Good Luck!!!! If you have not started getting into shape, better start lol
SBPD is the trenches as far as violent crime goes in California. They send their peeps to the same Academy as SBSO. Good luck getting in 🙂 I will say that it does seem like SBPD’s chief is doing a lot of things right. Almost every major critical inc gets a full statement across social media immediately.
Seems to help quell the internet outrage machine. SBSO on the other hand has a severe image problem as a lot of times their investigations require weeks of scrutiny before Dicus can release anything. The online vitriol spins out of control.
Oakland is in hiring freeze due to budget issue and San Bern is a ghetto
Advice?
Pull your app from Oakland PD.
Apply anywhere else in Contra Costa/Alameda counties. Shit, Alameda PD had a $75,000 singing bonus last I checked.
Definitely wouldn’t work Oakland. There’s a dozen better agencies in the Bay Area if you want to work there. SB definitely will get you involved with some goon shit if that’s what you’re after- if not, you may want to consider other agencies.
