Kids don't listen officer401 on the Red Bull contest you will die he made a mistake I hope he makes a video on that soon. Don't worry I still like you officer401 you're awesome
1701spacecadet Right, however most disqualifications occur due to an applicant admitting to something during the polygraph that they omitted on the background packet i.e drug usage, criminal history, dog and peanut butter stuff due to the one on one “interview”. It takes advantage of the intimidation aspect of interviewing. Easy to lie or bend the truth on paper, but during a one on one “prying” it could cause a dishonest applicant to show their true colors and trip themselves up. Like the guy in the video said... it’s only as good as the interviewer. The interviewer acts as a third party professional interrogator for the department. He steers how it goes based on his questions, his tactics etc In my opinion after being on the job for five years, I do believe it is a very valuable tool... not because it can detect a lie... but because it adds another more serious layer of the screening process. Remain consistent, don’t apply for the job if you were a criminal or sicko, and just don’t lie. Departments are looking for honest candidates who don’t get tripped up under stress. Just be able to simply “articulate” your answers.
Thankfully they are using newer devices. Had my interview with the Sheriff's Office and we used a CVSA which is more accurate as it only measures the stress in your voice.
Joe Calabrese hey, what about if you’ve down drugs but years ago. Like 4 years ago. That consist of just weed and speed/psychedelics. I can prove I have nothing in my system even with a hair test since it’s been so long. But will this still ruin my chances?
papabeanguy if you don't want to be in law enforcement a highly support your thought I was in law enforcement for 7 years and I kind of don't want to be in Patrol anymore I can want to be a detective like 401
I finally got in after 4 years in the hiring process. After I had my Polygraph I didn't hear a word back for a year and a month. I had lost all hopes at that point, going to school wasting money to get the degree to continue in the process. I literally just got my email 2 hours ago, I could not be more grateful. Everybody's process and background is different, but 4 years is a long time for 1 department so don't loose hope when it's been more than a year.
I never understood why departments use the polygraph exam. No telling how many good applicants were/are dismissed because of an unreliable test that doesn’t even hold up in the court of law. Thanks for the late night post!
I was declined for Customs because of a failed polygraph. I wouldn't have minded if they had elected to test on that before I drove a total of 8 hours and dealt with the incompetence of the health examiner (they lost my results, failed to return my inquiries). Their obnoxious threats of being cast aside if you failed to resolve issues was another pita. A whole year wasted. Then they blacklist you for two years before the next attempt. I don't think they're worth the trouble.
Excellent information and very accurate. ALWAYS tell the truth and remember, no one is perfect. We've all done stupid stuff that we regret. Own up to it and move on. On the PT test, don't burn yourself out on the first few exercises. They will tell you what the minimum standards are for your age group. Meet those standards and maybe a bit more, but don't show off. I've seen too many applicants crank out 50 pull-ups and 100 sit-ups, then they are so worn out that they can't complete the 1.5 mile run on time. Don't be a hero. No one cares!
went through a hiring process last year with a Police Department and got through just about the whole process but just didn't get the interview with the Chief. Now I'm starting a new hiring process with another PD just passed my agility tests now have an interview. I feel a lot more confident this time around. Your videos help out a lot ! Keep them coming !
Adam Don’t sweat the polygraph. Just tell the truth and stick with your answer. I passed 4 separate polygraphs/cvsas before I got hired with my current department. Keep at it and I know you’ll be in a police uniform soon. Good luck!
How are you fresh out of the academy without a job? You paid for training out of a pocket? Any police department worth their salt will hire you as a recruit first then send you to the academy.
Passed my board interview and polygraph. Just waiting for a date for my interview with the Chief. Background investigator said they want to get the new hires to the academy next month. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Christopher Vaughan that’s great how was the interview what did they ask you? Also during the background how long did it take for them to get in contact with you? Did they contact all your references
Brady Block nah bro don't worry I am a guy it just that I am a fan of cosplay. I started my account back in 2010 and never bother to change. My background investigation is probably seen this so "Hello Sir".

I have tested over the past two years for 8 police departments where I am from. Passed both the physicals and written portions for all. Gone through 4 panel interviews and from there was dropped due to ranking of the candidates. Really sucky feeling and takes a toll on you that's for sure. But I am in the process now with two large departments here and hoping I have better luck with either of them. Should know more within the next month or so. Your videos definitely relieve some of the stress over areas that I have not gone through. Thanks a ton.
