I've compiled a list of all the available organizations that I'm going to apply to first.
Under the guild search, I typed in the word "Police." (Incidentally, I tried a search for "swat" and "S.W.A.T." and got nothing.)
Here's what I got:
Gaia Towns Police [Under Construction]
-Editing-
Gaian Police Department (CLOSED)
Serve. Protect. Defend. One must ask themselves what these words mean. Do they embody the principles they hold within their hearts? Are they the star by which they find their path? If these three simple words burn within your heart, then I have two words for you my friend.

What I think:
GTP: Still under construction, so I really can't make an educated decision on the organization. Plenty of sub-forums. Lots of typos. Last entry around 19June06. Not too professional. Moving on. sweatdrop
GPD: I was sorry to see that this department had shut down. sad The greeting page was outstanding; very well-versed and informative. While I was unable to access any of the forums, the overall sense I got from the organization was one of professionalism and pride. If this force was still active, I would certainly apply. 3nodding
GSPD: Great front page, zero typos and a low tolerance for illiterates? Sign me up! 3nodding So far, this guild leads the pack of prospective departments. Again, I was unable to access any of the forums within the unit. However, my perusal of the profiles of some of the listed members were...um...hit and miss. sweatdrop No matter. These folks will receive a request from me.
GTPD: Not much of a front page. It appears very poorly typed and doesn't have any capital letters. sweatdrop If that wasn't the kicker, the last post on the forums is on 1March06 by a guy asking for a turnover of guild ownership. blaugh
Too "Mickey Mouse" for me.
TGGP: redface .....um.....Sorry guys. sweatdrop
While I do respect the opinions of gays and believe in their equal representation under the law (in all aspects of society), this guild appears to be more of a political action group that is trying to spread information and protect the interests of its members. Unfortunately, I'm looking for something that's more law enforcement oriented. 3nodding
Now what?
Ok, the next step is to apply.
I'll keep you guys posted to let you know what happened. whee
Here goes nothing. sweatdrop

Today, I posted my request to join the GSPD.
Here's what I entered:
Esteemed members of the Selection Committee:
I hereby present myself as a candidate for the Gaia State Police Department.
I have recently moved to Gaia from Olympus where I served as an OPD officer for nearly 13 years. Now that I have relocated, I look forward to finally donning the uniform again and taking my place among the ranks of "Gaia's Finest."
In hopes of increasing my chances for acceptance, I would like to direct committee members to my profile, where a brief background and resume is posted in my journal. Also included are excerpts from my more recent adventures in Gaia, which I chronicle for my own purposes.
In conclusion, I believe that I have a great amount of knowledge and experience that I can bring to the Department. Whether in Patrol, Investigations or Special Enforcement, I feel that I can contribute to this organization and make the Department and Gaia a better place.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to your decision.
Sincerely,
Briareos Hecatonchires
I hope it all works out.
*crosses fingers*
