He goes they don’t support companies like Black Lives Matter, literally the dumbest shit I’ve heard. The fact that, that statement helps people buy something is sickening
Thank you , bunch of useless rambling of memberships & Starbucks cups -_-
Lol fr fr. I was in the car when it started and was like stfu already dude.
Only thing keeping me from subscribing is not doing that intro again
Not all heroes wear capes.
I’ve been waiting for someone to go into very well details about your past and the hiring process. I like how you specify things like drugs, tattoos, and your criminal charges. Thank you this really helps me a lot!
This is very inspirational. I'm 25 years old and hoping to prove myself to become a police officer.
Just don't be racist or sadistic and patience!
This was the most humane description of how we are indeed human, and that yes we can have regrets of our mistakes, but to exchange the shame and guilt for wisdom and growth… thank you for this.
Thank you for this! I am in the process of having the tattoos removed from my hands (*forcefully, given by ,now, incarcerated ex-husband). I have been: FMF- (USMC standards) Field Medic, Mil Spec Ops Security, Corrections (Ultra Max/Death Row-High Profile), Disaster Recovery & Relief (International) Deployment Team, Social Services field work- sexually exploited/at risk youth and homeless Vets, Special training/certs/clearances through- Homeland Security/FEMA/LE/International RC. I am BEYOND committed! My background check, PA, CBAT-LE/CO, etc are NEVER a problem… but, then am passed by due to “visible, non-offensive, tattoos”. This has caused years of heartbreak. Thank you for providing a glimmer of hope!
What do departments do with your previous PHQ if you do get DQ’d and try again in two years? Or even if it’s been longer than two years
Hi. Im 25 years old from western Canada. I recently got my journeyman electrician ticket. I have been smoking cannabis for the past 5-6 years regularly. It been legal for a while in Canada. I rarely drink alcohol. No criminal record or anything. Do I stand a chance of getting hired as a police officer? I'm 6ft3 and physically fit as well
New to the channel, Thanks for the upload, it was very informative.
Thank you so much for this video
Remeber kids you can't start committing crimes until you have a badge......anything prior is frowned upon. Then after that feel free to violate all the laws you want within reason....this is sattire if course. Hopefully anyone you reading this who become officers respect the rights of society you police.
I just finished my Arizona dps background application but I think I messed up on it. I may get disqualified and im not sure if I can reapply. Ive always wanted to be a state trooper and I hope this doesnt ruin my chances of doing so
why do you think you messed up on it
5:00 start of video
As a content creator during the police application and background check process did they search your social media? Were you allowed to continue making content? I have never heard of a police officer that has made videos on UA-cam! I make animatic videos (almost like animated music videos) and am Canadian. I hope this is ok to ask!
Not sure about Canada (sorry!) but in the US it’s allowed depending on the agency you’re going to work with. I’ve seen a lot of policemen/women on various social media platforms. But you do have to clearly state that your activity and opinions aren’t a representation of your agency and I think ur not allowed to have it while active. You can have it on breaks and when ur off.
@@kaysantos7841 thanks for the info! By active, do you mean at work? Or do you mean while working / ‘enlisted’
@@ItsLilKae no problem! And sorry, by active I meant while on the clock. It has to be either while you’re off or on a break.
@@kaysantos7841yeah tysm!!! Really appreciate the imput!!!!!!!!
@@ItsLilKae of course, anytime
I had a order of protection that was against me but expired Oct 2019. I believe I just got DQ’d for that. Never had any arrests or use of drugs. I have a Bachelors and associates degree. Will anyone take a chance a hire me. I was very up front
Indiana, Indiana state patrol will work with you and Indiana Metro police will let you as long as it is all expunged. Tennessee will allow you if it's expunged because in the state of TN an expungement allows a person to return to civil status prior to the arrest. There was a case in TN where an Officer was arrested for Domestic Battery (felony), and it was pre-trial diverted to a simple assault and they at first took his POST certification away saying he was DQ'd, and then he paved the way by getting a Federal court to go up against post and state TN law over rules POST certification because they conflict and expungement wouldn't exist if it wasn't a benefit to the people. So TN state patrol and other police departments will definitely hire you. Nolo PD in New Orleans right now is hurting bad, they will give you a chance.

So TN state patrol and other police departments will definitely hire you. Nolo PD in New Orleans right now is hurting bad, they will give you a chance. It's state specific honestly, some places are way harder but the first job is always the hardest to secure for everyone. Apply to around 20+ departments and 1 should pick you up. I'm no drugs, with 2 expunged misdemeanors, but 1 of them was a resist arrest, so in Texas I'm DQ'd for life, but it was a Pre-trial diversion and at the end everything was dismissed and the arrest record expunged. It's a grey area for me, but most states will give you a real chance especially in times like this. You just have to score high on the written, possibly be prior military (MP would help even if people thinks it doesn't, seeing someone be a cop for the military does give you points towards career officer vs just trying something new). I fall in the made one dumb decision category, but it was all pre-trial and expunged. IDENTGO is what most departments use for prints and mine come back with nothing, even the FBI prints I run have came back with no arrests. It's okay to have been in trouble and it wont bar you for life depending on the crime. Anything Assault or drug related can mess you up.
When I was in high school I did LSD 1 time and tried weed 1 time, I’m 23 now just served 5 years in the marine corps and have been clean since my high school days do I have a chance?
Yes.
If you didn’t get caught doing the drug do not disclose it. They say to be honest but it’s a lie. So much for integrity. Just say no.
