I got an email stating that I was removed from the process for 12 months because I didn’t follow the examiners instructions. The examiner kept saying I was moving but I genuinely felt like I wasn’t. Is this something I can appeal?
Took my 2nd poly about 3 weeks ago at the end of the polygraph the deputy just told me that she doesn’t see anything and that no news is good news . But she was going to send it to Quality control to double check if anything pops up.
Haven’t heard anything back from my BI
I’m currently still in backgrounds, about two-three months ago a background investigator called me to go over my PHS. They had me do a couple amendments, but haven’t heard anything back since. I have been training to get ready for my PFQ, but I was wondering if I do the walk in tests would it expedite the process? Regardless i’m still planning on doing the walk in and I just wanted to know how it would affect the time line of my application in a positive way.
Why does San Pedro have the highest DQ rate?
What kind of exercises do you do at CAPS? My work schedule is a bit complicated right now so I want to prep at much as I can at home/ the gym. I already go on runs and am trying to build my endurance running more than 3 miles .
I wanted to give an update about my process so far and give any advice to others. It’s been pretty long and i can’t deny i got discouraged a bit but it’s picked up.

Pfq -aug 5th 2025 ( got a 7%)
Poly- Aug 25th 2025
It was after passing poly that I got a call from a B.I around sept 10th but he informed me my pfq score was too low to be worked on. I proceeded to keep taking the pfq around every month or so with not much progress till around December that I began attending Caps. I kept speaking and asking questions to the instructors at caps and did fit4hire till I felt confident to go on the runs as well.
Going to caps twice a week has helped greatly honestly. My most recent score in may was 70% percent. I’m 21 and female.
Early april I got a call from a different B.I. who stated he was starting my case and to gather everything which I already had. So from September to April i was just in a waiting stage of no progress in my case, my own fault. My score march pfq was 43% though. He had me submitted before the end of April to try and get me into may class but they hadn’t scheduled my psych which i’m at right now.
Hopefully all goes good as well but i have been in this process for over a year and month now. I can’t lie and say i never got discouraged cause I did but Truly the only thing that helped me improve the most was caps. It helps to also get a face to your case as some of the instructors are investigators as well and can put in good words for you. I don’t have anyone in law enforcement to ask questions to so if you are confused or need help with this process, caps is the way to go. Elysian park caps is my favorite one honestly. Best of luck to all of you!
Anyone here work for or know about the agency? I know they attend the LAPD academy, are cross trained in EMS and wildland firefighting, and are an unarmed agency.
I know residence is 10 years but the form says "list ALL jobs" with no time limit specified. I'm 37 so that could mean going back to my first job at like 18-19. Is it really every single job ever, or is there an understood cutoff?
I have my department interview on Tuesday, and I feel like I’m ready. Any last-minute tips or advice based on your guys experience?
I’ve reported my neighbors many times regarding them smoking marijuana . Our apartment complex prohibits smoking, including marijuana, which means it’s part of the lease agreement that they are not allowed to smoke.
Property management wants proof, photos or videos but the people smoke in their unit, it’s impossible to get it unless I barge in. I had called the non emergency line and an officer knocked on my neighbors door. Once they opened the door, he noticed a strong burnt smell of marijuana that he didn’t smell outside the unit. He wrote a detailed report. Of course he couldn’t go in, people also denied smoking, even though the unit smelled of marijuana….. I turn in the detailed report to my unit and it’s not enough evidence.
Property management said, “We have spoken with the residents from unit *** and we can assure you it is not coming from this unit.” Uhhhhmmm exactly what PROOF do they have to confirm that unit *** isn’t smoking, considering this happens after office hours and I know for a fact they haven’t visited.
I even received a doctors note explaining how harmful it is for me to be second hand smoking this shit because I’M PREGNANT. I’ve already had two miscarriages and I’m trying to keep this one safe and I’ve been stuck at home from how sick I’ve been. And the smoke has been harming me further!!!
Please stay away if all you have to say is, “well this is California, move out if you don’t want to breathe it.” I say to that, please STFU. why the hell should people who break rules be rewarded?
Hey all, so I went to the medical eval recently but did not have a completed SCL form. I was told by the doctor to have the form completed by my optometrist. I sent MDS my completed form two days after my appointment date and they said everything should be in motion from there on.
I was also told that I would be deferred for 15-30 days, however I'm now seeing that I've been deferred for almost two months. I'm suspecting that this is because I did not have a completed SCL form on the day of my medical eval. Has anyone ran into a situation similar to this? Is there anything I can do to shorten the deferral period?
I recently received a call from my background investigator. This was my first time ever talking to him. He said that he’s going back to patrol and he’s gonna be handing my case off to another BI and to expect a call in a few weeks. My question is will the new background investigator have to start all over with my investigation or will he pick up from where he stopped? (Field investigation started in Feb & got the call in May.)
I finished my Multiple Choice test around a year and a half ago, and my PHS back in December. I got an email back then that I passed and that I should have expected an Email with an appointment in the coming days.
I never received the Email, and I thought it might be waiting for my graduation date from college. I asked people told me that I should have gotten it a while ago. I tried going to the support site and opening a case, but nothing came of it and its been two and a half weeks. I tried calling, but it went to voicemail. Is there a different phone number or email I should contact?
This was where I was trying to contact: https://mypd.joinlapd.com/support/
Thank you for any assistance possible.
I know that PFQ walk-ins are held the first week of the month, but does anyone know the times? I think for walk-ins at Elysian are at 6AM any day during the first week but does anyone know the times for walk-ins at the Devonshire station? I don’t know if they only hold their PFQs on specific days in the morning or afternoon
Has anyone gone through a medical clearance process where you had to get cleared by an outside doctor? I faxed in my clearance letter and they confirmed they received it, but my profile still hasn’t been updated. I know the doctor has to review it first, but how long did it take for yours to update? Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this wait.
Hello, anyone here work for LA Department of Transportation as a Traffic Officer?
I’m wondering how the job is, how many people do they typically hire in one application cycle?
How’s the pay, typical schedules, and work culture?
Is the work culture actually paramilitary like police or is like most civilian jobs?
Any info would be helpful, thanks!
