Chief interview went great. He asked about the speeding tickets and my not so perfect credit history.
I explained to him all the details of both situations.
Got the questions about why I want to be a law enforcement officer and why at his dept. Gave him my answers to those as well.
It was a short and to the point interview and I felt really confident that I answered everything as truthfully and as personably as possible. I gave him nothing but me and I hope i'm what he's looking for!
Im not sure how my age will be looked at as I'm 23 (24- early august) but I hope aside from some ignorance in the past on my part he can see what I'm really made of and gives me the opportunity.
Polygraph is next thursday- if I pass and he likes what he sees in me he'll sign off on my info and I'll know Friday if hired or not.
HOPING LIKE CRAZY NOW!!! I'm so freaking close- it makes me excited to be writing this thread- I used to read threads like these when first starting my career as an applicant (lol many can vouch for the time consuming long and multiple processes) I can't wait to be hired and verified and be another success story for other future candidates. .... I HOPE SO BAD FOR IT

Passed poly/drug today- scheduled psych/medical next week.
My BI said he was going to be calling me tomorrow with a conditional and if I pass the other 2 tests I'd be hired next Friday

Well guys and gals seems I'll be verified soon
Got a phone call today and I'm hired - all have to do is pass med (which is no problem) and psych which again I should do fine on
It's been a loooong stressful road but I see the finish line near and it's worth it

Congrat's to you! It is a long stressful road, but well worth it in the end if it turns out that you get the job! Do you have to attend an academy? Because if so, you'll most likely have to wait until you're completely certified and sworn to become verified. But either way, once you're certified and sworn, send me your info (found here) and I'll get you verified as quick as I can!

Just remember the psych checks if you are crazy enough to do the job, not if you are too crazy to do it... Originally Posted by Chivalrous

Congratulations.
Of every one hundred men, ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the One... One of them is a Warrior... He will bring the others back.