I don't think it is a matter of qualifications with the other departments. The previous ones I have tested for were smaller departments surrounding the major city where I am from. All of those departments were hiring a max of 5 people. So me being a 21-22 year old kid who just graduated college with really zero long term work history doesn't look all that impressive compared to ex military, former law enforcement, or a 25 year old guy who has been working a job for 3+ years. The two departments I am testing for now are the two biggest departments in my area who hiring 25-75 people per class. So my chances have gone up by at least 5 times. I do have around 6 months of working at a corporate security company that gives me some real life work experience and responsibility compared to the part time jobs I had when I was in school.
It's good that you are trying for bigger departments. Another alternative is paying for your own academy. A lot of departments prefer to hire people that are already certified rather than sending you through the academy. I got hired with my first department because I was already certified through the state. Note that I was 21 and no experience
I am currently in school to get my associates degree in criminal justice. My end goal is to become a police officer. Your video has helped me get a better understanding of what to expect. It has also given me a better level of confidence in the in interview process. I would love to be able to talk to you more about my questions and your experiences.
Thank you brother. I've done every step in the hiring process to become a border patrol agent, and I've passed it all. The poly is the last step to determine whether I become an agent or not (it's been stressing me out due to all the horror stories), but your advice has called me down. Thank you.
I knew the polygraph was BS when they told me I failed the question of “Doing cocaine” I’ve never seen cocaine a day in my life and I’m 27 as this comment is placed lol
So glad you made this video! I'm in the hiring process for a large fire department and the process is very similar so I found this extremely helpful and a confidence builder! Great video! Keep em coming!
I went through the hiring process of becoming a sheriff deputy. I had to go through the majority of these things you talked about. However, close to the end of the hiring process I really thought about it and decided it wasn't for me. Love your vids, dude! They keep getting better and better.
Dude... see who you can sweet-talk to get some video of that class. Blur faces, whatever it takes. That would be cool as hell to see. The country needs more cops like you, man. You're one of the good ones, and I think you're doing a great service by softening that divide between the police and the general public. Keep up the good work, and thank you for doing what you do.
Also worth mentioning you need to gather an insane amount of paperwork, the Boston PD background requirements were was 3 years of proof of vehicle insurance, birth certificate/social security card, 3 years of tax returns, college and high school transcripts, 3 personal reference letters, 3 former employer references, 3 references from neighbors within a certain distance from your residence (residency requirements), all documentation from any court involvement as adult or juvenile, all medical records, you’ll need to know all your addresses for the previous 10 years, everything has to be notarized, and every reference receives a call during their investigation. They’ll ask your references things like “have you ever known the applicant to be a cigarette smoker?” Or “What do you think the applicant could improve on to be a better contribution to this department?”. The background detectives also conduct a residency check, they’ll come into your house briefly, ask you to open some drawers to make sure you actually have clothes there, also to prove residency. It’s an pretty exhausting process, taking place over 6 months or so, not knowing if you’ve made it to the next step. There is no polygraph exam in MA by law though, so I think the intensity of other aspects of the process make up for that. After that is the PT test, medical and psych test, which is honestly another intense interview process to try and dig out any mental health concerns or inabilities to do the job. They assess your background and what you’ve done up to that point in life. If you had a semester in college where you got two Fs they might ask what happened during that time. Also best to just be honest or stick to whatever narrative you’re going with. I’ll say this, there are many cops out there who have bullshitted their way through the entire process, on every department. It comes down to the mental effort of it all, practicing interviewing, studying you’re background packet so you know your own story, knowing what you can get away with if it’s something that’s better left unsaid and can’t be found out about you. Like telling your references that you DEFINITELY DO NOT SMOKE CIGARETTES. Whatever the case, it’s do-able. Many people take jobs with other departments, don’t pass the PT / written test, lie about some speeding tickets or something they obviously can’t get away with, say fuck it, fail the drug test, aren’t confident and can’t interview for shit or just can’t get their paperwork together. It leaves a small percentage so get a CJ degree, do some hospital security or join the military and give it a shot.
Sigma He just touched on the subject quickly on another vid. So I would love a full video, or even a collab an auxiliary officer. I hate people have a low opinion about them. "hey could you dress like a cop and help protect people with little to no pay.... Oh and don't worry you will get a flashlight to protect yourself" f*ck all that.
