EPS and Me

[Medik]

Im 21 years old, joined the army reserves when I was 16, was an active member till I was 18 fully trained/ graduated as the course top shot award. (not that as a police officer ill be shooting people)

Now I just found out that my girlfriend is PREGNANT! :O
Currently im taking an EMR course, next is EMT, then after that is Paramedic. But with the change of events I would like a job I can start much sooner and make good money, along with having the respect and honor that a EMS worker would have. Do you think its to soon for me to apply for EPS?

Im going to be honest with EPS and you guys, last time I smoked Marijuana was roughly a month ago, and I commited a gas and go to get to school around a month ago as well. Those are the Extent of the worse crimes ive done in my life. O yes, and about a year ago I sold marijuana for like 2 weeks. lol. But other than that, im pretty much a good person. Also this summer I broke a car window while enebriated. Ugh.... Ive never understood karma untill now. But do you think this will seriously affect my application to the EPS, Im going to apply regardless and I know for a FACT I would make an excellent addition to the force upon them hiring me. Amongst my friends im known as being extremley trust worthy and the most troublesome of friends have even said that Ive made them a better person. Not trying to toot my dudley do right horn cause im far from perfect. But I would never consider myself a bad person.

I initially wanted to become a medic and join the organization Global medics, but that dream can wait for nessecity. Over the winter I went out, albeit only twice, to give food to the homeless people of edmonton with a church around my area. Im not religious, but a helping hand to your fellow man is a helping hand none the less.

Im hoping all this will work in my favor for my application. The only thing on my mind is how my child will view me, the only thing i want to do is teach him about honor, respect, sacrifice. I want to be a shining light of integrity in his young life....

So will my past events affect my current application seriously? Only one way to find out I suppose, but what do you all think?

First of all thats not funny. Second of all your a drug dealer, good bye:wave:

As I was reading this post I probably had a stunned look on my face.

Smoked weed a month ago, sold it in the past, stole gas recently and broke someones window while drunk.

But other than that you're a pretty good person right?

[Citicop]

I honestly don't know what EPS is, but if it's Law Enforcement related at all, you are out of luck.

And EVERYONE thinks that they are a good person. People see themselves as the good guy, even when I am taking them to jail. It's just human nature.

That's why people don't like cops. THEY are the good guy, and when I act in a way they don't like (for instance by arresting them) then that must make ME the bad guy.

I dont know what to expect im going to apply anyways. Ive already heard stories from my friends in the course im currently taking of a personal friend they knew that applied to EPS after admiting to smoking weed only a week before and got in. Worst case scenario, ill get defurred. No biggie, least I tried.

I mean hopefully they wont see me as one of those rookie cops who pulls out there gun and shoots a person cause theyve never actually been in a real life confrontational scenario. Happened here in Edmonton just a few months ago with a rookie cop who shot a homeless man.

Anyways Its true though everyone does probably consider themselves a good person, and YES i sold marijuana for litterally 2 weeks. I know cops that have done WAY worse in the past, im sure I havent done nearly the amount of chaos that they have. BTW the cop im speaking of is a veteran of the force now, he was one of my friends big brothers (not related but the volunteer program)

Looks like I will continue my EMS career, but seriously, I know for a fact how I perform in confrontational and stressfull situations, and its damn effecient. Im sure not ALL cops were always shining pinnacles of the hands of justice there entire lives.

[Roger Dat]

You know cops who have done WORSE then dealing drugs??? Really? please enlighten me.

You are pretty cocky about how you would react in a stressful situation. EMT or not its a little bit different when your the police and YOU are the last line.

I dont want any drug dealers working next to me.

[Medik]

fair enough i could see why u wouldnt want to work beside any drug dealers... but litterally it was for like 2 weeks im not even exageratting. Just wasnt a fit for me, I was thinking police would look at somthing like that as experience which would help them catch bad guys. Damn right I know how id react, living in this city, murder capital per capita of canada. Ive been in many a scuffle where Ive been outnumbered, Never started one, the polygraph will attest to that.

Theres alot of wana be gangsters here that like to harass the innocent population, I hate that.

OK, so no drug dealers, i dont even think a drug dealer would consider me a drug dealer, i mean 2 weeks like a couple years ago. I wouldnt even mention it if it wasnt for the polygraph. But as for my foolery this summer. then i could see why theyd frown upon my application, I did break a car window, or personall property.

Now as for the Ex military guys joining, heh, i know army guys... And i can gurauntee more than some of those dudes have a much larger rap sheet than me by far.

I feel sorry for the kid who is being brought into this mess. Obviously we have two idiots, one with the logical thinking capability of a 13 year old bringing a child into this world. Not seeing "the big picture" is not karma, its a lack of maturity.

So, you don't think you're a drug dealer, but you sold drugs regularly for 2 weeks. How many sales does one have to make before YOU consider them a drug dealer. I know what number *I* think it should be (It's One.)

And also it seems that you have no honor (Not mentioning anything you think you might get away with...)

You are not cut out to be a cop. And the bit about your criminal history making you "better able to catch criminals" is something a lot of criminals tell themselves.

Hmm is this a serious thread or just pushing our buttons.


I love the "i did this this and that but besides that i am a good guy, Oh yea but i did this also. Thats it except for last week i did this. Come on dude... I have no clue what EMS is but if you are going to be considered a LEO, you have 0 chance today or any time soon. And a very slight chance (I think i am being nice saying that) in the very distant future.

[DZL]

I think EMS refers to Emergency Medical Service which I guess even a person of low moral character "could do".

The EPS, I'm assuming refers to a private security agency which I can't imagine his recent trangressions with the law would allow him to pass any kind of background check.

[Medik]

yaa yaa im applying anyways.

Point is, put me in the streets over most of you, and i GUARUNTEE the criminals that NEED to be caught will be caught. I know the streets, i was grown in the streets. Not in suburbia.

My first mistake was asking some online security guards advice. If you think a man who sold marijuana for 2 weeks a couple years ago a person of "low morale character", then truly you have not seen the real evil this world has to offer.

One should note good virtues of a policemen are not only integrity but also accountability. owning up to ones actions no matter the consequence. Ive taken beatings while outnumbered and still stood like a champ, protected weaker persons from harm, and even saved a life through CPR. And thats just the short version of the morale resume. Ive given you men and woman the ABSOLUTE WORST things ive done in my life summed up in this post. Pretty sure compared to the masses, im of golden character.

[Wanabe]

Its not about what evils the world has to offer. Its about the evils you have commited. From reading your post i can see the type of personality you have and trust me they dont want you. Also how can you say you have integrity or accountability. You stated the only reason you are telling the truth is because you are being polygraphed. There we have it you lack it all, not only that your a former drug dealer and criminal who still breaks the law by smoking MJ.

Now once again i ask... is this a joke thread? If not i will have to agree with joey about this poor kid being brought into the world.

[Roger Dat]

Integrity is not about seeing what you can get away with not disclosing after DEALING DRUGS. I dont give a rats *** how good a cop you think you could be. These VERFIFED AND ACTUAL cops have given you honest opinions and I really dont care if you like them or not. You will not however come in here as a DRUG DEALER and insult us who make a very large sacrifice everyday. These are my brothers and no one screws with my famly.

Go back to dealing drugs, then when we pinch you, you can become an expert witness and deal your way to "help" make a difference".

PS you might want to get a good chiropractor, your going to throw your back out if you keep trying to pat yourself like that.

BYE BYE

this might be the single funniest paragraph (well, if you can call it that) i have ever read. "drug dealing just wasn't a fit for me"....good god....
