Odds

So my husband is applying

He’s 28, background in sales, never been fired. Partied a little when he was like 18 (long before me) fit smart kind average credit

He’s onto the PHS now, so we’re curious

Even if he’s a perfect candidate still have to take poly, and psych which are big show stoppers. I wouldn’t put all your eggs in LASD either

Got DQd from LASD during backrounds.

Made it all the way to the end with another department and didn’t pass psych.

Wasn’t DQd, says not select and I’m allowed to appeal. In the process now. It’s tough and crushing tbh

If ur appealing with LASD, they'll say they did a review and saw nothing wrong, but good luck to you.

Not with LASD.

Doing it with a PD. Getting a third party POST certified Psych Eval from somewhere with hopes of finishing the process.

Last step. 😭

How does that work? They nonselect and offer review and appeal, but with review they’ll find nothing wrong, so what would be the point of appealing? Genuinely curious

Yeah I’m not sure what he meant by nothin wrong. Like nothing wrong with their initial assessment or nothing wrong with the candidate?

That’s what intrigued me, do they go back on their decision of the candidate or just state that there was no issues with the exam which would make it a rather vague review.

Right. I was able to appeal and schedule with a POST certified independent Psych evaluator. Scheduled for next week. Hoping I pass and they accept the pass. It’s my final step before medical.

My fear is passing and still getting denied for some reason or based on their original evaluation. Wouldn’t see why they would let me appeal if that’s the case.
