          Should I schedule a meeting with the watch commander of a random agency and lay all my cards on the table so I don't waste the depts. Or my time in applying?

            Agencies are filling vacancies from retirements and terminations. Many agencies also received federal grant money to staff patrol operations. There really are very few NEW positions. Sacramento County Sheriff does not even run an academy anymore!

              lots of reserve positions...but its a good foot in the door and a lot of agencies like to hire straight out of their reserve pool... I'm processing now for a reserve spot..

                For now... I'm sure they will bring it back. Gotta remember, the use A LOT of reserves, and most work 30+ hours a week... Their staffing numbers are kinda misleading.

                  Unless you are that picture perfect candidate that they like. No one is hiring to fill the need.

                    Think of it this way, the process can take up to a year and a half to complete and it's not going to take anything away from your school work unless you are offered a position. And if you're like me I dont think you would have a problem dropping from school if offered a career.

                      Thats what happened with me. But make sure to get the degree still while you are working.

                        They will in maybe 5 years! You are correct about the 'On-Calls' that are double dipping!!

                          Not too bad considering the economic climate.
