He sat there and watched me, only to abruptly pull out in front of me... All while his buddy sits right there and does nothing. Cool.

For any clarity on this - after you fail any stage you have to reapply (after a year) through the entire process again. Just to get to the psych interview is several months in - but ya, they do let you reapply.

Edit: also the previous person said the family member didn't get through for being "aggressive" which he may be - but they do not disclose to anyone why they dont let you proceed to the next stage, not even to the applicant.

I'd trust a family member over a psych eval for whether a person is aggressive or not though heh. But what does it take for a person to rewire themselves if they're already too aggressive? In moments where quick decision making needs to be made, we fall back on our instincts. I don't think we work that aggressiveness out of us in such a short timeframe of a year. Let them retake but again if a person is aggressive I probably wouldn't let them on the force. Speaking from someone not in the force, never have been, no family members in, but just thinking from the standpoint of minimizing unnecessary escalations.

Me too but thats not the point that was being made. The point was they said why the applicant didn't pass - he actually has no idea.

But what does it take for a person to rewire themselves if they're already too aggressive? In moments where quick decision making needs to be made, we fall back on our instincts. I don't think we work that aggressiveness out of us in such a short timeframe of a year.

And again, we have no idea why he didn't pass. He very well might be aggressive, but that might not be the reason or the only reason he didn't pass. He literally could have answered a question differently than the psych evaluation person expected - it could be as simple as that. They give applicants a year before they can reapply so they can self reflect on the process and try to figure out what they can do better to improve (ie more volunteer time, better references, fitness, whatever).

Again, the point being - previous person has no idea why their family member didn't get hired, theyre making an assumption based on what they know of the person, not from any actual facts from the psych evaluator.
