I am currently trying to become a Police officer in Massachusetts. I know I have some unattainable things working against me but am looking for some pointers and feed back on things I can do to make my self a more appealing applicant. I never thought about being a LEO until about 7 years of working in the trades good job but not to sound cliché but I just got sick of going to work and making someone rich while not really feeling like I was making a difference.
Things I have that I think are positives.
1-Currently hold MA LTC-A and have an extensive background in firearms both shooting theory and hands on breakdown.
2-Working In the electrical field I was a foreman in charge of multiple people and had to work with people on the day to day solving problems personal and professional(I know this isn't like dealing with an unruly drunk or otherwise but it's what I have to work with).
3-Federal curio and relic’s license.
4-NRA certified pistol, home defense, home safety instructor and chief range safety officer.
5-I am signed up to get my EMT certificate in a month.
6-I have been for the past 2 years installing maintaining and monitoring surveillance systems.
The only thing that I can't really get is veteran status I have Celiac's disease which is a disqualifier for any armed services. I really appreciate any and all feed back I took the civil service last time around got a 92. I am also signed up for the Wellesley test coming in July and filed out my application for the Dighton openings. Thanks again for any help or direction.
