There is NO city in America where police officers are loved and adored. It exists only in small towns where there is almost no crime rate. The police officers who are violent and or toxic beacuse they deal with bad people who are evil and or mentally sick. Working 8 hours a day 5 days a week with criminals affects the mental health of the police officers for worse.
Ive applied and took all the tests twice. Their are people applying they just DONT want to hire, they failed me on the last test and couldnt give me an exact reason. The hiring process in this city is a joke.
Hmm maybe it has to do with the current DA…..and the general disregard and disrespect towards law enforcement in philly. I remember a time when you could walk almost anywhere in philly and even take the subway. Not now a days
The hiring process for police officer in Philadelphia is THE ONLY JOB CLASSIFICATION, out of all the various occupations the city has where there is a need to give a reading comprehension test. That tells you something about the kind of applicants they are attracting.
Danielle Outlaw needs to review her agency's hiring policies. They state you must be able to read at a ninth grade level to be a city employee. However they administer a college level reading comprehension test. There were words that looked made up. Words I have never seen before that test. I've taken reading tests before and always passed. This was the first time I failed. There were 25 candidates who tested that day. Only 12 passed. Then to make matters worse Officer Williams, a recruiter, is an arrogant, condescending asshole. When I reapplied he rubbed my nose in failing and the non residency waiver had expired so I was not eligible to retest. Gee Commissioner Outlaw, are you sure you should be bitching about your vacancies.
@CookieD456 like I said don’t worry about it. Are you applying to be one? Don’t discourage others to apply because of your own fear. People want to make a change, allow them.
Great question, that’ll be me. I don’t wish to put my life in grave dangers everyday of my life but I’ve generally shown interest in becoming Philly PD and it’s more so because I wish to clean up the community in the best way I can, what’s a better way than serving in the community you’ll live in? In my opinion, this could be worth it
@CookieD456 it’s called you putting down others for having the balls to do what you’re too scared to do. Typing in RUclips comments tearing down others for trying isn’t even close in equivalency as actual being a police officer on the streets of Philadelphia, knowing you may have family and lovedones who live in the city, better question is why WOULDNT you want to help change and protect the community? It’s interesting how the community complains about how the justice system is corrupt, yet no one is actually going to try and take action to change it. You’d rather hold us back with discouraging words than to actually put in effort to clean up the streets
He shouldn’t get fired for that. It’s amazing that it even became as big a deal as it did. People can do and say whatever they want to cops but a cop is a smart ass back and it’s a huge deal.
I will never apply with them. Even though I am perfect for the job. Unless we can bring frank risso back then I will never ever do it. Frank made this city amazing. He didn’t take no mess at all. We don’t have police officers or public leaders like him.
A good number of them get weeded out on their first stop in the selection process when they fail the reading comprehension test. This is not levity. It's true.
Over the last three Decades they Philadelphia Police Department has Worked real hard to keep black and brown people put of the police department. I applied for the police department three years after graduating college. I passed all the pre Training test, but I was turned down for getting arrested at age 16. I was falsely accused of hitting another teen with a bat and stealing money from him at a concert. I never touched the teen and was amongst the hundreds of concert goers who were walking by the area where this teen got jumped by a pack of other kids. I saw the police coming, and moved out of the way of the perpetrators who ran away. One of the officers just grabs me!!! I was found not guilty of charges. one lying police officer said he saw me hit the kid with the bat and rifle through his pockets and take money. The officer said he arrested me after a brief chase(I never ran anywhere. My lawyer asked the officer if the bat or any money was found on me or recovered on the path I supposedly ran. He said "no"). I got to appeal the decision of the police department turning me down, and sat in front of an three person Appeal Board made up on three Caucasians (two male , one female). I told them I never beat up or robbed anyone, and told them what happened. Between getting found not guilty at age 16, I graduated near the top of my high school class, got a scholarship, graduated college, and had 3 solid & consistent years of work experience. Not one arrest. Yet the PPD turned me down based on getting arrested at age 16 on something I didn't do & found not guilty. Then over the years I've listened to other black/brown applicants getting turned away for minor things. Doesn't matter of you have a felony free record or not. To be black and get into the PPD training class, your history must be spotless
I'm really sorry this happened to you- the city needs people like you, but I bet they also turned down white applicant with the same earlier arrest record. the city actually has been trying to hire more blacks and even recently changed the requirement that you don't have to live in the city.
yo, i will drive back there and work the nicetown streets if i got a specific riot team of 40 or 50 per shift backing me with MRAPs and all that shit lets do this
Maybe if y’all give more opps for people with non violence crimes and walk off probation and making Strives to be a law abiding citizen a chance to be a police officer
WHAT A JOKE ,,,, we were lost and tourists and walking , we left rocky headed back to liberty bell ,,, lost and finally found 4 cops on a the corner ,,,we asked them where the LIBERTY BELL was and NOT ONE KNEW !!!!!!!WTF,,, A MAJOR ATTRACTION ,,,,,,,we were only approx. 5 blocke away ,,, YES ONE was even going to send us the WRONG WAY !!!!!!! WTF > who is training them !!!!!!
The polygraph test needs to go they don't even use them in court in Philadelphia because it's unreliable so why are they still using it there's tons of people who made it to that point and couldn't pass it due to nervousness and they are failing because of that they asked my sister if it was Tuesday and it was and told her it said she was lying what does that tell you
It's definitely not the poorest city. I don't know what ppl get out of hiking up fabricated info. I see you talking a lot of sh¡t on any Philly news stories. Either you live here, or you don't. If you don't, why worry about what's going on in Philly 24/7? You just complain, complain, complain with more bickering and bickering every time I see a comment of yours. Go back to Utah, or NYC instead of b¡tching about what's going on in Philly. That seems like the smart move don't it?

