Just got my fingerprints done, and now I'm trying to figure out where in Pittsburgh I can go and get my physical and mental screen. Does anyone know a place I can go? Google has been less than helpful. Thanks in advance.

IIRC, your family doctor (or any doctor) can do the physical and paperwork.  

I don't believe they could do the MMPI, but maybe they could refer you to a specialist.

Way back when I did it, my family doc did the physical and I picked some random shrink from the phone book for the mental eval.

You go to your family Doc for the physical. The paper work is very easy. Basically it just says you have a heart beat and are breathing. There are a bunch of shrinks that do the exam in the PGH area. Keep in mind that they are all private and charge different amounts so shop around.

Call the Allegheny County Police Academy. They may have some contact info. Since all Cadets have to get one for the Academy. If that fails PM me. I might be able to get info from someone I know that did that part last year.

Thanks. I have the physical portion on Thursday. The physical therapy folks I was seeing for a couple months can do the test. I'll give the academy a call tomorrow. Thanks for the idea, bullet!

Calling the Academy worked out. Got my physical yesterday, and I have my mental exam today in 40 minutes. Can't wait to see how psychologically warped I am...

Well I had my first class today. Lotta information to take in, but after a bit to sit and think about it, it's all pretty simple. Don't be an asshole, don't arrest people unless you're 100% certain you watched them commit a felony, and only shoot them in the face if you absolutely need to.