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm trying to get into law enforcement in NJ. I've done how many written and physical tests and just recently found out that I've scored high enough on both parts to move onto the interview phase for the first time! I've known about the different stages of the hiring process since I started applying but hearing the tips you gave was great! Having some insight now as to what the evaluators may be thinking will prepare me even more for the rest of the hiring process. Thanks again for the tips, and thank you for your service!
I love your videos man. I'm in my early 30s and have always had a passion for law enforcement. I've taken the written test 3 times already and keep failing. I consider myself an overall smart person so I don't know what I'm failing exactly. I always turn my exam in with confidence only to receive the failed notice a few weeks later each time. The written test is divided into 2 parts. The 1st part you can't study for. They ask you questions with the answer choices being Completely Agree, Agree, I don't know/not sure, Disagree, and Completely Disagree. I think the goal is to see how you think/how consistent you are, but I may be wrong. The 2nd part is all stuff you can study for and I always feel confident in my answers. I'm going to keep trying, but I don't know how to answer differently or when to call it quits.
So I found out Paratrooper Military Police is in fact a thing. I just imagined a bunch of cops jumping out of a plane and landing on top of some guy robbing a shop.
CapitalistAries Paratrooper Military Police aren't actual police that respond to normal police calls. They are a branch of military that deal with calls individually relating to terrorist threats, people who make threats to the government, and other capital offenses or military related contracts.
It was a joke on the terminology mainly. However, you forget the jurisdiction of MP. They are able to detain and apprehend civilians (Not directly arrest, however) and are tasked with policing military areas. It extends beyond just being a counter-terrorism dedicated unit, though historically it indeed had heavily been focused on policing areas of civil unrest outside of normal law enforcement. Such as at off land bases, occupied countries, and embassies. In addition, they had the duty of enforcing order within the military itself. Such as guarding military prisoners, dealing with POWs, assisting in the arrest of military officials (Drunkards, brawls, etc), and such.
Military police are there to kill the fun of combat arms in the military. They like to pretend that they're actually combat arms because they get the first twenty minutes of combat training that grunts gets, but for the rest of the combat training the MPs are drunk on "contraband." Paratroopers are Air Force Special Forces. Military Police is an MOS. In SF, you have your MOS, but even more highly personalized training. You may be a medic attached to SF, but you'll also have insane combat and weapons training, SCUBA, demolitions, etc. The difference Special Forces, regular infantry/tankers, and specialized near-SF like the Rangers is merely training. You can send infantry to go destroy a building, but you can't tell regular infantry to HALO drop into the ocean, SCUBA to shore, move 20 miles through harsh terrain, approach the building from the sewer, place explosives on the support structure, exfil, and detonate. That kind of shit requires significant amounts of training. Military police MOS I can't see translating as well to SF as Ranger, medic, EOD, etc.
Interviewer: "What made you want to become an officer of the Law"? Me: I'm into the the whole military thing but looking for more of a chillitary vibe if you know what I mean Interviewer: *fist bump* Me: *goes for fist bump* Interviewer: "sike, leave now"
I wish I found this earlier. I went through all the stages already and I'm up for the polygraph tomorrow and I am seriously nervous. Your video was totally on point and I liked and subscribed... I have been truthful throughout but idk what the polygraph is going to be like
I’m literally dead. That intro was the best thing I’ve seen in my life. This, THIS is why I use this channel as my motivation (a part of my motivation) to be an Officer. Keep that shit up my guy, best thing ever
Unfortunately this is the most nerve racking part of the process. 4-5 people asking questions consecutively. If you can't deal with it, you just have to work on it man.
Great video. There are a lot of useful tips that I have applied to my own application process. I had a different experience with Torrance PD, however. After submitting my application online, and sending in my POST BELLET B test results, I was interviewed by a panel. I was then told to fill out a pre-investigation background check, then run the agility test. This goes to show how various departments hire how they see fit.
I had to sponsor after watching this video. I recently thought about becoming a police officer because I admire the work you all do. I also want to be exposed to something new everyday, and while I am vulnerable now, I want to take a step in my life that will change that about me. Thank you for posting these fantastic videos, you are helping out the future police officers!
I know this is an old video but I want to thank you even though you'll never see this. Because this video along with others that you posted really helped me through the hiring process into federal law enforcement.
When he said color blind I was like welp, there goes my dream of joining😂. When my twin joined the navy he was very color blind and failed the test. So they got three diffrent colored lights and he passed. White, red, and green.
