LEO application

[Sawin]

Ronin are you a LEO now?

I was going to ask the same thing. Which agency/department are you working for Ronin? You don't have to answer, I am just curious.

Yeah i havnt had any drug use just wonder if one were t say something about anything if they could be charged

No charges, but it may or may not effect the hiring process. My kid told the guy during .mil questioning she smoked pot at aparty. She was being honest. that guy popped a cork HOW CAN ADMIT THAT? Hey you said be truthful and Honest did you not. End of questions sign here.

Same questions asked when she applied for the academy in CA. There they were, OK as long as you're not addicted to meth, cocaine or heroin. Different agencies have different standards of acceptability.

Age of consent used to be 14 in Hawaii. According to a chart I saw once.

It may not seem like it now, but you are better off being washed before being hired than be terminated for lack of candor two, three, ten years into your career. It does happen.

Standards change, both physical, medical, and moral. If there is something that a specific department passes candidates on and then the policy changes, lowering the bar for any of the standards, those new candidates will be looked at by the currently employed as being less than satisfactory. This is normal, but just adds another layer of stress to an already stressful process.

Polygraphs are a cake walk. It isn't the box, it is the examiner that you will be working with, so listen carefully to the questions during the pre-test interview. Ask clarifying questions and get everything out in the open. It is the little things in the back of your mind that cause your autonomic physiological reactions that require the examiner and the QC process to figure out. If you have been up front and brutally honest, the questions while on the box are actually boring.

Get to know some people already on the job where you are applying.

I would rather be unemployed with integrity than pulling down a fat check and be dirty. Keep in mind, getting hired only gets you in. You will still have to do your 25+ years to actually make it

Be safe.

Sounds advice and words of wisdom.

Well considering I'm on Day shift right now, it's dark when I get to work, and it's dark when I leave... What scenery?

does anyone else see the irony here? Adams replaced JM with Ronin?

Wow, that never would have occurred to me, but that is hilarious. JM would have made your new job a hell Ronin.

What ever happend to JM
