Are tattoos ok at Riverside sheriff academy

Question

I am wanting a career change with Riverside Sheriff's but I have a lot of tattoos not gang related nor odscene--Asian inspired actually two sleeves. Is this going to be a problem getting hired/ I hear from some it's ok I hear from others its not. Only answer with experience please.

Answer 1

No, I don't think tattoos will have any factor in whether you will get hired or not.  If they do that it is a bit prejudice.

Answer 2

Whatever department or government agency..... you might get in but you screwed the pooch so to speak. Once in you might get offered something huge that pays much better.

The assumption is made as you try to move up the ranks is that you needed tats to express who you are. Instead of just having inner confidence and being who you are.

The real world intrudes. It is a shame actually that so many destroy their futures.
