Police Officers

Just wondering if anyone here is a police officer...I know it's not a very common occupation for someone with SA, but there's probably a few of them.

My grandfather is insisting that I take the State Police exam, but I really don't think I'm up for it, although it's not until early spring. I'm worried about the physical exam (I'm 6'4" and only 170lbs), about the psychological exam (obviously) and I'm worried about the polygraph (I've done a few illegals in my time).

He's not saying I have to the Academy or anything, he just wants me to take the exam "to keep my options open". Any input would be appreciated.

Is this a position that you are truly interested in? Is it something you see yourself doing?

...........If not..........You could keep your options opening by taking other State, cival service test......Just a thought;-)
Key words "At this time in my life"...........I think we should all attempt our dreams (when you're ready)......I think on our death beds, we don't regret what we have done, only what we didn't attempt........

Take the test........No one says you have to enter the academy now...........

You're aware of the battery of test one has to go through,..."Emotional problems" can be.......A negative..)........Simply because the stresses of the job. "If you can't handle life now, what's it going to be like" I'm thinking that's the realm of their ideas......

We all have different "Forms" of SA.......Where I can go out, with strangers people think I'm outgoing as all go......That's passing............

How do "We" know.............When you're "ON the job" your SA wouldn't disappate.......

Again, I understand the reasonings......Although I think there should be follow up test......After someones been on the job, 5 years..........

Take the test........Again, no one said you had to enter the academy............
