Just wait until you hit 40 and it will happen. Especially if you spend 8 - 12 hours a day driving a car or sitting on your ass. No need to be a cop for it.
Yeah. Had no real problem keeping weight off till after 40. Now trying to lose even a little is a lot of work.
It was so disgusting and Gil didn't care, so I quit many years ago.
Here is a synopsis of a MA cops post. I'm not exaggerating either, just paraphrasing for brevity:
"Hey I'm number 50 in the list in my town. Any tips for the academy?"
"Your mom is a whore!"
"Dude that's not nice"
"Dude??? What are you a pot head ? You won't make it on the job."
"Ive never used drugs. I just don't like you insulting my mother."
"You need to have thick skin if you want to be a cop. You won't last long. Besides, Steven Meyer of 26 ocean lane in Westport, you have too many tickets to be a cop."
"How the Fxck did you find my name"
{ notification: you have received an infraction for swearing}
"Hey Steve Meyer, your mom is still a whore! And I play golf with chief Jones of Westport PD. I'm gonna tell him you came on here and started shit."
"Wow. I just asked a question. You didn't have to be a dick over it."
{notification: you have been banned for insulting members. And your mom really is a whore.}
Ok maybe a little exaggerated, but not by much.
Looks like we got dropped to #50 spot.
Thanks. I just learned something.the BMG M2 headspace and timing gauge
Thank you all for the advice. Keep it coming. Learning a ton!

"What is is your biggest weakness, character flaw, etc."
I would guess that most police candidates are eager to get onto any department that will take them, not "determine if a particular department is a good fit".I'm here to see if your company is a fit for me

I'd get up and walk out of any interview where that question was asked. All that question does is signal that the interviewer has no training in interviewing and is asking a retard question because they think it's a standard question. It's not. Smart interviewers never ask it. It's insulting to a candidate and would never result in an honest answer anyway. I wouldn't want to work for a boss as stupid as one who would ask me that question. I've never been asked it other than in entry level interviews.
It's rude to put someone on the spot and ask them to give a list of their shortcomings. It's rude to talk down to someone like that. I'm here to see if your company is a fit for me just as much as you want to see if I'm a fit for you. You didn't hear me ask what you suck at, what your company or department sucks at. Plus the answer is always a lie, where the candidate turns a skill or positive thing into a fake weakness that's really a strength......Well I'm such a perfectionist that sometimes I over work myself and my wife gets mad. But it's ok cuz I get twice as many TPS reports out as anyone else. Who cares if my wife divorces me for working til 10 every night.
A better answer is, Well I'm always working on self improvement and getting even better at things I'm good at and interested in. I'd rather do that than focus on things I was never meant to do, like computer programming (assuming you're not applying for a programming job)....Then turn it back into a question "I assume you're asking me that question to determine if my skill set is compatible with the requirements of this job. Is there anything on my resume that I can clarify, or special skills that this job requires that we haven't discussed yet?"
Nah. Lolsooo...you're deleting your NES account?

But then, I could be wrong.
Yeah a police department is not a business and they couldn't give a F less if you walk out. There are a million kids in the state who are qualified for the position and most of them will actually felate you for it.
I was prepared for the question and said "there is nothing about myself that makes me unqualified for this job." And left it at that. The room was silent about 30 full seconds and the questioner gave me a dirty look and "THATS your answer?" I said yes and we moved on.
try the county sheriffs depts as well.....political as hell...but decent pay,no age restrictions, get deputized and can work police details.Don't sell yourself short. Take the exams for BP, Customs, ICE/HSI, DEA, Capitol police etcs.
I'll give the Feds credit for one thing. For the most part, take the exam, score high enough get the job. None of this political BS.
For the most part......
If your white or don't have a connection don't bother.
