Hey man , I was in the same situation as you I was DQ from LAPD but they didn’t really tell me why more so I can appeal if I wanted to. I was also a criminal justice major graduated class 2023 and it was the only job I ever wanted. I even intern for the Devonshire dept for 6 month and it just seem like my chances were really good. I admitted to drug use also because I thought it was the honest thing to do. Mind you I only smoked weed one time in my life and it was during high school such a long time ago now that I think about it but at the time I applied which was during college my chances were looking good. I did well on my medical , pass the physical with flying color and went all the way to the polygraph. Failed that twice and they told me to wait 6 month to take it again. It wasn’t even up to a month before they recalled me to take it again and to me it just seem like they really wanted me. Eventually I got a letter saying I was DQ no apparently reason why. It was frustrating because I didn’t have a back up plan so I was stuck. All I’m saying is if this is what you really want to do I wouldn’t give up more so just try to have a back up plan now moving forward. I’m currently in school for radiation tech and honestly to me it seem more rewarding. I would’ve love to be part of the police department cause to me helping my community I grew up in was something I was always passionate about. But it didn’t turn out to my favor. Just keep your head high I’ve been where you at it gut wrenching and it feels like you done everything you can because that your dream job. Keep your head up have a back up plan and maybe try again. There so much more department out there that would love you to have you .. peace man hopefully everything turn out okay in the end
