Law enforcement Question?
Hey yall hope everyone is doing well today, just had a quick question to ask. I am currenlty in college i will be graduating in about one year my major is criminal justice. I would like to know can i still be a police officer if i have a reckless driving on my record. Also, is there anything i could do to help my chances of getting on the department, I have rode with police officers and have did patrol operations with them so i was going to put that on my application. Is there anything else yall know of that i could do that will look good on my appication. All answers are appreciated and yall have a nice day. Thank You!
You know that really depends where you live and what that police department's policy is on it. I live in Philly and took the police test there a year ago and that question wasn't on my question booklet as far as i know. If you were convicted of a crime generally if it's a felony you're not gonna stand a chance getting on the force. It's best to come clean and tell them what the deal is. they can always find out and if they find out ur lying ur screwed. so be honest after you take the test and hopefully you get on.
FYI my city let convicted drug dealers on the force, so don't feel discouraged.
In recent years there has been an increase in the use of helicopters by law enforcement. Helicopters provide a clear advantage to law enforcement. They offer speed, a bird's eye perspective, and the use of specialized sensors such as infrared that enable them to "see" in the dark. A career flying law enforcement helicopters is definitely within your reach and can offer excitement as well as financial rewards and job security.
Most, but not all law enforcement agencies require that you be a law enforcement officer before you become a pilot. This means attending the police academy and spending time in a patrol car or walking a beat. This will expose you to the situations that police officers on the ground encounter daily and you'll be better able to determine the best way to assist with an air unit. Some police aviation units, like the Maryland State Police Aviation Unit, are comprised of civilians. Others hire agencies to provide the helicopters and the pilots.
The scope and depth of law enforcement operations varies with the department. In general, larger departments have more capabilities than smaller departments. Some departments fly under VMC (visual meteorological conditions) only which means they need to be able to see the horizon to maintain the proper orientation of the aircraft while others operate in IMC (instrument meteorological conditions) which is flight solely referenced to the flight instruments. Some departments have forward looking infra red while others only have a spot light and others fly using night vision goggles.
Law enforcement flying for the most part is done close to the ground. Law enforcement helicopters are usually trying to find people and vehicles that are hidden or are trying to evade and/or escape. Because of this pilots who fly law enforcement helicopters must remain vigilant for obstructions such as towers and wires.
Pay for law enforcement pilots covers a wide range. As you might expect larger organizations receive more pay than smaller organizations. Pay can range from $40,000 per year to $100,000 per year. The benefits received are what any police officer would be entitled to such as a pension, health and dental care.
Law enforcement flying can be very exciting and rewarding. Each police department has its own guidelines on how it recruits and trains its pilots. If you're interested in flying for a certain department contact them and ask about their requirements. You also may want to speak to one of their pilots. They're usually very willing to share information.
