They tear down the armory and rebuild or is it a whole separate place?The new place is so much better than the old. Took the PAT in both places since I switched departments. But I remember that old dungeon and the slip & fall during the preview because of all of the dust.

Thanks!All You Need to Know About Police Background Check and Disqualifiers
How to pass the police background check, and find out what will disqualify you from becoming a police officer.

No definitely. Worry about getting a card first, passing your PFT if you get that far and your psych test. Your background only begins between the psych and medical.
All great info, appreciate it
My mistake, evidently that component has been eliminated. It was in place for the previous 20 years (at least).
I did some digging and the 86th RTT initial candidate letters mentioned "1.5 mile run, job related obstacles courses and push ups and sit ups". It does mention that the push-ups and sit-ups are not evaluated, but just an assessment tool to gauge fitness.
I don't believe that financial obligations or having a bad credit score is a disqualifying factor. BUT, combined with other decisions that led to said situation could be a factor. Many cops have filed for bankruptcy but still take actions to fix their situation. As long as there isn't any history of you avoiding debt or excessive debt collection, I think you'll be fine. Your tax filings also have to match your current credit situation/financials.
Wasn’t in place when I went through the process.
Trust me.. I’m right. I don’t come on here to bullshit people. It’s been that way for as long as I can remember at the academy and that’s what I had to do when I went through the process for MSP. Simple 1.5 mile run around the far parking lot and push up/ sit ups that are not evaluated. That’s it.. that’s really all you need to worry about. Aside from making sure that don’t look around too much.
Thanks for the insight. Long ways to go for that. While I'm looking forward to the list, I'm not sure if they can afford me anymore haha. Still worth exploring. We will see...unfortunately at this point in my life it is going to come down to the numbers $$$ and if the pay cut is reasonable. State doesn't have their latest contract out so it is tough to figure it out in advance
Well if you’ve got Quinn already then you probably won’t like what you see. Also the pension for MSP is nowhere near as good as it once was. MSP troopers who got in before 2012 are the ones who are making ridiculous pensions. In 2012 the language was altered a lot by the MSERS (state retirement system). Prior to 2012 state employees would be looking at taking about 67%-80% roughly of their highest 36 months of average regular salary. Now it’s the highest 60 consecutive months and only about 50-60%. That may not seem like much, but it makes a huge difference..
