In Australia. Inb4 "ACAB"

I reckon I'm going to get fucked over by the psychological exam. I heard they ask you questions in front of a lie detector over in America. I don't think they do that in Australia.

I've never heard of that here. Professionally, they're considered pretty defunct now in a legal sense, and mostly just exist for TV shows or whatever.

Cops still use them to fuck with people they're questioning. For some reason these dumbasses agree to take a test that's not even admissible in court, then the cop giving it says how bad they failed and they might as well confess.

In the U.S they take an easy enough psych exam. No lie detectors. Well atleast for cops.

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, I was seriously considering becoming a cop because of the pay. Here in Cali, the Highway Patrol start at $106,000 annually and some of the senior officers break $300,000 with overtime (insane amounts of hours though, like 70+ hours per week). I decided against that though, after all of the protests and acab hate.

Is the psych exam "if a black person has their back to you, how many rounds would you unload into them?"

Police in Australia are notoriously known for receiving shit pay. I believe it's roughly 80k out of the academy. I'd make more being a department manager at coles.

Depending on the rank it's $90 per hour for a paid dutie rate for a regular constable.
I think their regular hourly rate is close to over $45 per hour.

I've considered being a cop before. I'm actually in better shape at 31 then I have been since I stopped playing hockey, so the physical aspect is doable and watching videos of traffic stops has made me realize half the job is telling idiots that they're idiots, which I do regularly for free.

Just wish police reputation wasn't so garbage because of bad eggs.

I considered it too but right now I'm too far deep into a job I'm doing right now with amazing benefits and seniority. I just got a rate increase to $43 and have unlimited overtime to play with.
I just don't want to start from scratch at 35 years old.

They get that whole rate? I would have thought their department/force/whoever signs their paycheck got like half of it and the cop himself got half.

Yes the whole rate.
I believe new constables have to do 1 year before they are eligible for paid duty.
AFAIK, the paid duty is based on seniority. So events like sports games are prioritized by those with close to 10 years tenure.
Hospital detail is usually the more accessible to newer officers.

Good luck TC. Not I job Id ever want to do. Hopefully youll be one of the good ones. Make sure to say crikey a lot during your exam:)

Also, surprised how much some cops make. In my area its not nearly that high. Though, I think they have a pretty good pension.

For some reason they're still allowed to be a requirement for some government and security jobs.
