I want to be a cop

[BigAl311]

What's up fellas? I intended to post this in the "cop talk" portion of the forums, though I'm not yet eligible.

As the title suggests, I want to be a police officer. My dad was a cop and I've always looked as him as a role model and hero.

Unfortunately, I went through a couple of rebellious years after I graduated high school. Within this time frame (18yrs-20yrs), I received a D.W.I, a misdemeanor A burglary of motor vehicle, a D.U.I, and a Driving while license suspended.

I'm now 25 yrs old and haven't had a nick on my record since, nor did I previous to the times listed.

I live in Texas and in my state I can have a D.W.I on my record but can't have any other mis. B's. I thought this was a little strange... Anyway, I was told that 10 years would have to pass from the last time I received a mis. B or worse.

Soooo in my state I have to wait another 5 years to fulfill my goal.

Does anyone know if that same rule (10yrs from previous mis. offense) applies in most other states? In other words, with my record, do I have a chance in any other state???

I appreciate any help!

[Heckler&Koch]

Unless your dad has connections I don't think any PD would hire you. I'm just being truthful not malicious.

No matter the time frame, just remember that you're competing with
other applicants who never "went through a couple of rebellious years".

You do the math?

[JimBianchi]

It's going to be a tough road.

Try a few smaller departments.

But on the surface, looks like a no-go.

Sorry.

[2bgop]

In some states you would still be on probation.

[banger]

Truthfully, My old department wouldn't touch you with a 10' pole.

That said, perhaps you can try some of the "Big City" department. On the whole they seem to be more tolerant of past infractions.

Ain't that the truth!!!!

Just take a look at the Ft Worth, Tx police department?

Damn, they'll hire anybody.

I'd give them a call, they might start you Monday morning just as you are.
They'll train you later, maybe?

[Tristan]

Your first and ONLY post on GT is one about how you have a DWI AND a DUI AND a burglary of a vehicle and you want to be a cop? Me smells something funny.

[JBnTX]

Call Ft Worth PD, by noon Monday you be protectin and servin.:rofl:

[jbart1957]

Join a fire dept. Seriously.

[tbhracing]

Join a fire dept. Seriously.

Seriously, on the West Coast, FDs are harder to get into than the Police Departments. Total BS statement by jbart.

Secondly- Most FDs conduct a law enforcement background check on all appicants apon hiring. Thats right, same process for either position. This includes high school and college grades, education/diplomas, work history, drug history, credit history, criminal histroy, tattoos (some agencies) and personal associates. Get more information here. (http://www.aspiringfirefighters.com/background-investigations.html)More information- LA City's Background information link. (http://www.lacity.org/per/psb/bgstndrds.htm)

Jjbart- I am a fire service professional and your posting was a total slap in my face and the professionals I work with. In my state, its atleast 100 applicants for every one fire job. With odds like that, FDs can choose to be very picky and they are. Most FDs want Paramedics and that is a whole other lever of education and skill level. Dont believe me....click here and scroll down. (http://www.aspiringfirefighters.com/faqs.html)

On the flip side of the coin, there are hundreds of police jobs availbile. (http://www.post.ca.gov/Hiring/Job_Opportunities/)

OP- You need to do some serious damage control right now. I highly suggest you look at this website for some help- www.eatstress.com. As for getting on the fire service, forget it. Also, if you truely want to get in public service, stop riding your Dad's coattails, apply for and get the job yourself. They will be hiring YOU, not your dad.

Pretty steep criminal record. Burglary is a felony, not a Class A misdemeanor, in ANY state in the Union. I am in my last semester in Graduate school working on my Masters in Criminology and I will say this, no dept. in the USA will hire a felon. Period. Sorry.

I would have to agree. I mean, I suppose it's plausible, but I just can't imagine it happening.

And as far as your criminal history someday being "off your record" - that generally doesn't apply to law enforcement agencies conducting background investigations.

We REGULARLY find sealed/expunged dispositions. They're not kept secret from most criminal justice agencies, particularly the ones who know how to dig. And diggin is what we do.

From a LEO. :dunno: There you have it. I had a misdemeanor theft when I was 15 years old stealing a cd and I had a Major General to answer to, 9 years later :wow: (i am now 24). Given the Army requires all officers to have security security clearances but LE work is along the same lines. Its good you want to get back on the right path but a burglary charge and many times, a DUI/DQI is irreversible in terms of LE agencies.

