"We are very dedicated in our objective to hire only the most qualified individuals through a strong commitment to our hiring standards."
That sentence sums up the high reputation of Las Vegas Metro. Unless you have an immaculate background, are in excellent health, and can pass the polygraph, save your time and plane fare. I sent a very strong candidate out there on my recommendation to one of their detectives. He couldn't pass the eye exam because of a very minor myopic condition and had to come home. It's a very professional organization with a lot of upside but as stated, if you can't meet their standards...try elsewhere. IMHO

I'll pass along to all the info. I just passed on in a PM to another. If you are qualified and looking for a job outside New England you may want to look southward. I know Savannah-Chatham Metro Police is looking. Check out their website. If you want to stay in NE come up north. Growing towns up in Vt, Maine and NH (especially NH) are constantly looking for officers. Oh...and yes many departments demand well-qualified applicants and there is nothing wrong with that.
