With the falling recruit numbers, police departments around the country are dropping the requirements for applicants. I have never thought about the subject until reading of the reduced requirements. Having no college under my belt, this sparked my interest.
Previously I tried to enlist in the core and was immediately rejected due to lack of credit hours. Not really wanting to enlist in the army I gave up and turned to my flying hobby, and acquired my A&P (Airframe&Powerplant license). Now working at Midlothian Regional Airport as a flight engineer and mechanic, I've realized this company is no long term solution. I don't know any one on the force to ask questions, and have no idea of what the academies are looking for.
I got my G.E.D around 17 and helped my father run his business for years; I’ve worked on every thing from cars to race cars to planes, helicopters, and jets.
I am an Eagle Scout and have worked at high adventure mountain climbing and hiking camps teaching every thing from first aid to survival classes. I'm a jack of all trades so to speak. And all my friends and family say if the world was ending I'd be the one they'd want around. But as I said I only have a G.E.D and no college. Any advice on what to expect or if I would be anything the academy is looking for from officers or knowledgeable persons would be helpful. Thanks ,Mike
