I have a serious question about the questionare to become a police officer?

Question

Any police officer i would greatly appreciate the help but i dont quite understand the questionare part. They ask you all these questions for example have you stolen before? Is this a trick questions everybody sometime in there life has stolen something maybe from there brother or sister, or am i looking at that wrong. Also they ask for you to explain do they want you to tell them how it happened or do they want you to explain how you changed from the event that happend thanks? Oh yeah how does mp experience look and going to iraq look for getting a job as a police officer.

Answer 1

Go to cop school.

Answer 2

Being MP will help immensely.

As to the question about stealing they are talking shoplifting and ask because your lie detector testing will be based upon the answers you give. If you say no then the detector pops yes?? The question should be rephrased as you have read into it. I did the same on Psychological--do you like your Mom since adopted which one? Liked one not other so?

We all have taken a government pen or is it stole a government pen because it says US GOVT?

Answer 3

Ill try to cover as much as possible.  Answer the questionaire so completely that it wont require additional inquiry. For example, list everything you ve ever stolen from any job you have ever had, including pens, paper, office supplies, food, whatever.  List anything you took from the grocery store as a kid...candy, sodas, everything. Now I know this sounds like alot, but they will end up asking you about it anyway, and in LA County yo uget polygraphed on your answers, so put some thought into the process.

Military experience is a plus, but by no means does it give you a free pass into the agencies, but it will pay off later during academy training because the academy will not be such a shock to you.
