I posted this on our LAPD forums but I wanted to open it up to other departments.

I took my oral psych for LAPD on Wednesday. Yesterday the shrink that interviewed me called me and said she wanted me to come back on Tuesday to meet with another shrink.

I've seen others who are at the same place I am in the process and started in May or June. I've only had to take the poly twice and it took them 3 months to review the first one and tell me I had to retake it. Most recently was the BG review which took what, 3-4 months I think?

Stick in there SpecialBlend. I had classmates who took 1.5 years to 2 years to complete the process who were great. Then there were others who only took 3 months for the whole process and were...
