I am trying to enroll in the LAPD. I just had a couple questions about the whole enrollment process. I am taking my pqe tomorrow... any tips? advice?

 

ACADEMY is a Bee eye Tee C H my friend. let me add RACISTS! let me add HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE! Let me add nothing but A-HOLES !!! but let me addd 20+years in the force and high ranked !! GOOOOOOODDDD MONEYYY!!!!!

other than all the stuff i said. Goodluck erick

 

Are you willing to help us old school members and sign off a few tickets?

 

Hey Erick, I'm in the same boat with ya. Took the essay last week and still waiting for results. From what I've read, just be honest with your answer. The process is brutally long so patience is a must. Just one day at a time my friend. Keep us updated with your progress.

 

lol. why do u say that? have you experienced it? do you know others that have?

 

im thinkin about applying in the near future as well! good luck to ya eric...let me know how it goes...

 

That was my plan B as well, good luck Eric

 

i think lots of people say that but its no being a cop is no joke. people think "i messed up at wut im doing so imma go be a cop now" but their policies are as tough as ever. not saying you or eric or anyone "messed up" at what you're doing but its not just a job, its a life. think of superiors giving you orders, having to deal with retards on the streets, working shitty hours and having to come home late night, early morning only to be exhausted, fall asleep and go back to doing it again the next day. all my cop friends say its draining...... only the ones who are 100% committed remain in the force.

 

i feel you man i can barely deal with trash driving daily and having to deal with uncooperative people on a daily yo.. it must be hella strain...

on the other hand growing up in a "hostile environment" i have my fair share of street smart in me


i was really debating on becoming a teacher / cop but i just care to get my degree right now and whatever hopefully is appealing ill definitely have to look into it. with our unstable recession right now, it doesnt look like CHANGE will be happening for another few years

 

i say that because my dad was the Commander of the lapd and its really getting bad there with bratton being cheif.

 

Why LAPD out of all other department. Did you already go through the academy? if not then you should enroll your self and go through the academy first. Its a big plus, also other recruiters might pick you up from other department. Im an LEO and telling you this from experience. Good luck.

 

I think it's because they start paying you along with all the benefits from day one of academy. Also LAPD is more badass than other department.

 

Ask yourself this if this is something you want to do? Can you take the stress and crap for the next 20~30 years?

Back on the subject I don't know how it is these days but when I applied we only have 7 tests to take. What is it now for you? 8? I hear it is far more difficult these days than 5 years ago. Just be honest and don't give any bs around. Whatever crap they give just take it.

LAPD gets alot of action, that doesnt mean that they are badass. From swat competition, LASD took 1st place for the past 6 years. LAPD is the easiest department to get into.

 

So what was your question?

 

Just answer with honesty, those questions will be asked a few times during the remaining 9 steps... to get to the academy (your polygraph and dept. interview for the most part). Just be honest. Been there done that. I passed my dept. interview and was on my way to Academy.

I backed out, can't take a huge pay cut for now. I highly suggest that you start working on your stamina (start running). I also suggest to take a ride along with a Sgt. 77th division for more action

Good luck Eric.

 

You sir are a fa gett ;] haha sup alex

 

If you're trying to get to law enforcement for competition...I suggest that this is not the profession for you.

I agree LAPD is easy to get in if you're clean, If I can pass to get in the academy, trust me anyone can.

 

+1 on the academy. although academy is rough, u do have a better chance !

 

felons accepted? haha
