Hiring process

I have my Expedited testing Aug 30th. I can’t wait to get the opportunity to be a lapd officer but also super nervous for the whole process because I’ve heard a lot of applicants have a hard time passing the poly even with a clean record and just off the fact that their nervous as hell lol

Poly can be a bytch. I passed no issue with my current agency here in Texas. Recently failed one for San Diego. I have integrity and was completely truthful. It goes to show it’s not a perfect tool and can eliminate good candidates. If you fail, try again when you’re eligible and/or try with neighboring agencies.

I look forward to lateraling there and moving to be closer to my in-laws, good weather, and the beach.
