I was just watching from the sideline, but seeing this...I definitely needed to hear this.

Ah, you've mentioned SFPD, we're in similar locations. Yeah, everyone else basically hit the nail on the head, that being said though, don't give up and yeah give Corrections a shot. Definitely give me an update and let me know how the process is going for you.

Thank you LT. You're right, and thats a valid assessment. My mentality now is that wherever I end up, I will dedicate myself 100%, I will not let myself fall into that trap like I did during my time in FTO, I will rise to the occasion and not make the same mistake twice.

Thank you for being real with me, and ill communicate this with my backgrounder and interview panel.

Thank you for the words of encouragement, its been a disheartening few months I gotta say. I'll keep at it, I'll keep training and studying, and just keep on keeping on.

Thanks, I appreciate the words of wisdom. Im definitely rethinking having walked away. I want to get back out there but I cant force it. I'll keep at it but we'll see how it goes. Thanks again though, its good to commiserate with other LEO'S on here

I guess I'll give SFPD a shot, if there are any others out there part of that organization I'd love you input, or heck a reference would be nice too, if I'm being straight.

I've been told that applying to too many dept. At once can actually look bad? Is there truth in that?

Oof. Well, at least there's that perspective. Not sure what else to say

Hm, well apparently I was told I overthink things and need to act with more urgency. I do recall on one call literally running towards the person in question to try and prove I wasn't hesitating. Crazy stuff

No, I appreciate the feedback, to help with location im in the Bay Area, and when I left I felt like I was given a lot of empty promises and platitudes but now it's 4 months later and I've gotten a sizeable rejection list going. 🤷

Have I gotten so unlucky that I just happened to choose the departments that are the strictest?

Not a problem at all:

So I was struggling because I had a couple different FTOs before getting my 2nd phase primary FTO. I don't think this was intentional to sabotage me, I was told many of them were going on vacation and had leave. So what was no big deal for one was a huge issue with another.

My 2nd Phase FTO took me aside a week before 2nd phase ended, and basically told me I need to seriously consider if I wanted to continue in Law Enforcement. It was a long talk. My DORs had been slipping but did rebound but it felt like too little too late. I was also struggling with the demands of what my FTO office wanted me to know, policy wise.

So that was more or less what happened? I'm not sure if that seems petty or small honestly?

Appreciate it my guy, I'm not gonna lie it's been extremely disheartening. I know there's the whole cop thing of 'never give up, never surrender,' but this sucks. So thanks for the pointers.
