This may be premature, but I had an oral board last evening for a Reserve slot, and I'm thinking I blew that one too. I've noticed some things about other oral boards, and prepared myself for questions surrounding Laws of Arrest, Use of Force, and Search and Seizure. I wasn't asked one...

I'm putting this out there, and if it gets enough interest I'd be willing to coordinate it. Anyway, my alma mater is looking to expand their Airsoft inventory and make training a little more realistic. So if one wanted to donate something they don't use any more this is what they are looking...

Yes, I know, it's a repeat question. I'm asking it again. Scenario: 1) Mags loaded and in a locked box with no firearms. 2) Firearms in locked box with no mags or ammo. 3) Both locked boxes next to each other in the trunk during transport. If this isn't OK let me know the PC please. I'm...

So I finally get to a point where I can buy myself a 1911 and I had to drive 50 miles to a place that had 45 ACP. To make things worse I reload (you would think that would make things easy for me). So needed a die set, and a bullet mould in 45 (I have the base plate and everything else), and I...

Starting Monday I walk among the employed. I’ve basically lost in my bid for a LE career track. However, the irony is I’ve landed the best financial gig I’ve ever had. It is the culmination of all my experience and education. In a few years I will have made back all the costs and lost income I...

Saturday, February 28, 2009 (02-28) 10:54 PST Chula Vista, CA (AP) -- A San Diego County man wanted for a store robbery was arrested after he showed up to take an examination to become a police officer, authorities said...

The agency shall remain nameless, but I’m scheduled to take the entrance exam and the entire examination process consists of a singular essay which candidates are only given 15 minuets to complete. So for the first time, my drive to the test will take longer than the test itself. Yep, that’s...

SCORE.... I can now use my log in profile to apply for jobs without having to reenter my job history and education information each time for each application. I'm now even using it to apply for finance jobs.:teeth

So sure as shit I have never been to a PD testing process that was like any of the previous ones I've taken. This was no exception. So I tested today for one and they have this thing called Behavioral Personnel Assessment Device It's called a B-PAD test. Basically, you watch a video for 1...

On my academy certificate I have a POST control number. Is that the credential serial number that will now follow me for life? If I put that on an application in the section specified for licenses and certificates will they know what I am talking about? Oh, is anyone else annoyed by those...

Well, the next four days are it. This Sunday was the last of our remediations and the remaining 24 of us all made it. Tomorrow is a cumulative LD final, but nothing I expect anyone will even remotely come close to failing. It’s been an interesting carnival ride. I will say that. I’m not being...

So now today Defensive Tactics is out of the way. As well, we had our last range day today which was a BBQ and shoot what you brung. So basically, everyone tried to shoot ANYTHING but their SIDEARM (since we have an inspection tomorrow). I'm really happy because I don't need to clean my firearm...
