8 Months to be assigned a BI for LASD
So I'm processing with LASD for deputy sheriff. Spoke with someone this week since I been waiting about 3 months for a BI. Lady says it will take about 8 months to be assigned one. Wow. I guess everyone wants to join LASD

Be patient and consider applying for other 1 or 2 more agencies as well. Don't hang your hat on one department in the hopes you will get hired.

Yea I know about the high volume of applicants. I will definitely take that CA job if offered.
I also applied for Security Officer with LASD, the process seems to be going a lot faster since I already took my Poly and just waiting to get my Medical. thanks for the advice Armed 24-7! |

I know a couple of guys who went from application to academy appointment in 5 months for Riverside County, might be an option.

Did you look into OC Sheriff or San Diego County? I know San Diego is hiring like crazy. I agree with applying for two other agencies. It takes a lot of time/patience to get hired in these jobs. officer.com is a great resource.
OC had their PAT and written in October, IIRC. |

I am current in lasd's process. I have passed my background and passed my vpat. Currently waiting pysc. I've been waiting now for over three months to hear on a pysc date. If you have any questions feel free to pm me

OC is moving fast. They're testing every month. I tested mid July and I'm about done - completed written, pt, psych, medical, home visit. Just waiting for the background to finish. Other younger guys have finished faster. Might be worth it if you want to get hired faster.

Ron-Solo is right, lots and lots of patience lol
LASD does indeed take quite a while. I first sent out my application on Nov. 1 of last year so I've been in the process for over a year now. About a month ago my background was completed and passed. Last week I passed the VPAT so now I'm just standing by to complete my psych and medical exams. Then the final last step is the Captain interview at Personnel. He makes the decision whether to put you in an academy class or not. Hoping for the best! |

Also, we did not have a Capt. interview, just an oral board and none of the other tests were as extensive as the ones now. I honestly do not recall if they even had a psych test back then, because I can't recall taking one. I will surmise they did not, since I was hired. If you really want LASD, then as Ron (a good buddy who I worked a few assignments with) said, patience is in order. |

Thanks everyone for the input/advice. I know this line of work is the hardest to get into and easiest to lose. Just plugging in applications to places that are hiring.
BTW, I have a written test for Beverly Hills PD early December OR I was invited to participate in the process with Henderson PD (nevada) the whole first week of December. I can only do one or the other, opinions?? |

Much better options then LASD right now. Apply at multiple agencies and if no luck, put yourself through a paid school academy like Rio Hondo used to have. Many agencies come down there to hire right from the class. My brother got hired after only 3 weeks in the class and they reimbursed all his expenses as well. You graduate with a post certificate which is good for one year to get you hired somewhere.
LASD used to be the best but far from it now IMO. |

There are a number of active and a few retired LASD members here, including me. Please enlighten all of us LASD and other Calgun members as to what you mean by those statements. They are rather general in nature. Before you do, please read the rules in the sticky near the top of the forum. This is a specialty forum and has rules in addition to the general rules of Calguns. Leo bashing is unacceptable. Thank you.

I have been with LASD for 27 years with 6 to go and have seen what once was a great Department deteriorate over the years. Not to say that there are still not great men and women involved and doing their best but our standards are not what they used to be by a long shot.
I do not want to get into a long debate about this on here but you need look no further then the executive level leadership and all the crap that is going on to know why I have my opinion. |

You sure 3 years? I need to check that, I was told 1 but you may be correct as 1 year seems pretty short when you are trying to get hired and the while process involved. Although you state from last "employer". How about the timeline for post from an academy you pay and put yourself through similar to what Rio Hondo had going before their issues? Still 3 years or is this maybe 1 year? |

Difference between bashing and expressing ones opinion based on their own personal knowledge and Department experience. I think I am well within the guidelines to share my opinion based on that. Whether you agree or disagree is of no concern to me. I would give the same advise on LASD to any of my friends or family who were also considering applying. |

2 years and 1 year renewal i believe. That's what they told me at the orientation.

Riverside is not the standard POST test. It is their own test, fairly lengthly.