I passed the whole selection process for the metropolitan police service in London, then came the vetting security check, I disclosed everything about me and my family, I mentioned by younger brother getting arrested for a misdemeanor, and 1 month after i got a letter saying I can't continue to the training and that my application would get rejected because of my brothers history, fucking sucks really, applying again in 5 months though, I'll probably word it different 😑
Josh Sturtevant yeah I Appealed and they said the rejection still stands. They advice you to be honest with everything on your application and when you do, they will still reject you, even if it's nothing to do with you, ridiculous really. It was nothing to do with the Metropolitan police force though, the metropolitan police force application process is quite easy to pass, but the security vetting unit are separate, they are the ones that rejected my vetting form. 😒
TREE OF KNOWLEDGE. Example: Instead of biting the apple, you think about making the choice so long, it rots away, then once you finnaly made your choice it's too late, already rotted. Stop thinking, words and ideas don't exist. YOU are what matters now.
I'm currently in a Criminal Justice course on college level and we're being taught procedures and tactics that would be taught in the police academy. My instructor is a former U.S. Deputy Marshal, Navy officer, Chief Deputy Sheriff, and FBI Agent, so we're learning really good stuff. Can't wait to try and apply for LEO some day.
@@Dero_milsurp but I haven't even committed a crime that I haven't been caught doing. Like maybe running a red light but other than that I think I'll be fine
Your investigator(s) will also visit your residency, interviewing whoever lives with you , your neighbors, as well as seeing your room - all on no given notice.
I took my polygraph today after my conditional hire was signed. The investigator tried telling me after the first 4 questions that he was seeing that I was not being truthful. I assured him I was, and he went back over the questions. He then accused me of trying to “trick” the polygraph, once again I told him I wasn’t and that I’ve disclosed everything. He ran the test through one more time and, BOOM, passed it. I start working as an officer in 2 weeks, given I pass the PSYC evaluation and physical

3 videos in 2 days?! Should we be looking out for the zombie apocalypse?
westtexas rollin its awesome
The intro was something I never forget!
So glad you made this video! I'm in the hiring process for a large fire department and the process is very similar so I found this extremely helpful and a confidence builder! Great video! Keep em coming!
You are helping me tons right now thank you very much for your honesty and your straight forwardness. Not many men are built like this anymore.
Passed my background! Onto Oral Panel/Psych/Medical! Almost done 👍
I love your videos!❤️👮🏻♀️
And the intro!
Every process I've been through as been:
Written.
Physical.
Oral Interview.
Interview.
Poly.
Medical.
Etc, etc.
Background Investigation and psychological evaluation?
The intro😂 love your videos😋❤️
do you know the reference?
I went through the hiring process of becoming a sheriff deputy. I had to go through the majority of these things you talked about. However, close to the end of the hiring process I really thought about it and decided it wasn't for me.
Love your vids, dude! They keep getting better and better.
I've made the decision to apply as a police officer. I've started physical training to get into shape. This video is just what I needed.
This has helped me drastically in my hiring process. Thank you, you are a blessing! From Victoria BC Canada
My initial interview is this weds. This was SUCH good timing.
How'd it go
Your amazing! I love and support the police 100%
Dude... see who you can sweet-talk to get some video of that class. Blur faces, whatever it takes. That would be cool as hell to see. The country needs more cops like you, man. You're one of the good ones, and I think you're doing a great service by softening that divide between the police and the general public. Keep up the good work, and thank you for doing what you do.
Also worth mentioning you need to gather an insane amount of paperwork, the Boston PD background requirements were was 3 years of proof of vehicle insurance, birth certificate/social security card, 3 years of tax returns, college and high school transcripts, 3 personal reference letters, 3 former employer references, 3 references from neighbors within a certain distance from your residence (residency requirements), all documentation from any court involvement as adult or juvenile, all medical records, you’ll need to know all your addresses for the previous 10 years, everything has to be notarized, and every reference receives a call during their investigation. They’ll ask your references things like “have you ever known the applicant to be a cigarette smoker?” Or “What do you think the applicant could improve on to be a better contribution to this department?”. The background detectives also conduct a residency check, they’ll come into your house briefly, ask you to open some drawers to make sure you actually have clothes there, also to prove residency. It’s an pretty exhausting process, taking place over 6 months or so, not knowing if you’ve made it to the next step. There is no polygraph exam in MA by law though, so I think the intensity of other aspects of the process make up for that. After that is the PT test, medical and psych test, which is honestly another intense interview process to try and dig out any mental health concerns or inabilities to do the job. They assess your background and what you’ve done up to that point in life. If you had a semester in college where you got two Fs they might ask what happened during that time. Also best to just be honest or stick to whatever narrative you’re going with. I’ll say this, there are many cops out there who have bullshitted their way through the entire process, on every department. It comes down to the mental effort of it all, practicing interviewing, studying you’re background packet so you know your own story, knowing what you can get away with if it’s something that’s better left unsaid and can’t be found out about you. Like telling your references that you DEFINITELY DO NOT SMOKE CIGARETTES. Whatever the case, it’s do-able. Many people take jobs with other departments, don’t pass the PT / written test, lie about some speeding tickets or something they obviously can’t get away with, say fuck it, fail the drug test, aren’t confident and can’t interview for shit or just can’t get their paperwork together. It leaves a small percentage so get a CJ degree, do some hospital security or join the military and give it a shot.
Hey 401,
I may have asked you this before but have you ever been part of suppressing a riot and if so can you do a video on that experience.
Video suggestion: police reserves! As in the roles they play, general effectiveness/usefulness etc, :)
YASSSS!!!
I'm pretty sure he did an episode on auxiliary police already...my memory suck ass. But if not I'm all for it :D
I don't THINK so... I've been putting this request on all his videos for idk how long hoping that one day he will do a dedicated video
I think it was free field training that done the auxiliary police video. I remember seeing one somewhere.
Sigma He just touched on the subject quickly on another vid. So I would love a full video, or even a collab an auxiliary officer. I hate people have a low opinion about them. "hey could you dress like a cop and help protect people with little to no pay.... Oh and don't worry you will get a flashlight to protect yourself" f*ck all that.
Just put my application! Hoping for the best ! So glad i stumbled across this channel !
Welcome to the community, Devin! :)
Exam is on the 22nd of this month can’t wait 😎

@@t2thek cool mine is in the 22 as well best of luck to us both
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm trying to get into law enforcement in NJ. I've done how many written and physical tests and just recently found out that I've scored high enough on both parts to move onto the interview phase for the first time! I've known about the different stages of the hiring process since I started applying but hearing the tips you gave was great! Having some insight now as to what the evaluators may be thinking will prepare me even more for the rest of the hiring process. Thanks again for the tips, and thank you for your service!
I love your videos man. I'm in my early 30s and have always had a passion for law enforcement. I've taken the written test 3 times already and keep failing. I consider myself an overall smart person so I don't know what I'm failing exactly. I always turn my exam in with confidence only to receive the failed notice a few weeks later each time. The written test is divided into 2 parts. The 1st part you can't study for. They ask you questions with the answer choices being Completely Agree, Agree, I don't know/not sure, Disagree, and Completely Disagree. I think the goal is to see how you think/how consistent you are, but I may be wrong. The 2nd part is all stuff you can study for and I always feel confident in my answers. I'm going to keep trying, but I don't know how to answer differently or when to call it quits.
If you really want it then keep trying as long as it takes! I believe in you 😊
So I found out Paratrooper Military Police is in fact a thing. I just imagined a bunch of cops jumping out of a plane and landing on top of some guy robbing a shop.
CapitalistAries when dispatch send out a call for buglury alarm...at Krispy creme
CapitalistAries Paratrooper Military Police aren't actual police that respond to normal police calls. They are a branch of military that deal with calls individually relating to terrorist threats, people who make threats to the government, and other capital offenses or military related contracts.
It was a joke on the terminology mainly. However, you forget the jurisdiction of MP. They are able to detain and apprehend civilians (Not directly arrest, however) and are tasked with policing military areas. It extends beyond just being a counter-terrorism dedicated unit, though historically it indeed had heavily been focused on policing areas of civil unrest outside of normal law enforcement. Such as at off land bases, occupied countries, and embassies. In addition, they had the duty of enforcing order within the military itself. Such as guarding military prisoners, dealing with POWs, assisting in the arrest of military officials (Drunkards, brawls, etc), and such.
XxParaTrooperxX the fuck? Pretty sure the guy pulling me over for going 27 in a 25 isn't cracking down home-brew ISIS lol...
Military police are there to kill the fun of combat arms in the military. They like to pretend that they're actually combat arms because they get the first twenty minutes of combat training that grunts gets, but for the rest of the combat training the MPs are drunk on "contraband."
Paratroopers are Air Force Special Forces. Military Police is an MOS. In SF, you have your MOS, but even more highly personalized training. You may be a medic attached to SF, but you'll also have insane combat and weapons training, SCUBA, demolitions, etc. The difference Special Forces, regular infantry/tankers, and specialized near-SF like the Rangers is merely training. You can send infantry to go destroy a building, but you can't tell regular infantry to HALO drop into the ocean, SCUBA to shore, move 20 miles through harsh terrain, approach the building from the sewer, place explosives on the support structure, exfil, and detonate. That kind of shit requires significant amounts of training.
Military police MOS I can't see translating as well to SF as Ranger, medic, EOD, etc.
Badass bro! Thanks for your help!🇺🇸 I have my border patrol polygraph exam on the 12th. This video really helps.
How did everything go? Hopefully well. -Officer Superman
Interviewer: "What made you want to become an officer of the Law"?
Me: I'm into the the whole military thing but looking for more of a chillitary vibe if you know what I mean
Interviewer: *fist bump*
Me: *goes for fist bump*
Interviewer: "sike, leave now"
Funny as hell!
Your personal honesty is appreciated.
i almost thought it said "hearing test"
guess id fail the vision test
there is a hearing test as well.
What's the time? 8:41 pm.
It's a joke 😂
I'd*****
ten thousand And, probably the hearing test, too. 😂
I wish I found this earlier. I went through all the stages already and I'm up for the polygraph tomorrow and I am seriously nervous. Your video was totally on point and I liked and subscribed... I have been truthful throughout but idk what the polygraph is going to be like
I went through the interview panel and the special operations sergeant yelled at me and I still stuck with my answer.
I'm glad I found this channel... you're so honest. It is so interesting to get an insight of the police work.
I’m literally dead. That intro was the best thing I’ve seen in my life. This, THIS is why I use this channel as my motivation (a part of my motivation) to be an Officer. Keep that shit up my guy, best thing ever
Guess i cant be a cop, interviews get my heart racing and in indecisive as hell.
Unfortunately this is the most nerve racking part of the process. 4-5 people asking questions consecutively. If you can't deal with it, you just have to work on it man.
This took some stress off of me for when I attend academy, thank you!
did you make it?!
@@madison168 I'm curious too!
Madison it’s been a year guys lol
My PAT to get into academy consists of pushups, situps, and running.
Was the math portion difficult
Mines was two wall jumps, hurdles, dummy drag, arm handle bars, and run for the rest
@@jasonford4795 No, its very basic math. Yes there is some division, but just study the basics. Its stuff we learned in high school
Great video. There are a lot of useful tips that I have applied to my own application process. I had a different experience with Torrance PD, however. After submitting my application online, and sending in my POST BELLET B test results, I was interviewed by a panel. I was then told to fill out a pre-investigation background check, then run the agility test. This goes to show how various departments hire how they see fit.
I had to sponsor after watching this video. I recently thought about becoming a police officer because I admire the work you all do. I also want to be exposed to something new everyday, and while I am vulnerable now, I want to take a step in my life that will change that about me.
Thank you for posting these fantastic videos, you are helping out the future police officers!
“I just want a job”. LMFAO
I just did my written test for SDPD and the lead recruiter was shitting on some guys for showing up with a t-shirt and shorts rather than a suit
I always look forward to the "turn your head and cough"
I know this is an old video but I want to thank you even though you'll never see this. Because this video along with others that you posted really helped me through the hiring process into federal law enforcement.
I like it when someone can make fun of themselves and not care what other think and your intro showed that
When he said color blind I was like welp, there goes my dream of joining😂. When my twin joined the navy he was very color blind and failed the test. So they got three diffrent colored lights and he passed. White, red, and green.
I failed the test at my re-enlistment in the Army repeatedly. The female E4 pencil whipped it and I retired with 27 years in the Infantry.
That intro thou 😂😂😂😂
Loved the intro!
9 months later and that into Is still one of my favorites
Officer401 you have made me feel so much better about this process! I really appreciate it!

I passed the whole selection process for the metropolitan police service in London, then came the vetting security check, I disclosed everything about me and my family, I mentioned by younger brother getting arrested for a misdemeanor, and 1 month after i got a letter saying I can't continue to the training and that my application would get rejected because of my brothers history, fucking sucks really, applying again in 5 months though, I'll probably word it different 😑
Wow what a load, Is it possible to appeal?
