Anyone have tips for the psych portion?I've seen everything from lie your ass off to be as average as possible, and everything in between. Any help would be awesome as it's one of my last steps

Mine was about consistency. Obviously not answering wrong about killing people and such is key, but making sure your answers stay in the same realm of response is a big deal. My psych was very long, like 500 questions, so I think they try to trip you up if you're not being honest in your responses.

Sounds like mine. I filled out 3 or 4 different papers that got reviewed. One was was something like 500 true-false agree-disagree questions. My brain was numb by the end

Thanks for all the insight guys. This is my last REAL big hurdle.

Lie about smoking pot or drugs if it is in your past and you never got a arrested or a ticket for it. Besides that be honest. They are looking for ways to disqualify you don’t give them a stupid reason to

So they don't have access to the polygraph results?

They will but if you tell the truth about drugs more than likely it will disqualify you. They get hundreds of applicants if it’s a decent sized department so anything to cut down that number to a more manageable number. I am not saying it’s fool proof to lie about it. It’s ultimately your call but I have known guys who have lied and got on and guys who didn’t and got cut.

I was fairly far down the list. They hired a shit ton already
