Law Enforcement Officers: I would like to go to the academy; What's the best way to be selected?
I do not have a degree, but I have college experience and I went to an audio engineering school and graduated. I do plan on obtaining a bachelors degree for some opportunity to move up, but I may want to start the hiring process early? When does the polygraph come into play? What were your experiences with the Academy and employment selection process?
Most academies have a college requirement these days. Usually at least 60 hrs. If you don't have the 60 hrs, they won't even look at you for starting the process early, because you aren't eligible. The polygraph is usually around the middle of the process. After you complete the HUGE employment packet and meet the initial heigh/weigh requirements, there is usually a written test, then a video based test, a physical test (push ups, running, etc. Some even have an obstacle course). Then a polygraph, and a psychological test (oral and written). You then an interview with some white shirts (lt's, capt's, majors). Finally you will have a full physical exam and drug test. In my dept when I was hired, it was a six week process, with something to do at least each week. Everything you do gives you a combined score for your eligibility. Nerve racking, but worth it!
