Wow, I've never seen an agency hire someone so quickly. No background, no psych, no polygraph, just hired. Congrats.

There are lots of places to get duty gear. GT is good, you can also try LAPG, policehq, even Amazon has most stuff. Buy the best stuff you can afford, especially the holster. Get light weight nylon if you are allowed to. I like open top mag holders due to their speed, open cuff cases, and kydex for the holster.

Good luck in FTO/PTO.

My family knows the sheriff really well and that is what landed me the job. I did a 168 question psych, drug test, health physical today also. One question on the psych test that I had no idea what they were talking about went like this. It was a true false that said, I like to play drop the handkerchief. Is that some kind of game?

I find it interesting how some on here choose to take comments as an afront even those none was intended. Maybe they take themselves too seriously. I can't figure it out.

Post like yours here are why I don't come in here much anymore.

Any reason you're looking elsewhere? GTDist has served me well and I've never had any issues with them. For LE pricing you'll need credentials just about anywhere that offers discounts.

Credentials are not a problem, the problem is GT does not have the Sig I want, that is why I want to find another vender.

If you re-read some of the comments on this thread you might be in trouble

But they probably won't grade as hard as a grammar police force.

Lol just saw it. It's the abbreviation for arrest search and seizure. Guess I should of done this A/S/S. On my phone and it's more work to add symbols.

nightmare69 wrote:Kilgore college is trying to start up a associates degree(60hrs)in criminal justice geared towards cops who work full time. Most if it will be online but you will have to come in for arrest search and seizure and crime scene investigation. The ASS will be taught by the lead prosecuter for Gregg county and Texas ranger out of Palestine(Ronnie something) who teaches crime scene investigation to the Texas rangers will teach that part of the course. I would get 24hrs for going through the academy and would only have to get another 36hrs to get my degree. This is all if the college board approves this Monday evening, I hope they do.
