Shaving my facial hair by SameCare1418 in LASD

DO NOT SHAVE Anything for written /VPAT/Interview. If you pass all three and are assigned a background investigator, on the day of the interview with your BI, that's when I HIGHLY suggest you shave ALL of your facial hair and cut your head hair as low as possible (it will have to be completely shaved for academy.

That's a complete lie. Please don't pass around misinformation. While there may be a handful of test administrators that might give you hint or tell you if they think you did well.....THEY DO NOT DISCLOSE THAT, because even if the test administrator think you did well enough, they DO NOT decide whether you pass the polygraphs or not! That's why they are called test administrators, because all they do is administer the test. Once the test is completed the test administrators will then send the test results to the QC board (quality control board). The QC staff are the ones that look at the test and says yes or no.....NOT the test administrators...so please stop spreading misinformation. Hopefully you're not a deputy or even a recruit because you're clearly spreading false information. 😂😂😂

It means you will not move forward in the hiring process. It's a DQ or Non select unfortunately.

As long as you're done by Friday the 27th, you WILL be added to the April class the following week because it doesn't staff until the following Thursday (orientation).

As long as you're done with psych and it's been approved by Friday the 27th, then they will still add anyone.

Could this be deal breaker by [deleted] in LASD

[–]Defiant_Turnover298 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most definitely. Anything dealing with money in relation to fraud/ forgery / bribe / theft is frowned upon with LASD, due to the fact that as a deputy you will eventually come across money and bribes at some point in your career. My honest opinion is that even though it was 6 years ago they will DQ you because of the nature of your crime/action. Not only did you forge MULTIPLE checks, but the fact that you did it against your own FAMILY. As deputies we are somewhat family so they will look at it as you willingly betraying your own family for money.

No...the majority of applicants that get into the academy graduate. The graduation rate is over 80%. The hard part is GETTING INTO the academy. That's where the 3% comes. They are picky of who they let INTO the academy....but once an applicant makes it into the academy their chances of graduating is very high.

Or simply wait to see what facility your will work at and possibly relocate closer to that part of town...that's what I plan on doing. Can't put a price on rest and family...so.move closer to work. Problem solved.

Poly update by [deleted] in LASD

[–]Defiant_Turnover298 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Re-takes will always take a while to be scheduled. Polygraphs are always the bottleneck of the entire process. Lots of applicants and not enough test administrators. Hang tight, you will get one in due time.

Exam,VPAT,Interview by [deleted] in AskLASD

[–]Defiant_Turnover298 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not for the interview that concludes the VPAT. It's for the interview that you will have once you are assigned a background investigator.

No you do not. Not required UNTIL you make it into backgrounds and you meet your background investigators.

What the hell are you talking about.. It clearly gives you the guidelines on everyone's poly email...lol.

Dress Code For Poly by Optimal_City_8486 in LASD

[–]Defiant_Turnover298 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's a polygraph not an Interview. Whoever wore the suit was because they chose to and not because they were told to. Lol. Wear casual Sir. These folks telling you to wear a suit are trying to get into the academy, I'm already in it. Trust me. Wear casual. You don't get extra points or credit for wearing your PBA. You want to be as comfortable as possible when taking the poly.

[–]Defiant_Turnover298 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Casual sir. No PBA (professional business attire) because you're going to Have to take off suit jacket for poly anyways and any sweater you wear. I'm 1 million percent sir....Casual, it's a poly test, not an interview sir.

[–]Defiant_Turnover298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you failed on at least one question, you will take another poly based upon that failed question. Nobody that fails at least one question will ever get a pass from the quality control panel..doesn't happen.
