If you want a job that nearly doubles in salary in 5 years and tops at $109,000 with multiple sick/vacation time, full pension and health benefits and plenty of OT available, you really need to take the SCPD exam.

Answer:
1) If good looking, obtain her phone number and address - ask her out on a date. Part II - arrest assailant, jab nightstick into assailant's stomach region to make good impression on date.
2) Throw on the lights and siren, make a turn across 3 lanes of traffic and proceed to your destination. Part II - If on duty, charge overtime for extra effort involved in manuevering county property in a safe and efficient manner.
"More than 30,700 applicants have signed up to take the the new Suffolk County police civil service test June 11th, even though applicants will have only a 1-in-150 chance of being hired."
Aren't those odds about the same as hitting Powerball?
The 1 in 150 is not all that accurate, IMO. Military vets get a 10 point upgrade (Rightly, IMO) and minorities get a point advantage as well (Fact).
This, coupled with the fact that the overwhelming majority of SCPD hires come from the NYPD suggests your chances are much less than 1 in 150.
Once the lawsuits start, the test results will be null and void anyway.
maybe its just me, but I have a serious problem with any public position that recieves 30,000 applicants since this is paid for by the people.
either
A) the qualifications for the job are set too low and a lot of unqualified people are "applying"
B) the salary and benefits are too high for the required skill set.
or both.
think about your job for a moment.... are there 30,000 people in this area that are fighting over it?
The people working for me probably would want my job. I tell anyone else about my job and they look at me like I have three heads and ask me why I'm still working here.

Applicants != positions.
A million people can apply but if they only take a certain #, it just widens the pool for more qualified individuals.