[S.O.Interceptor]

Within this time frame (18yrs-20yrs), I received a D.W.I, a misdemeanor A burglary of motor vehicle, a D.U.I, and a Driving while license suspended.


You might have had a chance if this happened when you were 15-16, but the fact that ALL of it happened after you were an adult is the deal breaker.

Are all of these convictions? I am going to assume they are since you said you can't be a cop for 10 years because of them.

You got a DUI and didn't learn anything from it and then got a DWI. Somewhere in there you drove after you know your license was suspended and you got caught. And you also burglarized someone's car in there too. All as an adult.

I'm going to be brutally honest with you, no agency in the state of Texas will touch you. Certainly not in 5 years and doubtfully ever. That's just the honest to God truth. For the record I am a Texas Peace Officer.

I live in Texas and in my state I can have a D.W.I on my record but can't have any other mis. B's. I thought this was a little strange... Anyway, I was told that 10 years would have to pass from the last time I received a mis. B or worse.

(A) has not ever have been on court-ordered community

supervision or probation for any criminal offense above
the grade of a Class B misdemeanor or a Class B misdemeanor within the last ten years from the date of the court order; but

(B) the commission may approve the application of a person who received probation or court-ordered community supervision for a Class B misdemeanor at least five (5) years prior to application if an agency administrator sufficiently demonstrates in writing with supporting documentation that mitigating circumstances exist with the case and with the individual applying for licensure, and that the public interest would be served by reducing the waiting period;

5. is not currently under indictment for any criminal offense;
6. conviction history:

(A) has never been convicted of an offense above the grade of

a Class B misdemeanor or a Class B misdemeanor within
the last ten years; but
(B) the commission may approve the application of a person who was convicted for a Class B misdemeanor at least five (5) years prior to application if an agency administrator sufficiently demonstrates in writing with supporting documentation that mitigating circumstances exist with the case and with the individual applying for licensure, and that the public interest would be served by reducing the waiting period;

Ya, one of the most selective departments in the state. Feel free to apply and see how it goes. :upeyes:

Burglary is a felony, not a Class A misdemeanor, in ANY state in the Union.

Burglary of a VEHICLE in the state of Texas is a Class A Msdemeanor, not a felony. It's only a felony with 2 prior convictions. Ya, it's a joke.

[Furyataurus]

Meshmdz is WRONG!!!!! Burglary of a vehicle in TX is a Class A misdemeanor! I'm in L.E. classes and should know. I also have the current penal code book in front of me.

Dang it! too slow!

Since it is a Class A the only way to get hired would to have it expunged. Unless you got a plea deal or something that lowered the offense.

[BAILIFF]

Unless your dad has connections I don't think any PD would hire you. I'm just being truthful not malicious.

Wrong.

No stress level. But if you get the big picture, it was an insult.

I just checked the Texas Code and I STAND CORRECTED. This is a shocking statute. Utterly shocking. Thank you for correcting my misstatement sir.

[Vet3612]

If you are going to "use" your dad, use him wisely. I agree with get the job on your own. You will(should) be much more proud of yourself having EARNED a position.

The only way in which I would condone(as if anything I say matters) using your father would be to get you in touch with the brass in the department that could tell you what course of action to follow if there is any chance.

The advice here is usable at your will. If you get advise in the manner described above, take it graciously and use it wisely.

So, where they hiding all those star performers?

[Sam Spade]

Unfortunately, I went through a couple of rebellious years after I graduated high school. Within this time frame (18yrs-20yrs), I received a D.W.I, a misdemeanor A burglary of motor vehicle, a D.U.I, and a Driving while license suspended.

Does anyone know if that same rule (10yrs from previous mis. offense) applies in most other states? In other words, with my record, do I have a chance in any other state???

It's not the misdemeanor. It's an adult showing a lack of integrity. You stole.


One possible avenue to repair that, cliche that it is: Go enlist. You'll *probably* be eligible for the Armed Services, but the recruiter will let you know for sure. Collect a Good Conduct Ribbon, work some job that requires even a low level security clearance, show that you put your community/country ahead of yourself. Then go apply as an honorably discharged veteran, maybe as a NCO.

[Furyataurus]

Don't worry about it Meshmdz, you're from TN not TX! How could you know? Hell, N.Y. has some of the most crazy legal terms/definitions Class A,B,C,D, and E felonies???? Then sub-class A1 and A2? Next Class A mis and Class B mis with UNclassified mis? Why can't ALL the states just use TX language?

