If you understand Affirmative Action then you should know that it doesn't matter if the person is qualified or not. If they have a position open that has to be filled by a minority, they will fill it with the best person they have, qualified or not. So if all applicants from one race have arrest records or have done drugs, then they must choose the applicants that have committed the lesser crimes, so that they can fill the position and comply with the law.

I dont know much about LVMPD's poly, but I have  heard that they mold their hiring structure around LAPD's. If that is true, I don't know if I'll even waste my time applying for them.  I know of several quality departments out there where an applicant does'nt have to deal with b.s. like I have heard is going on in theirs.  I will get my masters degree in January which is when I plan to start testing with a few departments.  I can assure you that LAPD and LVMPD won't be on my list.

I have a few pals that work for Vegas metro and they seem to share the same belief that polygraphers are    
A-holes. I have been playing with the idea of applying to them for a few years, so I did so two weeks ago.  I tested with the other locals and I had the good pleasure of seeing one of the departments poly examiners.  At least thats   what I was told from a few other guys testing.  All I can say is that she seemed like a complete jerk.  As we were all in the hallway waiting to take our test, she walked by looking all pissed off at the world. One of the guys in line said hello to her and she just gave him a dirty look and kept walking.  I always say that if someone hates their job that much           quit.

That wasn't a "hate my job" look. That was a "power and punitive lust" look. She is not smart enough to realize that not to return a simple hello, is self degredation.

Officer Sean Curd arrested for possession of cocaine and steroids; Det. Joe Kelly suspended for losing a kilo of cocaine; Mark Beckerie fired for transferring his dry cleaning bill to fellow officer; officer Mike Ramirez forced a couple to give each other oral sex as he watched; officer Arthur Sewall forced prostitute to give him oral sex; officers Chris Fisher and Ron Mortenson fired several shots at hispanics on street corner while off duty. All these fine gentlemen are part of the LVMPD. It seems that their polygaph policy is definately keeping the dirty cops out of their department.

Private, let's not forget detective Vinten Hartung who was charged with molesting a 15 year old boy while using alcohol to lure him, and off duty officer Richard Splinter who threatened man by showing his gun to him during an argument at a softball game.  These guys also were part of the Las Vegas police force.  I wonder how they did on their polygraphs.

I work with women like that.  Sounds like she is just a pissed off miserable human being. What is very sad is that a person that she gives a poly to can make one false move that she doesn't like, and their career as a police officer could very well be ruined.  Its all in the palm of her hands.

Lawndawg, I am sure LVMPD is hiring many good cops.  However, they have definately hired too many bad ones as well.  The polygraph can be more than partly blamed for this situation. The people that pass their polys are assumed good guys while the ones that dont pass are told to get lost.  This is not smart because its no secret that many people can beat a polygraph exam with or without cheating on the exam.  On the flip side, many innocent people are wrongfully accused as being liars.  I don't think LVMPD is a bad department, I just think it could use some help.  Where else have you considered applying to?

I dont want to throw stones at Las Vegas p.d., but I would venture to say that it rates among the top 5 most corrupt departments in the country.  What does it tell you when the whole city consists of casino based industry. The mayor himself is a former mob defense attorney.  It doent take a Sherock Holmes to figure this out.

Hawaiian, the primary department I am considering is North Las Vegas; they pay more, but they also use the CVSA.

Whats with all the noise about LVMPD?  I didn't realize that their department is any different than many others in the country.  Maybe some of you guys should post your complaints on formal police message boards.  I dont know why anybody would want to live there anyway. Have you seen it during the daytime?

I have no intention of getting anyone in trouble, but I have to make mention of a Las Vegas cop who just recently got hired who is a complete insult to the badge he will be wearing.  This guy I have known for over 5 years.  He has partied with more drugs than typical rock band. He has worked as a salesman for the last few years and has recently decided to become a cop. Just the kind of police officers I want my tax dollars going  to.  I  dont know how he got hired. That's what made me and a few other people who know him well wonder how he got past his background check.  He must have passed his lie detector test, which doesnt surprise me because he is a slimeball.

Kathy, why do you think the guy is wrong for passing his polygraph.  Don't you realize how common of an accurance that is.  Maybe he is a slimeball like you say, but it doesnt take a certain type of person to pass or fail a polygraph.  I think more has to do with chance than anything else.
