I could quit my job today and do what Big Will and his boy chose to do for a living in about 6 months.
It would take him minimum 6 years and multiple board exams to do what I do.
He made this bed. Time to lie in it.
Again you misrepresent yourself in whatever you do.
But I am an open book with my life and experiences.
Here are just some REQUIREMENTS to be a NJSP trooper.
1. Score high enough in a SAT -type test that is administered to over 30,000 applicants. You should do OK.
2. BA or such degree, nobody over 35. I assume you have a Bach degree or higher ?
3. Pass background investigation. No derogatory info on you or your family, from work, teachers, neighbors ?
4. Pass complete Medical examination. Color blind, corrected to 20/20, hearing, depth perception.
5. Pass 6 person interview. They yell at you and say mean things to gauge you ability to stay calm. (This is where you may have an issue.)
6. Pass State Police S & C tests. Push ups, sit ups pull ups, 1 1/2 mile run for time.
7. Enter NJSP Academy. Volunteer resign, injury, Instructors dismissal. NO recourse !
8. Complete Academy. 154 Applicants entered my Class. 54 Survived to graduate !
a. 1 on 1 Boxing, flinch or refuse to fight = dismissal.
b. Firearms training, pistol, shotgun, rifle minimum scores or = dismissal.
c. Various police duties, like police judo, disarming person with a pistol or knife to harm you, handcuffing, baton techs. fail = dismissal.

Good luck. Since 1921 (Founding Date of NJSP to my Class graduation in the early 70's, less than 3,000 have graduated.) It's now under 8,500.