THIS is how I say you will attempt to redeem yourself. Much is said for a person that enlists in the US Military and serves as a PVT and works their way up to NCO rank. For they are the backbone of our Army.

Wow, way to encourage someone. So now working for a small department is not a real job?

[Andrewsky]

Maybe you should just try to be an entrepreneur or something.

[agentl074]

My best advice is to be a cop in the military. This will give you law enforcement experience and help you out tremendously.

[Esox357]

You know there is a reason why alot of people want to be cops can't become them and shouldn't for good reason! Time is your friend you have to go 10 years plus without incident and even then you will be explaining why you did what you did? Past behavior is a indication of future behavior and that is usually what a agency will look at. Esox357.

[1811guy2]

One more thought - those were the things you obviously got caught doing. You will more likely than not have a polygraph exam, where you will be drilled on the things you didn't get caught doing. You can be denied employment for admissions of things you didn't get caught doing, as well as for deceptive answers. Polygraphs aren't infallible, some people can lie and beat them, but there are very, very few who can. I'm not accusing you of having done other crimes, but by the mere fact that you have, you can expect very intense scrutiny of your personal life to find out more. That is just how it goes.

[S.O.Interceptor]

Wow, way to encourage someone. So now working for a small department is not a real job?

There is nothing wrong with working for a small department, in TX, PA, or anywhere else. I didn't have good luck with mine but I know a lot of people who love it and know their ****. I'm sure you do too. I believe the comment about small agencies is just referring to the fact that some smaller agencies tend to have lower standards due to a lack of applicants.

As far as encouraging someone, Steve, this particular person made "mistakes" that can't be undone and that will prevent him from becoming a Peace Officer. And with some of the mistakes/crimes he committed, at the age he made them, that is not necessarily a bad thing.

[rjm]

I doubt the LEO route is going to be possible, but look at the bright side, you may still be able to be a lawyer if you do the school time, pass the ethics exam and get the BAR to overlook the past problems.

[Agent6-3/8]

Unless your dad has connections I don't think any PD would hire you. I'm just being truthful not malicious.

Same here. DUI and any misdemeanor = disqualification, no if ands or buts. At least the agency I'm in the process with.


A small town might pick you up.

[BEER]

my dad was a cop too, he was a harris county deputy sherrif for 14 years. my dad was shot and killed one night 2 weeks before i was born.

everybody that knew him tells me great stories and that he was one helluva man and an even better cop, but none of those stories makes not getting to meet him any easier.

most cop's families are lucky and they never get that dreaded late night phone call, or that dreaded knock on the door, but sometimes they do.

[Norman]

Dang.... Ft. Worth getting it rough tonight. :supergrin:

<--- Not a LEO, but listen up OP... you're going up against guys with a college degree that have a squeaky clean record, are bilingual, have some pertinent working experience that would actually translate to a pay cut to become a LEO, don't have to play footsie with the lie box, and could probably jog circles around you on a PT test.

Pick a different battle, dood.

[Mister45]

Well The Fort Worth Tx. Thing must have some sort of truth in it, Here is why,
My half brother lives there and swears that he is a LEO on the side and works

Then I'm a retired CIA agent..

Well the OP would be well qualified to be a politician.

[Marine8541]

Take this for what it’s worth but this is absolutely the wrong time to join the service if your motivation is rehabbing your record in the hopes of gaining civilian employment. And I’ll just speak for the Marines here but our MPs do very little work that civie police do.

LOL oh yes they would. Its called a character waiver - how do you think gangs get in? All the enlistee has to do is have people vouch for his character. Even gang members get in as long as they promise to sever their connections (LAUGH) most of them dont - which is why OSI and Security Forces Investigators are there haha.

Offenses/Moral Behavior Which Can Be Waived:


Minor Traffic Offenses. Received a civil court conviction or other adverse dispositions for six or more minor traffic offenses where the fine was $250 or more per offense.

Minor Non-Traffic Offenses. Received four or more civil convictions or other adverse dispositions for minor nontraffic offenses.

