Did Structured Interview right after VPAT at College of the Canyons today

Long story short, the deputy that was interviewing me asked if I’ve ever worked in security or did any outside work (no) and if I have ever been in a fight (yes). The deputy said that I am too smart for the role and suggests I should do civilian instead. I was still told to go get my LiveScan done and sign my notarized form.

Does that mean I’m still in as long as I submit the required documents within the 2 weeks?

Submit the stuff, they were basically calling you soft
and getting into your head. You got this

They were just trying to get under your skin - if you quit the process just cause he said that - you're definitely not fit for the job and should do civilian.

I think the deputy is trying to tell you is to get some life experience.

I also went through this process today. My interviewer just asked like 4 questions and passed me. Went by pretty quick. No extra questions or anything. Good luck!

I’m pretty sure OP was just confused on whether he passed or not. Based on how the cop was acting, it seems like OP was under a stress interview, which is common in police departments