However, if anyone else got a job disclosing that drug background. Let me know
Why would you tell them that?
do not listen to this guy, if you are caught in a lie you will be put on a list that will permanently mark you as a do not hire DQ.@@BladDaddy
I think something that’s really overlooked is how to really articulate your past. You have to learn how to really sell yourself
What about having a bad employment history. Job hopping getting fired etc
👀 I need to know this too, turning in my app Tuesday.
I finished the police academy in Dec. Typically your job history shows you have some what life experience based off of the different jobs, BUT what they will also look at is the frequency of how often you changed jobs and if you are currently still following that same pattern. None the less its good to list all your job history to show you have worked in multiple fields that could possibly cater to law enforcement.
@@jamesboland8031 Ayy man I’ve job hopped a few times during college but am currently employed with my current job for about a little over a year. Do you think my current habits and maturity will override my past when I job hopped? I just completed the oral exam and passed they seemed to have really liked me.
@@caleb8363 it depends, how old are you? When was the last time you changed jobs? Are you already certified or looking to become certified ?
@@jamesboland8031 I just turned 23. The last time I changed jobs was last year around June. I’m applying for the cadet 1 program so I can be sponsored and gain experience. I’m also trying to get my BA in psychology.
I’m convicted of interference with a custody and it’s not a felony charge, is there a chance I could be disqualified from being a police officer with that convicted crime?
what about your rape charge?
It should be more like the military where you get an opportunity and if you can rise to the occasion you should be able to within reason become a cop with a criminal record I mean who would better now how to catch criminals than a criminal who is reformed.? How better to stop them from reoffending then to recruit themselves. It would give people something to work towards because having a criminal record I'm a military veteran I got in some trouble after I got out of the service and so many things are closed off to me and it's just very hopeless I wanted to be a police officer but because of that mistake that I have not repeated and won't repeat it's a disqualifier which really sucks because I really think I would be very good at that job
Well if you got any felonies or anything to do with domestic violence, drugs, theft or children… then you are pretty screwed
Tattoos on your hand can be concealed with a sleeve
Wym concealed ? Like make up?
How about past drug abuse
Man just hands and neck? lol I have hands, sides of my head and back of my neck. I’m fortunate to be able to be in backgrounds as of right now.
If I was arrested but never convicted can I become a cop?
I have seen some law enforcement agencies that do allowed tattoos. However, some areas around here are quite liberal.
I was getting ready for the corrections academy but out of nowhere i failed the psych interview and now they dont want me. Im very sad that I wasnt able to show them that I can do the job fairly and help the community.
I need to become a cop
I was denied employment for being arrested for a weekend but was let go. No charges & I didn’t have to even see a judge!!! But they still claimed I am ineligible. My incident happened when I was 18 years old I am now 25. I just don’t understand
What did you get arrested for and what state ?
😅 I'm still smoking weed, want to be a cop, hate that this keeps me from gettin there
As long as you have learnt from your past it’s ok. If you have made the effort to shape yourself into a good person you should think about applying to become an officer. I am talking about people who haven’t done anything serious of course like DUI and DWI offences, a criminal record for instance. I don’t like tattoos on officers tats look cheap to me. I wouldn’t date a man with tattoos not even an initial tattooed on his neck or forearm. What we put on our bodies, what we wear and how we present ourselves not only at work but on days off speaks volumes about what kind of person we are. People that can’t control their emotions like anger or sarcastic comments says a lot about a person’s character. And if you want to be a police officer or even thinking about being one you have to cut off certain people and places you might go to. It’s crucial that you take a good look at who your acquaintances, friends and family are and what environment your living in. You can’t turn a blind eye to crime, so if Uncle Joe is stealing the office pens at the company he’s working for, it’s a crime. If your friends think it’s ok to get plastered on alcohol for fun on a Saturday night you have to let them go. These people won’t help your career they will hinder it. You really have to get serious with yourself if you want to serve and protect the community. You can’t go lecturing people about drinking and driving which is an offence when you have friends or family that are doing things like this and condoning that behaviour. So yes if you have family that think that laws don’t apply to them and they are doing something illegal then you not only have to report them but you have to disconnect completely from them. The same goes for colleagues at work if you are in law enforcement you cannot condone misconduct just because they are officers you need to report them. People think that it’s one big happy family working in law enforcement but it’s quite the contrary, you still have to protect your job and integrity as an officer and that means not getting too chummy with your colleagues. If you feel something is a little bit off with a fellow officer at your department then don’t get to friendly. Sometimes other cops can bring you down with them if they go off the rails so you still need to keep all associating on a professional level.
Tattoo removal is easy now.
Has anyone experienced a 7 hour long polygraph?
What about if you black the recalled me for some bs with a clean record
Can the police access your juvenile records
Yes
@@dajoneaverett8549 will it affect my application I’m 18 now but I can’t try until I’m 21 and I have a very long juvenile records will I automatically be DQ
@@highkinggames748 If it's a very long record..... I don't think u have a chance. I have just one juvenile incident and it still looks pretty bad... I don't know tbh but I think u will not be hired. One juvenile incident may be overlooked but a "very long" juvi record is a no no.
@@highkinggames748 it’ll be tough but if you can stay clean for the next 3 years show growth and explain your juvenile past you might still have a chance. They just want to see growth and owning up to what you’ve done. They can pull up your entire past.
@@dajoneaverett8549 thank you for the advice I’ve been looking into expungement ,if I get it done will it show that I’ve had my records expunged.
Can failing out or college DQ you ?
no
My God when does this video begin
Edit. 5:00 min video starts
