I do not know for sure. It depends how you answered the rest of the questions to see if you will be a good fit for that department. Always keep in mind that they want to hire a person who will be Social and doesn’t mind being the center of attention in order to resolvesociety problems

@@AdjuMjc most people don't like being the center of attention, unless they are narcissists , that would seem like a red flag I would think.

I recommend you research that topic to see what psychologists feel the best answer will be. Most peace officers arrive on scene and become scene commanders. As the person in charge of critical events, you will become center of attention. You have to be okay with being in charge. Keep in mind you are trying to fit a mold. The mold was created by that bagency to decide if you will be a good fit for that organization 😊 ​@@missunderstood6056

Thank you for the positive feedback. At this time there are no plans for a Part 2. I recommend doing some online research on 16PF and MMPI Psychological questions to get a better understanding of this part of the background investigation/ hiring process.

Hello Michael, thanks for reaching out. There are so many current job opportunities in law enforcement. Choose 10 major law enforcement agencies and apply all at once. ON your request: Unfortunately, my Spanish is limited and I do not feel qualified to do a full video in Spanish. You may want to check to see if my videos closed caption can be switched to Spanish. Best wishes in the hiring process.

It all depends on the circumstances of the dui and how long it has been since that event. The background investigator will need to confirm that it was dui misdemeanor arrest - not a felony which instantly would disqualify you and prevent you from becoming peace officer.

If that’s the only issue and it’s been over 4 years and it is a misdemeanor does that still cause for disqualification

@@brandonramirez8334 Presently, the main disqualifier to become a peace officer in California is a felony conviction. Sit down with your background investigator and be honest from day one so that he/she can verify if the incident would disqualify you or not. Never hide anything from the background that may disqualify you later.

How long after applying do I know if the application got accepted or rejected?

@@brandonramirez8334 Before you can apply, you must search local police departments that offer the POST Pellet B test. This is a written test to assess if you possess enough critical thinking, and grammar knowledge to move forward in the process. Once you get the POST Pellet B exam, you can apply to a group of law enforcement agencies. After applying for any agency you will be scheduled to take written exam and participate in a physical agility testing to make sure you are fit enough to pass the physical part of the academy. Once you pass those, you will be scheduled for oral interviews. Once you pass the oral interviews, you will be assigned a background investigator (BI). The agency will ask you to fill out a Personal History Statement (PHS) a 30 page document that includes all the places you have ever lived at, family, friends, employers, financials, etc. You will meet with the BI to go over the PHS. At that point you will know if there are any 'instant disqualifiers."

I am a 1:43 professor of criminal justice in California - my students are interested in a variety of law enforcement careers.

CHP, FBI, military, and other state agencies have applications age restrictions. FBI agents are forced to retire at age 57 unless they have specialty area that gives them an exception to that rule. I have q suspicion that it has to do with retirement benefits but not verifiable. Most city and county law enforcement agencies do not have application age restrictions. The oldest officer I trained entered the police a academy at 52 years of age.

Glad you think so! Thanks 🙏

Thanks for reaching out. It is important that you notify your Background Investigator of the type of neighborhood you were raised in so that here she is not shocked when they visit that area of the city. Most law-enforcement agencies are conservative in California, and they are somewhat restrictive on what types of tattoos can be visually observed past long sleeve shirts. The question would be if you were to wear a long sleeve shirt, would it cover all the tattoos? Make sure that you also have a readily available answer if the Background Investigator asks you about each tattoo.

@@AdjuMjc thanks for that information. My uniform would not cover all of my tattoos. The uniform’s sleeve would not cover the hand tattoo and finger ones . I can remove the finger ones at my expense or wear make up or wear a glove sleeve that would only expose the tip of my fingers .

I'm sorry to hear you failed FTO. Keep in mind that there are lots of law enforcement agencies out there with different types of workloads. Stay strong and focused on your future career intentions.

As of 2024, CDCR has higher salary but less officer 👮 safety due to California Model - Federal has lower salary, higher officer safety precautions. Do your homework on all agencies and make the decision that best fits your needs. So many LE and Correctional open jobs in 2024. Look 👀 at all options. 😊

What jail paid him that much ? Correctly close to the bay and looking into going into corrections but pay isn’t the best

Also do you have to go to Galt, CA academy ?

Thanks for reaching out. POST.CA.GOV was advertising that amount for Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff. That figure includes all their benefits. The salary without benefits as of May 17, 2024 is: Full time - $84,827.52 - $143,117.40 Annually. Now, keep in mind that most deputies and officers are making at least 40 to 50K a year in overtime work on top of their salaries. Look up Oakland PD where one of their officers has made $400,000 in one year. Another San Francisco, CA: "Deputy Bloom has consistently ranked among the top three overtime earners in the city every year since 2016. Over this period, he accumulated over $2.2 million in overtime compensation, a substantially higher amount than any other municipal employee. Lots of open jobs for full-time law enforcement in 2024. :)

@@AdjuMjc Oh I see, thank you for clarifying, that makes a lot more sense! I am currently applying at CHP I have the physical coming up shortly.

What was ur outcome on your appeal?

