[Hi-Psi]

Wish I wasn't working out of town for this or I'd probably give it a go

Kind of want to register just to see what actual officers have to pass to get in.

I don't know, I think FraserB quoted something you said a while back that may keep you from going to a CPS job.

edit: DAMNIT ercchry beat me to it!

I'm gonna register just see how I do

I'm thinking about this, but just to see how I do. Why not, right? Being a cop seems like such a fulfilling and cool job. Hell, if I wasn't plagued by ski and bike injuries and bad decisions in the past I'd probably pursue it more aggressively.

Stupid question alert.

If you pass, would the results count towards an application?

[mgwatson]

edit: not worth it.

Your results are valid for 5yrs. If you wanted to proceed in the process you would then fill out the application. Your results would then be placed on your file.

Another stupid question alert. If you've been convicted of drug trafficking in the past, does that automatically disqualify you even if you have a pardon? How about a knee and back injury? They probably run you through the ringer with health and fitness testing too, right?

You would need the pardon, and the recruiting unit would look at your entire life history. It would not necessarily mean an automatic defferal.

With regards to the injuries, theres a huge medical form that needs to be completed by your Dr. Training and the job itself can be very physically demanding. I think most people know what they are capable of, and their limits. You will know yourself if you are ok.

Quoted for hilarity in conjunction with your avatar, lol.

I would honestly try out, if I didn't know the hours were worse than my current job, hahah.

Pardon's on the way, knee surgery imminent, as for my back, well, that is most likely a deal breaker right there. I'm still curious to see how I'd do on the test.

I like to shoot people.

Can I skip the written exam and just go to shooting criminals?

It isn't the L.A.P.D. doing the recruiting.
