What’s the stupidest thing you’ve seen an applicant say or do during the hiring process that got them DQ’d?
There is one in Arizona and I’m wondering if anyone has ever seen a whole store dedicated to only selling POTUS items.
I’ve seen several posts from people who say they want to get into law enforcement because they want to be a detective and most don’t realize the steps you have to take to even get the job, much less the mandatory time in patrol before you’re even considered (and not guaranteed). They make it look so easy on the tv shows and movies.
How do you like being a detective? Do you miss patrol or is it what you’d hoped it would be and glad you’re out of the front line?
What advice do you have for a detective “wanna be” or a current patrol officer who has aspirations to transfer full time to Investigations?
What don’t you like about the assignment and what is something no one warned you about before you got there?
As a patrol officer, I can confirm that this is pretty accurate only set him up and put him in a patrol car.
How do you maintain your patience when an officer is snippy on the radio or MCT after being sent a call they don’t want?
This was supposedly taken outside a supermarket in the US, but I have my doubts.
Was it related to the arrest or did they get new charges?
SDFD also had massive OT payouts. What’s being done at the City Council level to address these massive overtime payouts for SDPD and SDFD employees?

Self check out for smaller orders seems to work, but I don’t understand the efficiency of having someone with a large cart full of items checking themselves out.
These customers take a long time to scan all of their items and even longer if they can’t figure out what to bag and what not to bag. They also usually have a store employee standing nearby just watching and waiting for them to screw up and the machine freezes.
Add to this the ultimate irony… The many customer service employees that stand around waiting to help these “customer cashiers”.
They could easily be behind a cash register ringing customers up and getting them through the line faster. Instead, they spend time fixing “customer cashier” screw ups and monitoring theft when these wouldn’t be issues if they were…wait for it…checking people out as cashiers!
After passing FTO and getting the green light to be a solo car, what were the things you found the most difficult to learn?
What surprised you most about being a cop that the academy and your FTOs didn’t warn you about?
Do you have a higher than normal dv call volume on Mother’s Day and do you give anyone any breaks today?
Happy Mother’s Day to all sisters in blue (and tan) and thank you for your service. Stay safe
Why not just agree to end the conversation?
Let’s add the user that tells you they want you to stop commenting, but they keep commenting with questions. Just why??
What do you think will be the result of his trial? Something fells “off” about the prosecutors claim that’s he’s the lone wolf and what evidence has been made public so far leaves me wondering if he was truly the only one responsible for Charlie Kirk’s death.
Obviously you can view your own BWC, but does your department have a policy that allows you to view the footage from other officers for training purposes or if you’re curious about what happened on a scene?
Can an FTO review BWC video with a trainee for training purposes?
I imagine detectives have access to all footage for specific cases so I’m specifically asking about patrol.
I’m not saying photos should be boring and posed, however the typical forced happy, excited, look like you’re having the best freaking moment of you life pose for the camera is fake AF.
Relax, smile, look at the camera, look at your friend, act naturally. I think the whole IG social media phase has started to cool down and it’s really a pet peeve to continue to see so much “fake” on social media platforms.
