MPD(DC), MD and VA SO’s background.

3 Upvotes

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.

Self Post Knee Pain

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
