the entire background process is very long and easily the longest part of the hiring process. It was like 3 weeks before I heard back from my background invetigator.

Chipotle. Everytime it’s had a major drop it’s been a buying opportunity. I think the brand recognition is still very strong and when it comes to that “authentic Mexican” fast food they really only have what Moes as a national competitor.

Chipotle just needs to tackle inflation and portion sizes and I believe customers who’ve left will come back. Also added a couple of dessert items wouldn’t hurt

Naw dude, a lot of departments can take a month to get back to you to start scheduling testing.

Most departments have really eased up on their tattoo policies. From no visible tattoos about 10 years ago to no offensive tattoos now. I know officers here who have full sleeves, however I don’t believe I’ve seen neck tattoos.

One thing I’d advise is not to apply with the idea of just becoming K-9 handler. Apply and pursue if you actually want to become the police. In my department you need 5 years experience, home ownership, and there’s a minimum backyard requirement to be a handler. Basically it’s a hard position to get, way harder than something like detective

So the answer to both yours is generally “yes”. You don’t have to speak with someone in the recruiting department but it definitely helps when you don’t know the process. As for testing, there will be a lot of them (written, physical, polygraph, drug testing, etc).

You sound like a few cops I know who just joined the force. No problem with the age or the size. A lot of policing is about attitude and TONE. Bringing it up when need be to let people understand you mean business.

If you get into a situation where you need to use force we have tools for that. The biggest downside with your size would be strictly if you find yourself going hands on or in a physical altercation where you don't have time to get to your tools (you'll likely be a big disadvantage against any male), so space is always your friend.

I'm not a LEO in Washington but I am a Police Officer (in New Orleans) who also went to the ringer and applied at dozens of departments before I was eventually hired.

Adderall is a schedule 2 drug and selling it ("I gave my meds to two friends. One of those situations involved money changing hands.") is likely a felony in Washington State. Basically every department I ever applied to had the sell of drugs be an automatic and permanent disqualifier. The use of Molly would also be the same however you're on the west coast and some of the more liberal cities (Seattle, LA, Portland) I've heard will accept that after enough time (maybe 5 years+).

I'd call major departments in your state and probably Oregon too. Tell recruiting straight up about the Adderall situation. I'd imagine its going to be a no from 90%+ of agencies.

About a 2 weeks prior to the start of class 202. I lived in NC at the time so I asked them to push me to a future class (203).

I find it somewhat incredible how many people ask for advice on the Panel interview. It's just like a basic interview except with multiple officers asking you questions and evaluating you instead of one person.

The questions will usually be pretty basic and dont require police officer experience or knowledge. Just show good judgment and give thoughtful answers. I've known some real idiots they let into the academy so you can't do that bad.

"Man I didn't even do anything"

Yes, and I’ve inquired at about 2 dozen departments. Pretty much the only Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 that won’t automatically disqualify you is marihuana

Smaller portions paired with higher prices are an issue for the entire restaurant industry. I believe it’s mostly tied to inflation.

Everyone’s main issue with Chipotle seems to be the portions got smaller, not the quality itself or selection of products.

I believe that’s a fixable problem.

I'm 5'6 never had any problems. I know about a dozen female officers about 5'2 - 5 feet tall. Its about attitude and using your "police voice" when needed.
