LAPD reserves program?
So she ran 1 and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, "They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don't know where they put him." So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first; he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in. When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place. Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed.
LAPD,CHP, or LASD which one is better? ?
Better for what? Each is different. For each you need 60 semester college level hours from an accredited college to apply. All are hard to get into. LASD&LAPD have ongoing hiring. Look at the recruitment web sites for each department. They have salary and benefit information. LAPD even has a test you can take to see if it is likely you can make the cut. LASD and LAPD do almost the same type of work except LASD covers a larger area much of which is more rural. LAPD is the 3rd largest department in the US and LASD is the 4th. CHP mostly does traffic work.

I can't decide on which military branch to join?
Hi, i am 17 and a senior in high school. I can't decide on which military branch to join. I was in Army JROTC and Navy sea cadet corps. I love the navy because i like the life at sea and in ports around the world. I like the marine corps A LOT but i really cant see myself a marine without having been in the navy first, they are part of the navy (technically), and i can't see myself on a ship without having been a sailor. And i like the brotherhood the marines have, their toughness and their reputation for being the toughest and few and the proud. However i would like to end up in the army, i know that sounds weird but ultimately i want all of the experiences of college, the navy, and the marine corps to help me be a better officer in the army. I want to be an infantry officer in the 75th ranger regiment or be a special forces officer. So with all of that being said would this work: After i graduate high school i would turn 18, could i go to a 2-year technical college, then graduate with an associates degree, i would be 20 then join the navy for 2 years under the national call to service act, after my 2 year enlistment was up i would be 22, then i would join the marine corps as an infantryman (hopefully they give me 0311) for 4 years then i would be 26, then after that enlistment was up could i join the army reserve and go to a 4 year university and get a bachelors degree and enroll in Army ROTC and then after i graduate i would be 30, could i then be commissioned and go into special forces or could i go into infantry and join the rangers? And if that wouldn't work could someone help me figure out a plan that would?
Can I still become a police officer with a misdemeanor?
I am 21 years old and have always been very passionate on becoming an officer. I have been a Cadet(old explorer program), work a security job and going to get my bachelor's degree in 2 years. Unfortunately, I made a stupid mistake 3 weeks ago and got a solicitation of prostitution misdemeanor. I am very upset because I cannot see myself doing anything else but law enforcement. I made a huge and stupid mistake that night and got that on my record. I asked a police officer if I can still be hired and he said to just learn from it and to be completely honest when applying. I am so scared, I plan on applying in to 2 years. From this point to then I an going to do a lot of volunteer work to gel my case. What are my chances of being hired? (I have no previous criminal history and have never done anything like that but that one night) -Also, my lawyer said it is likely I can get it removed from my record but when applying for LAPD, they will find out.
A police department will disqualify applicants if they have smoked weed within 3 years. I smoked 2 years ago. Should I still apply?
You ask "A police department will disqualify applicants if they have smoked weed within 3 years. I smoked 2 years ago. Should I still apply?" What you should not do is lie. Don't go into it thinking you will get away with it. Smoking some weed a few years ago isn't a big deal, but any lie on your application is. Let me tell you a little story. A friend of mine wanted to be a police officer. Around here it's two years. He had smoked weed, almost two years ago, so he just said no. Then he got scheduled for his polygraph test. He knew he was going to lie on it, and that two year deadline was getting close. He knew the exact date. So he called out sick that morning. If you are sick you won't get good results, so you are supposed to call if you are sick. They rescheduled him, it's a normal thing, happens all the time, no problem. They rescheduled him to the day before two years. He didn't think he could get away with claiming to be sick again, and it was just one day, so he went in and lied. He failed the polygraph and was disqualified. Talking to the person who administered the test, he admitted that he knew why he didn't pass. The examiner told him that if he had admitted it and passed the test with a modified question, he would have been hired.I know plenty of people who have passed the polygraph for other jobs, with an admission that they smoked it at some point, myself included. "Other than the incident you have disclosed, have you used any illegal drugs within the past X years?" "no". "Ok we are good here." I had to sign a statement every year for the next several years saying I hadn't done it again and wasn't going to do it. Boring paperwork.
