How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

Put your firearm competency and armed response course at the top. Without both, the CV is not read further.
Mention the areas you know well. Companies prefer officers who can find addresses fast without a GPS.
