[@FirstThirtyMinutes]

haha! Thanks for the shout out! Been enjoying your videos a lot lately. The subs are well deserved

[@officertaco1046]

[@pjwarrior8480]

FirstThirtyMinutes hey, I watch your videos everyday and I love watching u. you always make my day and I love your realism

[@brandynnutter]

You're absolutely right about honesty in your interviews. I applied for a 911 dispatch job for the police department and in the interview process they asked me if I had ever been arrested and I said "Yes, but not as an adult." Their eyebrows cocked and they asked "How old were you? And what were you arrested for?" I answered "I was 8, and ironically, I was arrested for prank calling 911." They all laughed out loud and after a few more questions, they each shook my hand chuckling and one of them whispered to me "You nailed it."

[@lifeisaadventure9948]

Brandyn Nutter are you Cop now? 🗡⚖️💙🇺🇸 I unconditionally #Backtheblue

[@ShowNoMercy7]

Because of you, I completely changed my view and opinion on cops. I wish a lot more were like you. You're understanding and very laid back! You're awesome.

[@officer401]

Thanks Cedric! I'm very happy to know that! Welcome to the community brother.

[@user-vr8gl9ly5n]

cedric phizeme most cops are good but it is just the media that makes them look bad

[@renegadebiker24]

Bill Bob I agree with that. Mainstream media will always paint cops in a negative light, because they want to feed the negative light, and paint every cop as a thug. Just look at how they report on how, for example, how great Black Lives Matter is, and how bad the cops are. This negative narrative keeps going on, because that is what gives them ratings, which translates into money, for that media outlet.

Thanks Cascade! Glad to have you here brother!

[@cacoca79]

you should have gotten a real job instead of relying on the government, wimp

[@cacoca79]

not living solely off taxpayer money which is what government jobs are, a real job is one that provides good service to people instead of being a menace to them like law enforcement does, they dont care about your safety they are just tools for revenue generation. even the cashier at target provides more benefits to the area than a cop does, begone boot licker!

[@whiskeyrick3263]

Totally depends on the department. Research the department you would like to pursue. However some state standards could prevent you from getting into the county or city police.

[@unlimitedbattery]

Why are older cops way more lax than younger officers?

[@TheWiseCop]

Matthew Knowlton I think it might be due to inexperience and being nervous

[@spydergs07]

Normally the younger cops feel like they need to prove themselves.

[@thepigeon5900]

because they're eager for power. older cops understand that they cant control everyone and everything.

[@Stoneybv]

Once talked with a younger officer and he was chill asf

Howd it go?

hey, just wanted to let you know you just got yourself a new subscriber in the Dominican Republic!! you're the reason I started to learn about police as a career. keep up the good work

[@TheBeanMan00]

I'd be okay if I got pulled over by you, I would probably ask you to print a second ticket and have you sign it lol.

[@officebear4637]

I've been debating of signing up for the selection process to become a cop. The only thing hindering me is the polygraph. Sure I've done some shit in the past, maybe more than others, but I'm wondering really just how reliable those machines are... I'm pretty sure that they go ahead and test your internet usage in the past 5 years anyways, so yeah. I don't think I should risk it. They told us at an information session that we'd be surprised by how many people are handcuffed rather than given the job, due to undetected crimes having become detected. I used to think it was a bullshit scare tactic, but now I think it might be true. What do you think or know? Do they actually check that much into your past?

[@officebear4637]

Please let me know +officer401 thanks

[@Carred20]

Go watch Adam Ruins everything on the polygraph. It basically is a scare tactic.

[@768lbman]

I've taken several polygraphs. Some done by private companies, others by department detectives during a hiring process. The test is flawed and it's just not accurate. You're expected to remember any little detail of anything you've ever done. Things sit in the back of your head, and you may not remember them. That will cause you to fail. If you have surpressed anything, your brain still remembers it. It's best to just think things through and give an accurate answer to the best of your ability.

[@officebear4637]

***** Well, if I'm honest I'll basically be admitting to undetected crimes which altogether could add up to more time behind bars than I care to admit. It all depends on how reliable their background check is... Like, how can they prove that you did anything? It could be anyone who looked that stuff up online, anyone in the household, you could just say it's a relative that used your device or whatever. So what's the point of the whole thing if they technically can't even prove that you did it? The only way they can prove you did that shit is if you confess to it on tape.

[@davidb8777]

I think polygraphs are absolute BS. What they are really hoping is that you will crack under pressure and simply admit stuff. Absolute junk science.

[@grimm8429]

Rapidly becoming one of my favorite KZbinrs. keep up the good work.

[@officer401]

I really appreciate that and that is a great thing to hear! I'm glad to have you as a part of the community!

[@colby1662]

Darth Sadis I second this

[@nonelost1]

Officer 401, what you said about answering the question "why do you want to become a police officer?" reminds me of the scene in the 1987 movie "The Untouchables", where Sean Connery asks police academy candidate Andy Garcia "why do you want to become a cop?". When Andy Garcia starts spouting out the robotic answer that the Chicago PD drilled into him, saying, "to protect, to serve…", Connory interrupts and says "I don't want to hear that crap! I want to hear the REAL reason!"

[@guyshepard9658]

HOLY SHIT I GOT A VIDEO SUGGESTION. What's your favorite Cop movie?

You hit the nail on the head, Sir. Integrity. Even if it's painful and results in some "awarded" time off- you can never get it back. I think of it along the same line as perjury. 18 year PO here, and I've seen it over and over. If you foul up making an honest effort, my experience has been that the real supervisors will help you out from getting crucified- even during the head hunting times.

[@codybear4635]

Honestly honesty is absolutely key 🔐 that and integrity I just got hired as a DO for my county and was 100% honest with them about my past drug use and if you’re honest it’s seriously not a big deal. But when they did offer me the position they gave me a last reminder to be honest with them always if you’re honest they’ll work with you, lying is definitely not tolerated nor should it be!

[@heightsofsagarmatha]

That's weird because it means they failed at DARE and lost the War on Drugs but want graduates of those programs to tell you how they failed the young people. Remember that US police lost the War on Drugs, 100,000+ Americans died of fentanyl overdose in 2021.

My daughter is 20 and is an MP in the Army. She loves it but has already decided that she’ll want to go into the FBI after she’s reached a certain point in her Military career. She just started taking college courses to get her Criminology degree and another degree in something else that I can’t remember right now. Lmao! She’s been told that if she decides to be a civilian cop, she’s got it made after being an MP in the Army. And the PT…her 1st day in basic they ran them 6 miles. She threw up twice and got yelled at for it. The 3rd time she threw up she did it while still running. She didn’t get yelled at that time.