@@dilanxd I didn’t appeal the psych. However I had a second psych exam two weeks later for a different agency. I passed my psych exam and am now working at that agency! 🙌🏽

Thanks 🙏 for feedback. Always best to learn this information early and be prepared to successfully pass the FTO program. Be safe out there

Hmmm 🤔 you may be missing a word - read California Penal code section 182: conspiracy. 664 Ca PC is attempt - if house catches fire 🔥 451 Ca PC Arson. All felony crimes

Hello Bryan - CHP uses the Personal Background Investigation (PHS) form from POST as well as another internal form similar to the PHS. Make sure your information matches on both forms. BUT- although the CHP background process is similar to other law enforcement agencies, they are able to include additional steps to the background investigation process at their discretion. There is only one CHP academy and it is located in Sacramento, CA. Just prior to graduation, you will be asked for your top choices for field office locations. They base your assignment on several key points of information: If you are married, if you own a home, if your kids and close family live in that area, etc. There are no guarantees where you will be assigned but the more categories you check, the higher your chances you will get placed in your desired area. However, all of this is dependent on whether or not that field office has openings at the time of your graduation.

If you failed FTO, you have to go over copies of your DOR s Daily Observation reports to see what area were noted that you never improved. Be honest and admit what areas you should have improved but didn’t. Once you have identified those, you have to work hard on those issues by attending various training courses that address those issues. Your POST academy certificate in CA is valid for only 3 years from date you can get ended employment so you need to get busy applying to as many agencies as possible - even as a reserve officer 👮 just to keep that cert alive. Sit down 🪑 with law enforcement experts to see if the reasons you failed FTO can be fixed. Study and improve your personality, - even 1% a day, in the 100 days you will be 100% better. What you don’t want to do is drown in your pity party and do nothing to improve yourself 😊

Thanks 🙏 for sharing your expertise with the viewers. All guidance is appreciated to protect officers safety and well being.

I respect 🫡 those who have joined the military to protect our country. My advice would be to graduate high school and get a 2 year degree in Criminal Justice then transfer to a four year university to obtain your Bachelor degree. At age 22 you will be better equipped to decide whether to join the service as an officer (2nd Lieutenant) or apply to police agencies, FBI, etc. large police agencies offer more specialized job assignments- California agencies pay the highest salaries and benefits. At age 22 and with a 4 year degree, you will be best equipped to decide which career path to pursue 😊

thank you for replying to my comment is there any other ways to prepare for this other than the military because although I want to join I have a disability called IBD which f-word sucks and as of right now I so not know if I can still join with out being rejected from it@@AdjuMjc

Thanks 🙏 for sharing your feedback. The purpose of this video is to inform and not sugarcoat reality. To enter the law enforcement profession, applicants must fit a ‘mold.’ They must fit that mold or a background investigator, psychologist or Field Training Officer will wash them out during their evaluation processes. In early years of school students take various personality tests to see what professions would be a good fit for them. By further researching each profession, students learn what the job molds are and if they would be a good fit for that career. 😊

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and perceptions Miguel. It is best wo ask that question of a therapist or psychiatrist who can better explain to you if you would be a good fit for a peace officer position if you assert that you are an introvert. Keep in mind that peace officers are constantly dealing with people at various temperaments and I would be concerned that if being around too many people drains you, - you may not be a good fit for this profession. My last full-time job as a police officer we worked 11 hour days for four days with four days off but some of those days off would be spent in court testifying or working overtime. Again, this is just my opinion and you should do some research to see if a person who is an introvert would be able to pass psychological evaluation and obtain employment as a peace officer. Best wishes to you and thanks again for sharing your thoughts and perceptions.

Thanks 🙏 for the positive feedback

Thanks for reaching out. If it’s been over 3 weeks and you haven’t heard from you BI or hiring staff, it’s okay to send them an email to see if there are any updates. You can at anytime apply for other agencies. I recommend at least 10 and use that to motivate others to speed up hiring process. You have to be willing to move to where opportunity is. It is never a good idea to apply to one agency and just wait.

@@AdjuMjc Im assuming its just due to the nervousness and the overthinking, but it has been only 9 business days. Also does it look like I’m hiding something if I apply elsewhere? I would like to be as open and as modest as possible, but as you stated I don’t want to miss out on my opportunity. Another thing is, I don’t want to work for any agency and I only want to be a deputy sheriff. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do? As well thanks for your response.

If you wish to become a deputy sheriff, keep in mind that there are a number of county loan enforcement agencies, and no one will fault you for applying to several as this will increase your chances of getting hired.

@@AlexTapia8616 hey alex, thanks for your reply! when you say coco takes forever. how long are we talking? also its ok I've been sparking my intrest elsewhere so even, if they procrastinate. I can't and I wont not even a bit

@@AlexTapia8616 I've been in backgrounds coming this 26th will be two months havnt heard, seen or spoke to anyone. But my recruiter and he didnt say nothing that helps me.... its annoying

Thanks 🙏 for the positive feedback.

Law enforcement officers 👮 must be willing to communicate with people. If you feel that you could not perform this task or that your introverted tendency may block this behavior, it may affect how a police psychologist 👩‍⚕️ decides on whether or not to pass you for that career. It is best to research what type of personality you are by taking the Meyers Briggs test and after looking at the results you can see if you would be a good fit for what type of various jobs. One other option is to consult with a private psychiatrist on the matter.

😂 - now now… You can still get married but first, get a legal pre-nup through an attorney

It depends on: what dept policy is, how much you used or experimented and how long you used it / last date of usage, etc

@@AdjuMjc can I email you

@@AdjuMjc lapd I can’t find their policies