Misdemeanor Offenses. Those with two, three, or four, civil convictions or other adverse dispositions for what the Army considers to be a misdemeanor offense require a waiver. Waivers are not authorized for individuals with more than four civil convictions or other adverse dispositions for misdemeanor offenses.
Combinations. Received a total of four civil convictions or other adverse dispositions for a combination of minor non traffic and misdemeanor (for example, 1 misdemeanor and 3 minor nontraffic).

Serious Offense. Any conviction or adverse disposition for what the Army considers a felony, requires a waiver. Again, the Army has its own list of what it considers to be a serious offense (usmilitary.about.com).

I spent 21 years in the USAF wearing that same shield you have as

Drug and Alcohol offenses ARE NOT waiverable.(Unless the rules have changed
since 1992)
There's no such thing as a Character Waiver.
I've worked with Recruiters.
A DWI and a DUI make him ineligible for active duty.

Well thats good - but things have changed - at least for the US ARMY - not the Air Force.

AS a TEXAS tax payer. I Don't want you as a COP I don't give a crap what your daddy did!! Small Texas PDs are full of **** heads don't need any more..:steamed: GO find a real job...
Wow. DICK

[BigAl311]

Same here. DUI and any misdemeanor = disqualification, no if ands or buts. At least the agency I'm in the process with.


A small town might pick you up.
The department I talked to said no problem with the DWI, they were more worried about the DWLS. Strange, huh?

[BigAl311]

It doesn't really matter.

He's not responded in over 3 pages.

He's probably already been accepted by McDonalds.

McDonalds? If I was to work there, I guess that'd make me your boss.

You do realize that the guy who drives the garbage truck that comes and picks up your trash off the curb every Thursday makes alot more money than most cops.

:rofl:

[BigAl311]

For everyone that posted constructively, thank you! I'd make an excellent officer, I KNOW I would but it seems like it's something I'll have to forget about. I'm physically fit, have a BA degree, and have a LONG list of references but I made stupid decisions and I'll have to live with them.

No, he does not. Perhaps where you live (i doubt it, but I'm not there) but such a blanket statement is just silly.

Some, but not completely.

DSL means that you willfully disobeyed an order of the court. Plan on countering that perception.

[Dragoon44]

I wanna be a Cop Hater.

Why?

Got ticketed because of your driving habits?

Dont really care about money to support a wife and family?

Do you suffer from small p**** syndrome?

Do you have an inferiority complex where it would it make you feel better to Bash others who strap on a gun and pin on a badge?


Fixed it.

:rofl:

Some do and some don't. Cops in large cities make surprisingly more than you'd think. You obviously have NO idea how much cops in Austin and other large cities make. There are a lot of additional pays built into your base salary that most aren't aware of, not including the constant OT as well as min 3 hrs of OT every time you're called into court even if you're there only 15 minutes.

Keep on thinking that cops don't get paid chit. It makes it a lot easier to pass more raises by the union that way. :supergrin:

[Tristan]

Oh, and NATTY, here's a news flash............the south lost...........get over it. :rofl:

[No Frills McGee]

Big al just layed down the butthurt. That JUST HAPPENED.

[MarksGlock22]

WE DID?! Say it ain't so!

I live in Maryland, the richest state in the US. Look it up.

Most of the popo here less than 30 years of age still live at home with their mothers.

If you want to become a cop and spend most of your time looking for people driving above the posted limit and maybe get lucky and catch one who may have had a couple beers, good for you.

If you also have a DWUI conviction surely you are kidding.

:rofl:

Man, I am positive that you work security in a mall. I know, I know, you claim to probably do some important work for the government or sell pharmaceuticals or something, maybe a car salesman or trying to sell Amway to all your family, but I am going with mall ninja.

[Annoyedgrunt]

Just don't say that too loud around Witchhunter... that guy's really committed to the delusion.

[Tristan]

Whoops, sorry about that. In that case I'll whisper it to Natty:

"Pssst, Natty............the south lost.......get over it."


Was that better? :supergrin:

[Natty]

When they have no argument against the truth, the foolish attack the messenger.

No Sir, the place I work wouldn't hire you.

No way, not under any circumstances.

So you can never be my boss.

Look who stopped back by on page 4!!!!! :wow:Now he is spitting off smart comments about working at McDonald's :upeyes:

The bottom line is this... You come to a community who is largely a law-abiding group and for the most part, we know each other to some degree or another, and when you post a thread like you did and then run away for 4 pages, it doesnt make you very welcomed here on GT. Just my 2 cents.:whistling:
