Any Law Enforcement agency will not (guaranteed) hire any candidate who is completely an "honest Abe" on their Personal History Statement or packet with all the "yes and no" questions (in simplier terms). Law Enforcement hires the best liars they can find, that is sadly the truth. Anything you have done from age 1-15 is fine to write down, from age 15-on that is where you get fucked. DO NOT from age 15-on confess to any crime that was never document or had police involvement. Example is for you "Honest Abes" who feel if they check "No" to a question that should have the "yes" checked, that the police will find out. HOW ARE THEY GOING TO FIND OUT IF THE INCIDENT WAS NOT DOCUMENTED!!! Any drug other than weed, they probably will find out through drug testing. GUARANTEED if you check yes to weed, you will be automatically disqualified. More than 30-60 days of non-use of weed (THEY WILL NOT KNOW, if you are not a habitual user). POLYGRAPH exam is a scare tactic and can easily be passed. Never admit during exam, even if the examiner says "I know your lying!" Info gathered from 10 year Los Angeles County Sheriff Background Investigator. PS, LAW ENFORCEMENT WANTS OFFICERS WHO ARE EXCELLENT LIARS AND WHO ARE COOL UNDER PRESSURE.
