Why can’t they just hire who’s best for the job, regardless of race or gender? This isn’t a catalog or the cast of Power Rangers, it’s a matter of public safety.
@@RRRR-ed1lp In your fairytale world we are all equal. Unfortunately we are not. We all have strengths and weaknesses. Like I said you should seek out a doctor based on identity and not ability.
People do not understand how hard it is to be hired as a police officer....it took 9 months for me to be hired with the Honolulu Police Department....on the first day of recruit school we were called the "one percenters".....out of every 100 persons who started the hiring process only 1 person made it to the first day in the academy...
@@ssgus3682poly is meant to test your nervousness and stress. If you're honest and you're still nervous you won't get hired imagine being called to court and you start sweating not knowing what's going on the judge and attorneys are gonna embarrass you and your arrest is gonna walk imagine if it's for a murder and you can't explain what happened because your under pressure in court and you did the paperwork for arrest. That's why they get Disqualified on the poly.
@@db-rc5fr I can tell you’re speaking out of your ignorance. White women benefit from affirmative action more than any other group in America. Google is free
The more diversity law enforcement has, the less likely we’ll see all of these police shootings of unarmed minorities. Yt people be to trigger happy and scared of their own shadow to be the majority anymore.
The difficulty is weeding out the candidates who can think for themselves. They don't want critical thinking individuals,they want robots that repeat their narrative and lick their boots.
That’s right. They’re targeting those in the dept who are that way. They regularly retaliate against those that hold command staff accountable for violating policy POBOR efc
The process is lengthy and sometimes discouraging. I've worked for 2 departments, one small and one large. The small one took 6 months and the larger took 4. Out of 2000 candidates I was one of 5 hired by the department. This was 2001. If this is your calling stick with it, keep your head up, your nose clean, and prepare, prepare, prepare!
As long as the department fills their classes with people who meet their diversity standards who cares if they’re physically or mentally prepared for the job.
I had a family member who was going to be hired by LAPD, he’d passed both the written and oral interviews with flying colours but as soon as the technician who was administering the polygraph got him strapped in he start accusing him of doing things like curling his toes and pressing his tongue against the roof of his mouth which supposedly are techniques for fooling the test. He then accused him of searching on line for these techniques and informed him that the test was over and told him that he had to sign a form saying he’d cheated on the test before they’d let him leave which he reluctantly did. Over the years I’ve mentioned this to other people who had family in law enforcement and they told me similar stories about how their family member had been booted from the polygraph. Turns out this is an LAPD trick for getting rid of white male candidates so they can hire more female and minority candidates to please the local politicians and leaders in the minority communities. Fortunately for my family member he applied for LA Sheriff next and has over fifteen years with them and is currently on their training staff. LAPD used to be one of the best police forces in the country, but now they’re just a joke that’s loosing experienced qualified officers to retirement all the while scrambling to get recruits that fill their ‘Happy World’ hiring standards.
@@SmokyOle My older son found that out when he applied for and started the hiring process at LAPD. He did well in the written test and the oral interview but the polygraph tech started messing with him as soon as he got into the chair and had him wired up and accused him of trying the cheat on the test. Ultimately the tech threatened him and had him sign a form saying that he’d tried to cheat on the test and dismissed him. But at least it worked out well in the long run as he got onto LASD and now has 15 years under his belt. LAPD ‘Used’ to be a premier police agency but now it has been turned into a bunch of social workers with guns.
I worked LAPD in the 90’s. As a white male I had to get a 99 out of 100 on my oral exam. I got it and it still took me a year to get a class. I left LAPD after spending a few years there and Im glad I left. Looking back now almost 30 years have past and it’s sad to see how screwed up this dept still is.
@@SummerlinRealtor The good thing about LAPD and LASD is that their policies and lack of backing their new recruits is a real boon to other agencies around the state and country. I know that here in Yavapai County where I live they are always looking for trained recruits from the big liberal cities who come to them fully trained so they don’t have to spend massive amounts of money doing the training themselves… It’s a win lose situation.
90 day hiring process? How often is that met? From what I've read, LAPD has a tremendous backlog in background investigations right now, the longest, most expensive but crucial part of the hiring process.
It's possible but not easy. You basically have to be fit accomplish every step right away without interruptions and pass every single step and impress every officer you meet along the way you got to be sharp but if you're busy and taking your time you will be pushed back. Sometimes some candidates files get lost too. Could take a year just to get into the academy but if you really want the job you'll wait and do everything to get ready. You'll study and get fit while you're in the hiring process.
Don't do it...Youre better than that. Especially with local law enforcement...You'll be much happier and satisfied going with a federal law enforcement agency than you would a local one. I'm speaking from direct experience.
@@reb5166 Much of it has to relate to affordable housing for younger persons on the force that are hired at what used to be a starting salary of $65k. Couple decades ago, I worked for a Gov't entity near Los Angeles and I was able to rent a 3bd home in Riverside for $750/mo. Many with families want better schools. And, it's not just cops as I know a guy with the LA DWP who also is in Riverside County. Has multiple friends who have a City sponsored van share for about 6 persons.
@@skid_rowranger8248 your absolutely correct, but to set yourself up for that daily commute is insanity. Wether your LAPD or an equipment operator for DWP, just not worth it in my opinion.
Educate yourself. Defund the police only means to redirect some of the billions of dollars some police departments spend on this crazy stuff that some countries militaries don’t even have to education or to other areas in America that suffering. Most countries police officers don’t even carry guns. Yet, we lead the free world in crime and imprisonment
@@ChosenOne6666 if you look a large percentage of cops with a college degree have a degree that has nothing to do with criminal justice it's usually a degree in business for when they get out of the police so they can start a new career so your theory that college degrees make good cops is flawed
The hiring process is 90 days long THEN you attend the police academy for training after that. Then after the police academy you go for field training.
Exactly. The government is not backing up police at all, and the only way to change it is if the officers stand up for their own right. Looks like nothings gonna change though and these people are just falling into the trap
The Government needs to back up Policing. They uphold order and policies. So all these we don’t need police, how would they react when crimes hits them? Who you gonna call?
they need psycholgical testing and training at least one year, they need to know the culture also they need to live in the neighborhood to the understand people true you have good and bad but i find most people are scared to death when they encounter people and they kill them for no reason they have no skill set when it comes to people no experience they r too young
It's case law that police racially profile. They aren't profiling white people. Your privilege gets you out of that. So unless you've been pulled over for being white, think about what you say.
@@peterhernandez7817 Stop it with that privilege nonsense, it's boring already. LAPD is now made up of mostly minorities, if minorities are being pull over by minorities, would that still be considered profiling? Also, many of us citizens know exactly who the riff-raff is, I'd imagine so do cops.
@@twczzkm It's a systematic approach used by LEOs, not just white people cops. The cops have instilled that crimes are a colored people thing. Just look at arrest rates around the country. Even in states where minorities are a fraction of the population, but hold an overwhelming arrest rate. Facts don't lie. Also, you are privileged. Accept it.
3 out of 100 will only get,hired no Wonder you have a shortage. No wonder nobody wants to join the Department Asks for too much. Nobody has time for that. People have bills to pay.
u cant come into a situation being prejudiced, that s murder u need to listen by this time they have formed their own opinion and prejudices, SAD everyone lives a different life
Please teach them how a simple scale works. ⚖bombsquad cant. fugure it out. It's easy but lapd has to testify in court how much the kilo weighs. It's to much for them.
Next year their going to up their quota of trans cops and they're looking into increasing the numbers of recruits who identify as "Ze/Zem" and "They/Them".
