LASD will probably process you faster,you can make a very good salary- my compton buddy is a FTO making $8,000/mo,and a SGt I know cleared $160K last yr with very little OT- but for promotions and opportunities,I'd say LAPD. you deal with a diverse community and its not all hell and high water,compared to being tossed to the proverbial wolves ...
With LASD, I didn't see any info about retirement on their website but found a blurb on the ALADS website which referenced trying to petition the Board of Supervisors to grant LASD 3@50 retirement. How is LASD's retirement now, what are the chances of LASD getting 3@50? Also, how are the benefits with each agency?
LAPD vs LASD Reserves? 07-17-2017, 10:03 PM Hey Guys, I'm currently in the process with LAPD for the Reserve Officer Program, but I am also considering taking a look at LASD Reserves.

FOR LASD: Ride-A-Long - Go to the nearest LASD Station and ask for Ride-A-Long paperwork. You pick three dates and they mail you something real soon regarding what day and time you're going on a ride-a-long. Jail Tour - When you get assigned a BI, they give you paperwork that has all the jail facilities numbers and days they do tours.
Like FJDave said, read through the thread and the other LASD DST Status one in the Cali forum. But as for turning in your background packet, you'll head down to Monterey Park at your assigned time, fill out a crime/conduct history type questionnaire, then you will turn-in your background packet.
Hi All I was wondering if any of the other members here who applied for the DST, have their status on the county website as "Questionnaire in progress"?
