fraud. So, it's not totally improbable. By the way, the former CEO was fired himself, and is now begging for a federal bailout for his new employer:mad::mad::mad:

But anyway, like I said, it sure sounds odd...I know I'd scrutinize something like that very closely if I was a background investigator.......

You have alot of scrapes that may have been able to be overlooked a year or two ago however with the economic downturn alot of people are turning to LE as a potential stable career. More applicants are applying and you will find it difficult to compete with other applicants without your dings.

disregard...will send private...

You are the reason I want to go into LE. That is exactly what I feel happened. I was the 2nd highest paid in my office, and the 1st was to valuabe to lose. I am not make accusations, which is why I did not state that in the fourm. Do you think I should put that "out there" when I start applying? If not, how do I approach this???

Thank you so much for your reply. I may ask you questions in the future if you don't mind.

You can ask whatever you like, but just so everyone is clear on this: I'm not an officer. I want to be, but I'm not just yet; I'm still just an applicant awaiting a phone call and hoping the budget committee is generous enough to make this my lucky year .

If you lie, it's over permanently. Just tell them the truth and see what happens. Whatever situation you find yourself in, maintaining your integrity is always the right answer.

The wife is an issue. The biggest thing that gets cops jammed up are women. Unstable women can snap their finger, and instead of you being joe blow who nobody cares about, now you're a cop and you're on the 6 o'clock news. I'd take a good long look at your relationship with her and figure out if it's something you want to take with you into a job like this. The department hiring you certainly will

I could compare the "double dipping" via computer to double posting on this forum... I know how easy it is to do accidentally... especially if you have a slow connection. QUOTE]

Great; it was no accident, I posted them both intentionally. I should not have done that. I apologize to you, and I have privately apologized to the moderator. Newbie mistake.

I won't do it again.

:confused:

I'm saying that I have accidentally double clicked on this site which resulted in a double posting...or clicked again when I thought the first one didn't go thru.

I could easily see that happening on a website on which you "self pay" and would be surprised if it didn't happen regularly, even among the most honest of employees.

I had no idea that you posted this twice... but consider yourself as having a finger shook at you... ;)

I didn't address the bankruptcy in my previous post but I'll address it now. A bankruptcy is very bad in the hiring process. This is especially true if it's recent (yours is). Bankruptcies and credit issues are looked at on a case by case basis, so the department will examine your credit report and the court records from the bankruptcy filing.

I find it a bit interesting that you had the money to spend $100,000 on a wedding, yet you didn't have enough money to set up a payment plan with creditors to pay the medical bills without declaring bankruptcy. Again, the department will find out from your previous employers about your salary information and will also review your bankruptcy filing. They will make the determination whether or not the bankruptcy filing was unavoidable or whether or not they feel that you should have had the income to pay the debt. Either way, the bankruptcy will be a big negative.
