Life is a journey filled with ups and downs and things you just don't see coming at all. This blog will chronicle the events in my life as I experience them starting from high school on through college and law enforcement. Along the way I might even post a bit of useful information as well.

Step One

So after deciding that you want to become a police officer, where do you start?

Well, you need to start out with testing at the Montana Law Enforcement Testing Consortium (MTLETC).

Register for that at one of the three testing site options. That will put you into an eligibility pool for the police departments to look at and then determine how hire-able you are.


After I registered for the Consortium I went to Barnes and Noble and bought a study guide. None of the books in the store were specified for Montana so I bought what I thought to be the best one. I ended up with John Douglas's Guide to the Police Officer Exams. I chose Douglas's book because I knew that he was an FBI agent and famous too. I've read his books on criminal profiling and in fact, I'm reading one of his books now it's called The Cases that Haunt Us. Anyways, here is a link to the study guide.
