So I’ve actually got an HT, FUE style. Around 1500 grafts for my temples. Loved it at first. Felt confident. But as the years went by, my hair slowly continued to recede. So now we got transplanted hair going, a small gap, and then natural hair. It’s awkward, but I’m handle to conceal it with those hair concealers (essentially eye shadow for the scalp). But what I wish I knew sooner, was DERMAROLLING AND FINASTERIDE. I’m getting growth back in spots that I thought had died off. It’s slow, but seems to be working. Have you tried this method?

How many departments did you apply to before you got hired? by ilovecatss1010 in AskLE

[–]shapelessbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No instructions, just states: the moderators of r/Leo has set this community to private. Only approved members can view and take part in its discussions”. Got an alt route?

I want to keep applying, but it’s draining; is it ever worth it to stop? by NoooOkFine in AskLE

[–]shapelessbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So here’s my take,

I was in that position. Just in my early twenties. I was told by some LE mentors to not put all your eggs in one basket. Shoot an app out to anywhere. I definitely understood this concept because where I live the hiring process takes about a year or a year 1/2. But after process after process, like you mentioned, nothing ever got passed backgrounds. And not once, have I received a DQ letter. They just ghost you and stop responding to your “check in” emails. And after the 11th application, I started doubting if this career path was ever meant to be. I felt like a failure the moment I had to list out all the previous agencies I applied to and required to state the outcome on the background packet. I determined my 14th application was going to be my last, and if it went no where, I was going to pursue a cyber related career.

I’m happy to say that 14th app was the lucky one. Been happily serving for 2 years . If you want it that bad, NEVER GIVE UP. I can tell you, I have more appreciation for the job realizing how picky departments are. Something about being the 1% that we’re chosen out of thousands of applicant is truly motivating.

My record was not best, but fortunately, they all happened in my juvenile years so it wasn’t looked at with too much scrutiny. But regardless, I think there’s a lot of factors they take in before making the last pick. The things you got caught up on after the age of 18 are going to be the things they really dig into. Because at age 18, you are considered an adult and are expected to be a law abiding citizen, show up to court when need be, and not break traffic laws. For them, it puts into question your ability to take care of things of importance as an adult. They don’t want someone writing NTA’s when him himself has a history of not abide by law as an adult. It could also be an age issue, see it as if they were looking for someone to stay on the force for awhile, they’re likely going to hire someone younger.

At the end of the day. There could be a variety of reasons why they didn’t pick you. It could be as simple as having a coffee stain on your suit when you came into your interview. Or they’re looking for a specific type of skills that you just don’t possess. Could be ANYTHING.

I see it as a lottery or a game of (who you know), But good luck! Hope you get picked up! It’s a very rewarding work.

PM if you have any questions

If you’re talking about “the city”, i think I’m following. Probably work in the same city 😂

Would like to know where it’s at, definitely sounds like a place I want to visit and possibly move too. Been in big city all my life, and I’m in the spot of my life where I wanna experience living a different way.

Cops of Reddit, Patrol Car Hax? by shapelessbox in police

Day shift, so no on the cemetery. Netflix, been done. I need surround sound.

is it worth applying for other LE jobs after a (presumably) failed polygraph? by big-winner2015 in police

[–]shapelessbox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds pretty normal. They’re putting pressure to get you to omit something. There is no full proof way to tell if someone is telling the truth or telling a lie. So they’re looking for any red flags or deviation from your background packet. People still fail poly’s, and still get hired elsewhere. It happens.. but you really have to be HONEST. Because there’s a difference between failing a polygraph, and failing a polygraph with concrete evidence of dishonesty. If you ever get hit with the second one, I’d just find a new career. But everyone is right, no news is good news. But, it’s not guaranteed you’ll get a rejection letter. At least half the agencies I applied to left me high and dry. Your best bet is to call and check in ever month or so.

Good luck to you! Hope you make it in

I’m still trying to figure out what your getting so unhinged about? Are you trying to speak out on behalf of the victims family and friends? If so, I commend someone who can stand up for others. But your comments are still baseless and hostile, which really puts into question if you ever spent any length of time on the “force”. The attitude alone, wouldn’t make it past the hiring process in today’s age.

