During my time with the Scottsdale Police Department, I had to pass a multitude of very difficult and demanding tests. These include passing a comprehensive background Interview, an oral board interview, a polygraph, a physical fitness test, and psychological exam and a physical exam. As grateful as I am for the opportunity they gave me, I quickly realized being a Police Officer was not the career I wanted to pursue due to the exposure to constant trauma.
