Well, I will also reinstate I'm not a police officer as of yet, and won't be for several several months. At the same time, I also encourage those who pursue illegal activities to keep it to themselves, because... well.. it's not bright to talk about your evil deeds.

Well, thank you, I would appreciate that.

Thanks for the help Irishguy, I'm taking the written test around the weekend of the 24th or so.

Thanks for the help, and from what I gather FCPD doesn't seem to have a bad rep like a lot of departments do. Of course all have good and bad points, but it's good to see here, where everyone has a say so, most people don't just outright hate them, which is an improvement from what I've seen before. Unfortunately a room isn't good, for I have a family (wife and young son). I've found some apar

LoL. Thanks for all y'alls help. And I'll remember. One thing I'd like to try to stick to is being honest to the people. I've been biased in a lot of things, but I've learned a lot young, and I try to keep an open mind to everyone and why they do it. There's a group on some other website entitled "Fuck the Troops," at one point in time, and just yelled at them and told them they were idiots

Thank you all for your help, and I always appreciate Meeper's humor on things. I plan on coming up there end of March, so I'll definately pick up the local papers and do some researching on my own. Again, thanks again for the help. It's all appreciated.

Thanks for the help. Is Centreville relatively affordable for FC?
Forum: Fairfax County General

Umm... what?
Forum: Fairfax County General

Thanks for the help, and I apologize for not being clear. I understand the cost of living is very high, but from other departments I've looked at back home (Roanoke) and what I make now, it's a huge jump up. Not saying I can afford super great things, but since I've heard I'll start at 46-50k a year, and my wife is supposed to be getting a 15/hr job (with pay increasing quickly after background

I haven't been told "I'm in," but from my understanding they're really hurting for personnel, and my military experience already puts me out ahead. Unfortunately, even though I'm a Marine, I still suck at running, haha; but I'm told that I still shouldn't have any trouble with things. Being from Roanoke though, and living down here in Jville, NC; cost of living is no where near up there, but at

Where would be a decent place to live around FC or the surrounding counties. As I've said before I plan on working for the FCPD and am coming from Jacksonville, NC from being an active-duty Marine in the summer. I've been recommended to PWC, and found some decent places in Manassas; but I'm just curious to see if anyone had any suggestions on places to live that aren't too far away from FC or e
Forum: Fairfax County General

About PWC, how is Manassas as a place to reside? It seems to be a lot cheaper than Fairfax County. I plan on moving up there (I'm currently an active duty Marine in NC), and becoming a police officer. And suggestions on places to live within relative distance to FC? Thanks.

Not necessarily, if there's negative I'd love to hear those as well, I just don't want the ignorant ones. Basically from the folks that only have "f the pigs" for no reason. If they do bad things and it's for real, I wanna hear it too.
Forum: Fairfax County General

I am currently an active duty Marine, originally grew up in Roanoke; but plan to move up to Fairfax County or somewhere close by. I plan on becoming a FC Police Officer, and I've noticed for the most part most people seem to support the police up here. I'd just like to know how everyone feels about them, and any other suggestions about moving up there. And if we could limit the "I hate cops,"
