To just add from my personal experience with trying to get into the law enforcement field...because unr3al knocked the response out of the park. I grew up in Massachusetts where you must take the civil service exam in order to be considered for Mass State Police and almost all local departments there are some towns who do not use the civil service exam. Not sure if there is a similar test in Ohio. A little background on myself I have my Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice, graduated with honors. I took that civil service exam and scored 98 percent. Ill repeat that I got a 98 on the test. All that got me was number 26 on the list for just my own hometown. For the Mass State Police I was number 6000 something. But that test does not factor in highest education. However you do receive a "bonus" for Veteran status and I was told but I am not 100 percent sure, that you also receive a bonus added to your score for being a woman and/or a minority. So being a white male with non-veteran status, I am basically screwed. I have family and friends that are in local and state police in Mass, their pull did not really help. So I applied to every law enforcement job I could find. Finally found my current job. Took me almost two years out of college to get a job in the law enforcement field. I am now a civilian security consultant (federal contractor) for DHS. It is not traditional law enforcement (no gun or badge) But it is a nice gig, pretty good pay, pretty easy but boring. But I am not getting shot at. I am currently hitting the gym super hard to take the physical fitness test for Vermont State Police. I also continually apply for positions at the FBI, DEA, ATF and Secret Service. Waiting to hear back a on criminal investigator agent position at the Secret Service (which would be an amazing opportunity) My advice is to do school and stay in the best shape you can possibly be. Apply for every job you can find. USAJOBS has federal jobs you can search and apply to....but most will require a bachelor's. You will possibly have to relocate to a different state to find a job. (I moved to Vermont for my current job) The law enforcement field has grown super competitive and non-veteran status and no degree after high school might make it extremely difficult to land a job. But if it is your passion and what you want to do with your life then pursue it with all you got. If you do get hired most department where I have applied have higher starting salaries for degrees, also a good motivator to get cracking on at least your Associates. Good luck

Oops...Ya that would probably help haha. For the CVPI its Bxbugs123's 09 CVPI Wheel, and then the Ford Police Interceptor Hubcaps by Vertex3D for the Explorer and Taurus. Thanks for pointing that out googleplex.

Hey all, I was hoping someone could help me out. I basically quit working on a project of mine because I could not get the hubcaps to work right in-game. So frustrating not sure what I did/am doing wrong. Anyways my question is could someone help me out and possible PM me the cars with the hubcaps already on the cars for me? I would really appreciate it...and it would end my frustrating attempts. Thanks and when the project is complete and released I will of course credit whoever can help me out.

Hey all, This is my first model. I wanted to make a realistic slicktop explorer and slicktop cvpi for Mass State Police. I grew up in Mass and have always loved their cruisers. After searching long and hard I just could not find realistic slicktops. So I thought why not try modeling and make them. I am still very new to modeling and still getting the hang of it but I figured I would show what I had done to see if there is any interest in them. I would like to thank all the modelers who release unlocked parts and those who have created great tutorials on modeling. I would have never been able to do it without those tutorials. It has been a lot fun making this explorer. Still tweaking it and make it as realistic as possible. The skin on the explorer is done by Mr. Quiggles. The skin is amazing, everyone should check them out. Mr. Quiggles msp textures. There is also a transparent skin with correct msp plates from Mr. Quiggles. **I will not upload with skins until I have permission from Mr. Quiggles** I am aware that Mass State Police does not use steel rims. If anyone can help with hubcaps that would be awesome. I am also working on a msp slicktop cvpi, however the cvpi hubcaps are not working correctly when I go in-game, still trying to figure that one out. I will upload pics of that if I can ever figure out the hubcap issue. Constructive criticism is appreciated. Thanks guys. The best pictures I could find of the real ones

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had or knows where to find a realistic Massachusetts State Police slicktop CVPI and slicktop Explorer. I cannot seem to find them. I found J.J. Designs' marked explorer as well as Cervil's marked CVPI and CJ24's slicktop charger. They all look great. But I would love to find a realistic slicktop version for the cvpi and explorer. Ill link some pictures. MSP slicktop explorer http://www.policecarwebsite.net/fc/cof/mass482.jpg MSP slicktop cvpi https://www.flickr.com/photos/27006494@N08/4488252772 Thanks for your help.
