Thanks for the help guys. Marv, I asked around and got some goot tips and I am one of the few on this list that has a degree. Even though I have only been there 8 years I have worked specialty assignments like street narcs, Intel (gang and gun investigations) and for the last two years I have been a homicide detective. I have had the chance to become well rounded. I think that there are some people on the list that are stellar and will do a better job than me but there are also quite a few that have problems. My department has alot of internal politics which usually translates to some questionable promotions. I am hoping that if the Chief is on the fence about me or is going to pass me over due to tenure, at least I can try my darndest during the interview to change his mind. And like Mike H. said at least I'll be more prepared for next time. I'll keep you guys posted on the results.
