    • @joecalabrese8979
      @joecalabrese8979 4 ปีที่แล้ว +46

      1701spacecadet Right, however most disqualifications occur due to an applicant admitting to something during the polygraph that they omitted on the background packet i.e drug usage, criminal history, dog and peanut butter stuff due to the one on one “interview”.
      It takes advantage of the intimidation aspect of interviewing. Easy to lie or bend the truth on paper, but during a one on one “prying” it could cause a dishonest applicant to show their true colors and trip themselves up. Like the guy in the video said... it’s only as good as the interviewer. The interviewer acts as a third party professional interrogator for the department. He steers how it goes based on his questions, his tactics etc
      In my opinion after being on the job for five years, I do believe it is a very valuable tool... not because it can detect a lie... but because it adds another more serious layer of the screening process.
      Remain consistent, don’t apply for the job if you were a criminal or sicko, and just don’t lie. Departments are looking for honest candidates who don’t get tripped up under stress. Just be able to simply “articulate” your answers.

      I was declined for Customs because of a failed polygraph. I wouldn't have minded if they had elected to test on that before I drove a total of 8 hours and dealt with the incompetence of the health examiner (they lost my results, failed to return my inquiries). Their obnoxious threats of being cast aside if you failed to resolve issues was another pita. A whole year wasted. Then they blacklist you for two years before the next attempt.
      I don't think they're worth the trouble.

      "Lost" applications are for those who don't have nepotism working in their favor. They're not lost, they're discarded. If they were "lost," then traffic tickets could be "lost" without any sort of penalty. That's how municipalities work at least.

    I finally got in after 4 years in the hiring process. After I had my Polygraph I didn't hear a word back for a year and a month. I had lost all hopes at that point, going to school wasting money to get the degree to continue in the process. I literally just got my email 2 hours ago, I could not be more grateful. Everybody's process and background is different, but 4 years is a long time for 1 department so don't loose hope when it's been more than a year.

    Excellent information and very accurate. ALWAYS tell the truth and remember, no one is perfect. We've all done stupid stuff that we regret. Own up to it and move on. On the PT test, don't burn yourself out on the first few exercises. They will tell you what the minimum standards are for your age group. Meet those standards and maybe a bit more, but don't show off. I've seen too many applicants crank out 50 pull-ups and 100 sit-ups, then they are so worn out that they can't complete the 1.5 mile run on time. Don't be a hero. No one cares!

I was then told to fill out a pre-investigation background check, then run the agility test. This goes to show how various departments hire how they see fit.

    I have tested over the past two years for 8 police departments where I am from. Passed both the physicals and written portions for all. Gone through 4 panel interviews and from there was dropped due to ranking of the candidates. Really sucky feeling and takes a toll on you that's for sure. But I am in the process now with two large departments here and hoping I have better luck with either of them. Should know more within the next month or so. Your videos definitely relieve some of the stress over areas that I have not gone through. Thanks a ton.

    • @coath624
      @coath624 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't think it is a matter of qualifications with the other departments. The previous ones I have tested for were smaller departments surrounding the major city where I am from. All of those departments were hiring a max of 5 people. So me being a 21-22 year old kid who just graduated college with really zero long term work history doesn't look all that impressive compared to ex military, former law enforcement, or a 25 year old guy who has been working a job for 3+ years. The two departments I am testing for now are the two biggest departments in my area who hiring 25-75 people per class. So my chances have gone up by at least 5 times. I do have around 6 months of working at a corporate security company that gives me some real life work experience and responsibility compared to the part time jobs I had when I was in school.

    • @tacticalblue5901
      @tacticalblue5901 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's good that you are trying for bigger departments. Another alternative is paying for your own academy. A lot of departments prefer to hire people that are already certified rather than sending you through the academy. I got hired with my first department because I was already certified through the state. Note that I was 21 and no experience

    • @NESOAries
      @NESOAries 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It was a joke on the terminology mainly. However, you forget the jurisdiction of MP. They are able to detain and apprehend civilians (Not directly arrest, however) and are tasked with policing military areas. It extends beyond just being a counter-terrorism dedicated unit, though historically it indeed had heavily been focused on policing areas of civil unrest outside of normal law enforcement. Such as at off land bases, occupied countries, and embassies. In addition, they had the duty of enforcing order within the military itself. Such as guarding military prisoners, dealing with POWs, assisting in the arrest of military officials (Drunkards, brawls, etc), and such.

      Military police are there to kill the fun of combat arms in the military. They like to pretend that they're actually combat arms because they get the first twenty minutes of combat training that grunts gets, but for the rest of the combat training the MPs are drunk on "contraband."
      Paratroopers are Air Force Special Forces. Military Police is an MOS. In SF, you have your MOS, but even more highly personalized training. You may be a medic attached to SF, but you'll also have insane combat and weapons training, SCUBA, demolitions, etc. The difference Special Forces, regular infantry/tankers, and specialized near-SF like the Rangers is merely training. You can send infantry to go destroy a building, but you can't tell regular infantry to HALO drop into the ocean, SCUBA to shore, move 20 miles through harsh terrain, approach the building from the sewer, place explosives on the support structure, exfil, and detonate. That kind of shit requires significant amounts of training.
      Military police MOS I can't see translating as well to SF as Ranger, medic, EOD, etc.
