if ur a criminal justice major, most of your teachers are probably telling you if u want a police job staying in new york is gonna be a pretty hefty goal. I was hired for henrico county police in virginia but 2 weeks before i was supposed to leave they told me about 90 people failed the polygraph and or background check, i was one of 40 qualified applicants and they wanted at least 90 for the academy so me and 40 other people got shafted. They cancelled the academy and said they will call me next year but i aint waitin that long im goin to take the phoenix test in october.