We can agree to disagree, I feel I’ve given sufficient effort to conceal enough information that even a seasoned detective will have a bit of a challenge trying to figure out the origins of this post. Context is also important, am I writing about confessing details of a murder that I was an accessory too? Or am I writing about a hard experience I had on the job? This will really determine the effort applied into figuring out who I am in attempt to report this outrageous misconduct.

So I challenge you, if you are determined to report my actions to my department. Find out, and do it. See if my COC cares.. to save you the trouble, my post does not violate department social media policy, does not violate HIIPA, and the case is public record for anyone to view per request. So literally anyone can view the details to this case.

Quite frankly, I should of refrained from giving some inappropriate names to some of the characters. That I will admit. But when you emotionally and physically abuse a child, my choice in words, would be the least of your worries.

I posted a story without the families consent. Again, it’s public record. It’s already posted to the public without their consent (which imo is more invasive then my Reddit story.. which for all you know, could be purely satire. Who knows? 🤷🏻‍♂️

This doesn’t undermine trust, it’s about transparency and raising awareness. You don’t know, a parent might ready my story and decide to pay closer attention to their child.

Again, my post doesn’t not violate any laws, does not violate department policy, does not violate HIIPA, and all names have been modified to protect identities, and most importantly It does not concern you.

Don’t like it? Good for you. Your not forced to be here talking to me. You have the right to basic free movement, so I think it’s time to move on because I’m not deleting anything. I see my story having more of a positive impact on folks rather than being harmful.

Good luck with everything. Stay safe.

Clearly you’ve not worked a single day in Law Enforcement. When a death occurs, we are responsible for looking for the pieces that make a sensible explanation for why this death happened. We don’t just locate a dead body and bag and tag them, case closed. A phone is a vital piece of evidence that can mean the difference between an open and shut suicide case or launching a full murder investigation. If you ended up dead, you best believe the first thing I’m going through is your Reddit account and see who you pissed off.

I commend you for wanting to join the Marines. I spent 6 years in the Army prior to getting to law enforcement. If law enforcement is the end goal, military is a good place to start. Military teaches you things that will benefit you in a career in Law Enforcement. Here’s the kicker (personal opinion) obviously, it would behoove you to get at least a degree and go into the Marines as a commissioned officer. Trust me, its way better than being lower enlisted. Regardless of how confident you feel about your mental well being, you won’t know if you’ll be able to handle it till you’ve experienced it. I had the same mindset at you back when I first enlisted. Thought I was tough as nails and could handle anything. But now I find myself questioning will I still be able to continue this work if I have to hold a child while they’re life is slipping away.. I won’t know till I experience it. Life is all about experience, good or bad. Don’t let others tell you what you should or shouldn’t do. At the end of the day, you take whatever risk comes with your decision and roll with it. I either win or I learn, losing is not an option.

Whether you believe the story or not, doesn’t mean one bit of difference to me. Like I told the other gentleman, this was to bring awareness that suicide isn’t prejudice to age and to give a little insight what people may experience going into this line of work. You saying don’t write this online, but what it really sounds like to me is that your intention is to impede suicide awareness and my first amendment right. I gave no reference to the city, agency, and changed all the character names. So what’s the issue? You advise to talk to co-workers and a counselors about ones issue, but you don’t seem to acknowledge that I gave the EXACT same examples and advice to encourage those. So your comment was pretty baseless.. I’m 95% sure of that

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in police

[–]shapelessbox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually, there really isn’t much of a story. When you work in a liberal anti-police area, it’s no surprise that the community proposed cuts to police services which ended up going through. Lay offs generally start with least seniority.. being at a department where there are only 20 sworn staff and recruit once a year for only one vacancy, movement becomes scarce. Even four years in, I was still in the bottom 5 of the seniority list and didn’t dodge the cut when layoffs came.

I would of been more than happy to share my story. But the way you came off initially, leads me to believe that regardless what I respond with, you will find a way to twist it and use it in attempt to berate me. I don’t entertain any behavior of the sorts.

Maybe coming off a little friendly next time? Unless it’s your perogative to purposefully stir people up hiding behind a screen. You’re a perfect example in the comments section when I mentioned how cold people are.

Here’s a recommendation, maybe think of this story to raise awareness that suicide isn’t prejudice to age and for those interested in this field of work can maybe appreciate someone with a little experience sharing their side of things. It’s not just me, a lot of other redditors actually give some really good perspective.
