Unsure as to where this question goes..but I just applied for a job with the Phoenix PD .  Is there anyone on the board that is with Phoenix?


I applied to work in the crime lab as I have forensics and chemistry degree.

I already passed poly and background is going well along with my physical ..just letting my BI do his job..

Also..this is not a recruitment site to be sure..but if anyone knows of any lab in their LE agency that is looking for Criminalist or Crime Scene techs..would apply there also.

thank you..

Just because you didn't put it on there doesn't mean that they didn't pick it up, or maybe they missed it or maybe they didn't care.  Each department is different.  Some really don't give a hoot who you have applied with.  The very first department I started with 
practically hired anyone as long as there was no NCIC criminal history and the 5 references the applicant provided and his previous employer gave a good reference.  Fortunately the State jumped in and began to require a thorough background check and random drug tests.  My previous department was one of those in which if you passed their background, psychological and their polygraph then you were "in", regardless of whether or not other departments hired or fired you or if you applied for some agencies you did not reveal on your packet.  The one I am in now is somewhat different in that matter and runs a very thorough background investigation.


Each agency is governed by a different human resources department, different City, County or State ordinances which govern the hiring process.   

The simple fact is that if you lie/omit or "forget" you run the risk of not getting the job.  That is an individual choice, but if you are already lying to get the job I can only imagine what kind of officer you will be when you get out on the streets.
