I’m applying to a police department , they ask you if you’ve applied to any other law enforcement agencies. Do they check with that department? And what if I leave that blank even if I was passed?
Just be honest from the beginning, assume they’ll find out regardless.. just because a different PD passed on you last time doesn’t mean this one will... unless you lied, then you’re SOL
If you’re considering lying to try and boost your odds of getting hired, do us all a favor and find another field, we don’t need you here.
