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

Mention the areas you know well. Companies prefer officers who can find addresses fast without a GPS.
Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