why when things get tougher law enforcement is the only organization that will lower the bar? Inviting more uneducated, uncontrollable, violent people to this profession. So many incidents seen on social media again and again of brutality, racism, and criminality within so many departments who in their right mind would want to attach the rest of their lives to such an organization? Those with all the power have everything they need to earn either hate or trust. It's in their hands. Until then Leo's nationwide will continue fo defund themselves. Just my opinion.
In the black community ppl just need to be heard.....why do u think they robbing slinging drugs? U think they like jail? I would certainly hope not.......They need money......if money is the problem share resources help then get to it legally. I try to talk to the young men who are willing to listen.... I love sharing and resources that I may have with them because in the long run it will benefit everyone
Change the requirements to live in the city. Nobody is moving to Philadelphia.
They did
Why would you even wanna work there ??
What cop in their right mind would want to work somewhere where they are hated? I say all the cops leave and let nature take control.
There is NO city in America where police officers are loved and adored. It exists only in small towns where there is almost no crime rate.
The police officers who are violent and or toxic beacuse they deal with bad people who are evil and or mentally sick.
Working 8 hours a day 5 days a week with criminals affects the mental health of the police officers for worse.
Yep. Exactly! Woke jokes getting what they asked for!
Maybe cops are the human nature anti-destruction natural response team.
Go to the suburbs if you want to be a cop. You won’t be arrested and or fired for doing your job.
Ive applied and took all the tests twice. Their are people applying they just DONT want to hire, they failed me on the last test and couldnt give me an exact reason. The hiring process in this city is a joke.
Eww why would ANYONE wanna be a cop on Philly??
Hmm maybe it has to do with the current DA…..and the general disregard and disrespect towards law enforcement in philly. I remember a time when you could walk almost anywhere in philly and even take the subway. Not now a days
Past criminal history is no longer a barrier. Join the PPD today!

Get sued or jailed for doing your job. Great career choose . 🤔🤔 Only going to get worst for cops.
why would anyone take a job where your life is in danger every single day?
That’s dumb to say when everyone’s life is in danger everyday. Just because you can’t do it, don’t discourage others from doing it.

Stop firing cops and trying to put them in jail for doing their jobs. Start there.
Officer Hoove. Look him up. Hasn't been fired.
Hoover
He shouldn’t get fired for that. It’s amazing that it even became as big a deal as it did. People can do and say whatever they want to cops but a cop is a smart ass back and it’s a huge deal.
Honestly, who in their right mind would want to be a philly cop???
You wouldn't pay me enough to work a job dodging bullets out in North Philly!
What's the starting pay like? What is the percentage scale of an annual raise? What kinda work would entry-level cops be doing?
Sounds like you're interested!

You’ll get assigned a patrol district and report to your patrol sergeant…they talk to you about your schedule and days off…
Can't find anyone to pass back ground check.

Man listen... you should just sign up for the military. The city is a war zone. At least you get your salary and hazard pay 🤷🏿♂️
Who would want that job place is a mess

The PPD has lacked officers for a long time. Predates the pandemic.

We need more great police officer that can do the job in a positive manner
Why don’t you sign up ?! And how are people supposed to be positive when they are treated like garbage !!
You probably live outside the city. Big mouth!

We won't need that many police of officers literally take time to educate our young people.
Also pay a bit more. Officers deserve to be paid just as much as a doctor. Not only do they save lives they also put their life on the line every day
