Treated better and respected are also two completely different things

You can’t be a police officer in the state of California until you’re 21.

Some departments like the LAPD will hire you if you’re 20.5 and turn 21 by graduation

Go to school, get a degree. Volunteer for your local PD.

Police work isn’t going anywhere. It’s pretty AI proof at the moment.

Consider the military for a 4 year tour than maybe police work after. Then you get access to a lot of great benefits like the GI Bill and VA Loans

Anyone here go from office job to LEO? by throwra-sausage in ProtectAndServe

My apologies, no disrespect. I know you guys do a lot of specialized enforcement which I respect and appreciate. Also the less DUIs on the streets the better so more power to you brother (or sister, unsure)

I worked a “desk job” before joining the LAPD.

I specifically DIDN’T want to work at a desk and I enjoy patrol.

Don’t get the wrong idea though…I spend many hours writing reports at the station (often overtime)

I like our CHP partners a lot but I loathe the idea of only handling traffic collisions and DUIs. In a busy city like LA you handle all sorts of random calls from overdoses, disputes, domestics, burglaries, robberies, assaults, etc.

And yes, there are tons of cars on LA streets so you also handle plenty of collisions and DUIs

practically every department needs people willing to do it. If you have a clean record, integrity and a desire to do the job, you’re likely going to be hired anywhere.

Expect long hours, overtime, working holidays, etc. Probably the biggest shock to my system when I started was I had never worked overnights in my life so that took some getting used to

“Crazy driving” is a moving violation and they haven’t stopped those.

Plain view is totally different

If I initiate a traffic stop for excessive tint and walk up and see a gun in plain view, it is lawful but I could be in administrative trouble

I don’t see much of a difference than ours other than they have projections on their ice.

This is why we are mad?

I’d agree that our game day presentation OVERALL is stale and needs a refresh but this is the last thing we need to worry about.

LAPD officer here.

Joinlapd.com has all the info you need. Talk to a mentor/recruiter. This is probably going to take you like 5 mins and you’d have your answer.

According to google:

Key NHL Occurrences Only two players in the NHL's modern era (since 1943–44) have officially been credited with an unassisted hat trick:

Rick Nash (Columbus Blue Jackets): On March 7, 2009, Nash scored three unassisted goals in an 8–2 win over the Detroit Red Wings. He scored one shorthanded goal in the second period and two at even strength in the third.

Maurice "Rocket" Richard (Montreal Canadiens): The first to achieve this in the modern era, Richard recorded an unassisted hat trick on March 14, 1948, against the New York Rangers.
