Wait or not

hello everyone, i need some real solid advice on what to do currently in backgrounds with LAPD, attending PAT for san bernardino county sheriffs may 7 and for ventura may 16th, the commute seems horrible should SB or ventura hire me so im asking if i shod wait to apply for LASD again or not, I’d value and appreciate everyones opinion(especially current or from LA deputie) so i got non selected on march 20th 2026 from LA sheriff’s. this was because of employment, traffic, decisio making judgement and credit. i will elaborate and what these consist of.

employment: fired from job in January 2024 for cheating my time card, i came to work late but manually inputted i was on time. Quit a job without giving a notice in September 2025.

credit: had a card in collections from 2018, paid in full in 2021, that collection has now came off my report 2 weeks ago, i have a 100% payment history and a 750 cred score.

traffic: my BI had me only list any traffic violations from the last 3 years. My last ticket was august 2023 and I have an at fault Traffic collision from may 2025

With credit being close to great, no more traffic violations and with job firing + quitting w no notice being aged more and not as fresh will i have a shot? Thanks all sorry for the paragraphs
