Hey guys, I was considering the Glendale Police Dept. I have heard many good things... good starting salary, good area, nice/comfortable city...

What are your advices/tips for me???

I am Bilingual w/ a B.A. in Political Science.

You might want to consider Downey PD. They are the 2nd highest paid officers behind Irvine PD.

I think Glendale is around $50k to start and then after a few months it goes up $6-7k. I know a guy in the Glendale PD right now and one who is going to the academy in a month or two. I think Phoenix is starting out $5k higher but if it were me, I would rather not work in Phoenix.

i gotta finish up my last couple of credits for some more certificates. i'm done this december. hopefully i'll get in the process around that time. getting hired is always at least 4-6 months... at least....

l've had lots of the Po Po try and pull me over in my local area where I have lived my whole life and my 700 rwph comes in real handy. They do not have enough time to call in air support or a road block and cannot even read my plate. I do not want to do that too many times since if I were to get caught it would be jail time. HE HE HE.
