| Hello every one i'm new to law enforcement and looking for a place to hold my certification in the Southern Ohio area if any one knows a Department actively looking I would appreciate it. |
| Well said and I have taken that into consideration about choosing this career for my self whether or not I see myself doing this in 10 or 20 years. I know that I will make a good LEO because I have taken the time to decide that I want to be that guy at 2 am on Christmas Eve keeping the drunks and scum off the streets. It's tough when there are people out there that only want to do it cuz it seems fun or cool or exciting, but they get a better look because they can test higher. One day soon I will be able to start my career and make a life out of it for myself and my family. |

Special skills? Education beyond the basic police academy? Enjoy doing the work no one else wants to? Keep looking, keep calling, keep showing up, make them aware you're looking. Provide detailed resume. Are you up to date on your training? A lot goes into "hiring" a reserve. It's just not jumping in a car and making arrests/vehicle stops all night. Know any FTO's? You're right no one bacame a LEO to work the hours or miss every holiday with your family. TRY no to be jaded, it gets you no where. Also don't believe every department wants what's best for you.
Good luck. |
