My expedited testing coming soon guys. I started training for the physical parts of testing at the beginning of the month, I went from 3/4 of a mile in 10 min to a whole mile in 10 min , 5 pushups to 15 and I’ve lost about 5 pounds in total and started eating the cleanest I have been all my life lol. Now from all this I have about a week left of training and I haven’t met the min requirements which is like 30 pushups , 30 sit ups and run 1.5 mile in 15 minutes max. Any advice or heads up onto what’s coming ? Will they reject my physical abilities even though I’ve improved a lot this month. I’ve never been more dedicated to any job before until now so it’ll be a letdown if I get rejected for this

So I applied and got selected to do expedited testing on Aug 30th but I’ve also been applying to other departments around Los Angeles. I’ve been getting emails already from 2 other departments to schedule the PELLETB testing before my LAPD one but my question is do I hold off on those and wait for the LAPD one or how would it work if I attend the testing for those other smaller departments.

I have my expedited testing Aug 30th, anything I need to know so I can prepare ? How much do they make us run? How many push up ? All that stuff would be helpful

I have my Expedited testing Aug 30th. I can’t wait to get the opportunity to be a lapd officer but also super nervous for the whole process because I’ve heard a lot of applicants have a hard time passing the poly even with a clean record and just off the fact that their nervous as hell lol

What’s the shifts like as a LAPD or LAXPD officer? Are they as high OT demanding as the sheriffs where your basically saying goodbye to your personal life lol

Why does everyone in the academy have a shaved head? Is it a requirement or is it just for the academy and you can grow it after you complete the academy
