Re: Got the boot today
To the OP,
I am sorry you could not make it to the process. Any hard drug such as steroid, crack, cocaine, etc.... are an automatic DQ. Thanks for telling us the truth and good luck with the other agencies you have applied to. It's not a matter of how long ago you took steroid. It is an automatic per FHP policy.
Good luck!!!

Re: Got the boot today
I experimented with marijuana once when I was 18 years and 8 months old. 5 months later I applied to an academy in FL which did a poly and interview. I told the truth and was immediately rejected, as I should have been. The interviewer was very professional and he told me to stay the course and stay clean. Above all, he told me to better myself and get some experience to make my application stand out. This was Manatee Co Votech.
Several months later, I attended a recruitment seminar with the Orlando Police Dept. The recruiter told me I had no chance and referred me to an Army recruiter. I joined the reserve as an MP, deployed a couple of times and went to college part time.
At age 28 I was hired by a large SO in FL, age 31 hired by USBP, and age 33 FAMS.
I was always truthful and consistent about my marijuana usage. I believe that agencies look at the total package and make a decision based on all of your qualifications. Also, during a bad economy, thousands of people apply to be cops. Not to live their dream or to make a difference, but to have a paycheck. When the economy improves, so will the likelihood of you getting a job in LE. Meanwhile, take some college courses, read some books, workout, learn spanish, in other words better yourself. Your time will come...and no, you're not going to be too old.

Society needs LEO's with high standards for their own personal behavior. And, there are plenty of people who are "clean" and can be expected to not be "tempted" into illegal behavior when on the job.
Seem like it's time for the WM greeter application. Live with it. :evil:
