[QUOTE="DenverJay, post: 1631342, member: 21405"] Yeah xilix I'd love to have some insight into that from someone on the other side so to speak. Traditionally, I've always scored really high on tests. Most of the apptitude tests I've taken for agencies I've scored 95% or higher on. One test I took for the county sheriff's office where I live I was told I scored higher than anyone ever has. I think I missed one. So, yeah if that's the case, that people who score high on tests get passed over, that could be my problem. As SAD as that is....GAH I can't believe some places do that! That makes no sense to me at all. The decision to want to get into police work is not an easy one as I'm sure you know. Long hours, crappy shifts, working all holidays. You have to really want to do the kind of work where 95% of the people you come into contact with don't want you there and probably have some personal reason to dislike you. Most important I think is that you have make the decision before you ever pursue a career in law enforcement if in fact you have it in you to take someone's life if you have to. That decision doesn't come easily for most. That and the fact that I put myself through the academy at my own expense and graduated with honors as the top shooter should say a lot about my level of committment to the job. I'm sorry for the rambling. Anyway, it's frustrating to say the least. Any insight your father-in-law has I would appreciate. Thanks again. DenverJay [/QUOTE]