Josh Sturtevant yeah I Appealed and they said the rejection still stands. They advice you to be honest with everything on your application and when you do, they will still reject you, even if it's nothing to do with you, ridiculous really. It was nothing to do with the Metropolitan police force though, the metropolitan police force application process is quite easy to pass, but the security vetting unit are separate, they are the ones that rejected my vetting form. 😒
Good luck next time, I'm in process with the state for the second time.
Isis coming soon to a London near you
ItsJustMaHmoud what a crock of 💩.....wonder how many good potential officers they've thrown away. Can you apply in another city or bureau?
TREE OF KNOWLEDGE.
Example: Instead of biting the apple, you think about making the choice so long, it rots away, then once you finnaly made your choice it's too late, already rotted. Stop thinking, words and ideas don't exist. YOU are what matters now.
I'm currently in a Criminal Justice course on college level and we're being taught procedures and tactics that would be taught in the police academy. My instructor is a former U.S. Deputy Marshal, Navy officer, Chief Deputy Sheriff, and FBI Agent, so we're learning really good stuff. Can't wait to try and apply for LEO some day.
I have 10 months till I’ll be going through this and your video helped shed some light. Good work
You’re colorblind?
That’s gotta make profiling difficult.
kevin Johnson gunna have to identify them by their flip flops.
LOL
well I mean he had a tan..... of some kind. lol
Alex Black hahahaha🤣
Yeah uh... suspect appears to be a big green giant purple spaghetti eating people monster....
Is it just me or did he forget to mention the intense criminal background check, where they investigate every detail of your entire life?
So if I have never been arrested or a speeding ticket I should be good
@@Dero_milsurp what do you mean, I haven't done anything ill moral or illegal. My name isn't in the system.
@@Dero_milsurp but I haven't even committed a crime that I haven't been caught doing. Like maybe running a red light but other than that I think I'll be fine
Your investigator(s) will also visit your residency, interviewing whoever lives with you , your neighbors, as well as seeing your room - all on no given notice.
@@idcjake10 seeing your room? Lol WTF... what department did you apply for? That did not happen during my hiring process.
I'm a half black man. I absolutely love your content and you as a person brother! Thanks for tips, advice and of course the great stories!
I took my polygraph today after my conditional hire was signed. The investigator tried telling me after the first 4 questions that he was seeing that I was not being truthful. I assured him I was, and he went back over the questions. He then accused me of trying to “trick” the polygraph, once again I told him I wasn’t and that I’ve disclosed everything. He ran the test through one more time and, BOOM, passed it. I start working as an officer in 2 weeks, given I pass the PSYC evaluation and physical
My polygraph coming up 🙏
Howd it go?
@@michael5654 hey man i passed it i have last interview coming up soon
@@dailyaaron1 congrats! And good luck. Im looking to start this process soon and I'm getting nervous about the poly. Im most afraid I'll trigger a false positive. My record is 110% clean
Big Aaron congrats! Did you give any false positives that made you nervous?
@@michael5654 lol dont worry about it bro the question they asked me wadnt even a big deal as long as u havent killed no one bro u should be cool trust me
This sounds like when I went through meps and then reception.
accept no poly
This is so much more stressful than MEPS. MEPS you just have to hurry up and wait all day. Police process is like one thing every other week or so.
What does the pig say?
"Police show me your hands mother(intro song starts)🤣🤣🤣🤣
The police trainee is right being yourself and stay confident that's me anywhere good video bro
I'm wanting to become a police officer and these videos REALLY help with helping me know what to expect.
Will Tie Pod in my blood stream cuase me to fail the drug test?
Alejandro Sanchez that would probably kill you
Lmbo
I'm scared when when the're gonna ask me have you did any drugs.
The intro 😂 I loved how you got halfway through Motherfu*** funny as hell.
Why does it look like you're in the bathroom?
656THOR YOU'RE
The Morning Star better?
656THOR better lighting. Otherwise there'd most likely be more of a yellow hue if it were directly in the room.
CJ so can you confirm he is reverse cowgirl style on the toilet for this entire video?
looks like it could be a hotel room
as a probationary firefighter, we go thru the same process...alot of similarities, the panel interview was so accurate that cracked me up
So excited for my interview Tuesday! Thank you, Sir!
Lovey intro😎 thanks for the tips. Earned yourself a new sub👍🏼👍🏼
I went through my Interview 3 weeks ago. Not a single Scenario based question was asked.
