Hello Everyone

[way2go]

I have been working security at a local bar in my town and they have been paying me cash.I only took the job because I needed some extra cash for school,I have applied to about 100 jobs and no luck.I am very worried that this will get me DQ'ed from working as a police officer.What can I do to make this wrong right?I know that if I do not include the job in the employment section of the Application I can get caught and never be allowed to apply again.So my question is has anyone on here ever experience a similar situation or know someone who has?Please I have never been in trouble with the law and becoming a police officer has been a lifelong dream,Have a great day!

Im not sure what your recourse would be but a good startwoul be to declare your extra income on your taxes this year.

P.S. as for not being able to find a job I am sure you could have found a part time job for a little extra cash, it may not have been what you wanted but mickey d's is always hiring.

So i can declare the income even if I do not have a job other than the one paying cash?

Yes, though we're not accountants or employees of the IRS, so the specifics of how you do this is not something a cop is probably best equipped to answer.
