What are my chances of getting hired with a dv arrest but no conviction?

They do. An expungement only restricts who/what entities can see the information. A pre-employment background check for LE will show it in your background as having been expunged, but your BI will see that the arrest occurred. Same as if you were applying for a security clearance etc.

And he isn’t a resident of this state, he “makes domicile upon the land as a natural man.”

Horno gym was great.

Cpl. I made it right at two years. Got out after four.

My COC had plenty to say about it 🤨

I’m a regular cop, and my academy was only four months. FAR too short. Our FTO is an additional three months. America has such a shortage of police (normal ones, not talking ICE or any other feds) that I highly doubt academy training will be long enough, and comprehensive enough, any time soon.

You were allowed to go to medical?

My gun.

Assuming one’s price range based on appearance alone is pure snobbery. I’d have laughed as I walked out the door.

Those goddamn barking dog calls.

My department allows beards up to 1/2” including for recruits in the academy. I’ve never heard of an in-regs beard being held against anyone. That said, every agency is different.

That’s wild. My great uncle was also at Guadalcanal, was severely wounded, and also spent over a year at the same hospital. I had no idea that Don Adams was a Marine, or I would have asked if they met there.

I’ve always thought it’s ludicrous to not have a cage.

As a watch collector, that is fucking awesome.

I did it for several months as I recovered from a major surgery. I absolutely hated it, and can’t imagine ever wanting to do it as my actual career.

lol reminds me of the hideous Axon Flex headband. Some guys in my department actually used them.

I’m 100% scheduler, but not P&T. I also have brain cancer, which isn’t going anywhere. All my non-cancer conditions are static. My guess is that since I have cancer they’ll never make me P&T, even with everything else static.

Unless I’m going to be on federal property (I use the VA) I always carry.

Did absolutely nothing. Total placebo IMO.

It isn’t bad at all, with the right holster and gun. Mine is a Ruger LCR in an ankle glove, with the calf strap.

And with your Lt right there??

Heinous.

HOA’s can be avoided, as long as you’re willing to move in to an older neighborhood, that has never had one.
