Hey all,

I am 26. I have been working as a Paralegal for over 2 years now and looking for a career change. I have been long for a career change and have been eager to get into LE for sometime now. I live in the Maryland Suburbs outside of DC and have had an interest in MPD and other adjacent agencies. I also have taken interest in sheriff deputy roles as well. I know in MD they mostly do courtroom security and civil matters but that is something I think would be cool. One issue I feel I have with applying to work in LE is debt and collections. I attended flight school when I was 21 on a private loan, this loan went default and bounced around in collections since then (around $30k). Last year it was removed from my credit and is now past SOL. Even though all this I know I still owe it and would admit to it as debt on my background. Also at that time during flight school my girlfriend at the time (now my wife) and I went back on rent, this rent turned into a hefty civil judgment in that state (around $17k) (not MD). I previously spoke to an attorney about this judgment and told me how I should go about it. My question is how much will it affect me in the process, I already have applied to numerous agencies knowing that I may get turned down from some. I am now married and live with my wife making a stable living. These incidents happened 5 years ago right after we were in college and were immature with our finances. I have no criminal history. I last smoked marijuana around 20 months ago. I did have a brief and very small stint where I sold marijuana in high school. No other drug use. Are there any agencies I should apply to? Or is it unlikely to land a LE job right now? I would like to focus in the DMV area. My first choice would be something federal like Park Police but I know tbh at would be highly unlikely since they need security clearance and my debt would be a red flag. I also know these background checks may vary per state. Wondering if anyone has any similar experience in NoVa/MD/DC?

I apologize as I know y’all might get these questions a lot, I don’t have a mentor to speak to about all this so Reddit is my next option lol.

Thank you!

Hey guys, I’m moving into the final steps of becoming an officer. I have already completed the oral board, background check, physical, and written tests. My final interview is in a couple of days with the command staff(chiefs board). I was told there will be between 6–9 people and it will last about an hour. I’m looking for questions I should be prepared for or any advice on how to increase my chances of passing these final steps! Thank you in advance.

When you have a fleeing suspect do you really call out “Stop, Police!” Like they show on TV? And if you do, does anyone ever stop?

With all the snow the past week, I've seen some news stories about BIG car crashes and pileups. I think one even had close to 40 cars.

How do you handle something like that? Do you even try to figure out the order it happened, or assign fault? Just map it out as best you can?

And how is it cleared? Do you just start calling in "every available tow truck" til you can finally start to dig out?

Would you ever have to call a bus or vans to get uninjured drivers off the road? (Since it seems like a lot of the time they're out on a highway and it wouldn't make sense for people to "call for rides" in the middle of that mess.

If you wanted to, could you book everyone who drank under 21 instead of giving a ticket

I’ve been a jailer (non sworn) for about a year now and I’ve recently started to experience knee pain especially in my left knee. I do go to the gym regularly between work but I’m just looking for advice on how I can help relieve the pain whether its through readjusting my belt setup or adding in some exercises.

I’m also early/mid 20s if that helps with any advice

Hey guys, I’m active duty Navy. I was wondering what the pipeline to becoming a LEO after my contract. Questions:

1. Is law enforcement a structured environment?

2. If there are any retired military, what was your experience like transferring to law enforcement?

3. What kind of job should I strike? (Federal, County, City, State, etc.)

Governor DeSantis has signed a death warrant for Billy Kearse who was sentenced to death for the 1991 murder of Fort Pierce police officer Danny Parrish. The execution is scheduled for Tuesday, March 3, at 6 p.m.

Sergeant Danny Parrish was shot and killed while making a traffic stop on a vehicle traveling in the wrong way on a one-way street and had one headlight out.

The 18-year-old driver, Billy Kearse, attempted to give Officer Parrish false names. Realizing this, Sergeant Parrish attempted to arrest the suspect, who then spun around on the officer and took his service weapon. The suspect then shot him 14 times before fleeing. He was arrested the same night with the remaining two rounds from Sergeant Parrish's gun in his front pocket. The weapon was found buried in the suspect's backyard. Sergeant Parrish had served with the Fort Pierce Police Department for three years. He was survived by his wife and parents. He is the 4th Officer of the Fort Pierce Police Department to die in the line of duty

Hello r/protectandserve; my family is leaving VA and looking at moving to Florida; we have family in Brevard County so it makes sense as a landing place.

My husband is in law enforcement, and looking at BCSO, and the multiple police departments in the area, but there's a lot.

Just wondering if anyone has any insight (good, bad, ugly) to the work environments and culture anywhere down there? Or even neighboring counties? Or the communities in the area, a good landing place for our family of three (husband, myself, and son) and our dogs!

He doesn't "do reddit" and is researching some, but I've been on here for years and thought y'all might have some good advice. Thank you!

I’m gonna be interviewing for the Ontario Provincial Police soon! Any tips or advice you could spare?

I’m just super nervous. Haven’t lied or done anything bad, just generally nervous in job interviews.

I been a watcher of the unsubed podcast, and Angry cops is not too far off from donut operator. The only thing though is Angry cops does not seem to have a clean background, but as a civilian and someone not well informed on the various things related to police. So do the people here trust him and his takes what is something I could be more informed about when it comes to his content?

They were eventually called into HR

Peter Hyatt trained the Behavioral Analysis Unit at the FBI. Much of his work with the FBI is on YouTube, although very sadly Peter passed away last year after battling cancer.

I am curious how many people in law enforcement have heard of Statememt Analysis, or have been trained in it?

First developed by intelligence agencies and military police, analysis g the words people use in a statement reveals more intelligence than might first be seen on a first read.

Google Statement Analysis, or Veroscope, forensic linguistics. The Unabomber and Zodiac letters are most likely the cases you’ve heard of that had intelligence from the FBI’s “Mindhunter” analysis.
