[QUOTE="daustin, post: 15048305, member: 152142"] As mentioned before, common sense will get you far through the testing process. I can't stress honesty through the process enough either. Be 100% truthful on your background; even if it seems really minor, list it. If you don't list it, and they find it, which they will, you will be DQ'd. I'm an LEO and currently do backgrounds. If you make it to an academy, it will be tough. Don't quit. We lost 50% of our academy class with about 30% of those quitting due to the pressure. It's a game. They break you down, build you back up, then the process starts all over again. Looking back, the academy was one of the most fun times of my life. If you asked me at the time though, my answer would have been different. As for divorce, it's true that LEO's have a higher rate of divorce than other professions. That will all depend on the couple. Leave your job on the job and leave home at home. Having been an LEO for almost nine years now, my marriage is stronger than ever and LE really is a rewarding profession. The climate of law enforcement in general sucks right now though. That will change. It goes through cycles. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
