Just when I thought......

Just when I thought all hope was lost regarding my LEO career I received an unexpected call last week from a childhood friend. His story is about the same as mine, shafted by our first dept, yet he was given a second chance and he was kind enough to help me out and put in a good word for me.

I interview with the Chief Deputy this Thursday, wish me luck ok.

Thanks.

 

Thanks Harry!

Thank the lord their app is 1/10 of the other app's I dreaded yet had to fill out. Even though I offer a little breathing room by submitting any and all records (CH/DR/CERTS etc etc etc) they will still research/verify them on their own.

I really want/need this job.

 

Hey Kevin,
How are you?

Yes sir the interview went well and I feel confident that I will get a chance to "walk the walk and not just talk the talk" so to speak. I am fortunate that I have a friend who is with the dept and helped me with the initial introduction and interview. This particular Constables Dept only hire's from their "reserve officers" pool and really it is just like the 90 day probation period.

I appreciate you asking,
Gregg

 

Some here may disagree with you!!

On a serious note I appreciate your support. I love being a Peace Officer and wish I had had enough common sense 20+ years ago and persued the profession then yet I was NOT the person I am today. My friend who got me the interview asked me how I felt it went and all I could say was "It was ok". I was blackballed (one word or two?) by my last dept and in all honesty had/have become majorly depressed after constantly getting turned down even for positions that I am over qualified for such as a jailor.

If I am not offered a position with this dept I am going to persue a "volunteer" career.

Sorry for the short story.
