has anyone heard anything since their oral board? hopefully we'll hear something soon after the new year

[gouldat]

Nope......haven't heard anything. Will let you know if I do.

Last I heard, and it changes often, if you passed the Oral Board you should be receiving a phone call from the Cheif sometime after the first of the year. I'm sure it won't be immediately after the new year, they prolly have budget issues to work out or something. How is the process going for everyone?

sgtsavage, are you going through this process also? I thought we were suppose to find out through the mail after our oral boards, but a call is fine too, just anxious to hear to see if I passed or not. Hopefully we will hear at the beginning of the year, good luck!

[sgtsavage]

I'm in the process and still waiting news. I was told at the oral board they would send out letters before the end of the year, however, when I spoke with civil service to change my address, I was told I would receive a call sometime after the first of the year, not a letter. Its hard to be left hanging, but hey, thats how it goes in this business.

If I find anyhting out on the "Offical level" I'll let you all know. The last word we got was that MAYBE Mid- March.

Thanks acegta2002. Any info is greatly appreciated. How do you like working for the PD?

Thank you for your replies. Hopefully it won't be too long after the new year before we hear, getting pretty anxious here.

[gouldat]

Acegta-was the mid-March when they're going to let us know, or when the academy is going to start? Thanks.

[acegta2002]

Sorry folks just catching up.
I love working here at the PD. I try to remember that no matter how bad it seems to be, EVERY PLACE has their own problems.

Mid March was supposed to start the Academy. I haven't been back to work yet to actually try and find out the "final" verdict.

[sgtsavage]

acegta2002, thanks for all your help. any rumors floating around on how many they plan to hire? i was told 30, but i'm not sure if that has changed as well. hopefully all of us will be working together in the near future.

[acegta2002]

30 is the number I heard most thrown around, but as anything else that is subject to change. If I find out anything I'll let all of you know.

[gouldat]

Acegta-you haven't heard anything on your end yet, have you? Thanks.

[acegta2002]

Nope,

The Lodge still is hearing March, but nothing offical.

hopefully one of us will hear something soon

i know it's not likely, but has anyone heard anything at all lately?

[gouldat]

No, unfortunately not.

i'd just like to hear about the oral boards, whether i passed or not

[acegta2002]

I talked to someone in the police personel side of things. He said the City was going for May or June. Unfortunately I didn't read this until after I talked to him, I'll check on getting an answer as far as the oral boards for ya.
Sorry.

thank you, i appreciate all your help. Like I said, I'm just more curious as to finding out whether I passed and am going on or not, not too concerned with the academy starting right away may or june might let me squeeze another quarter of school in before, so that would work out nice actually. Again, thanks for your help

[gouldat]

Thanks, acegta.

got the call today, made the cut and moving on to psych and physical, should hear from civil service next week about setting those up, so exciting! hopefully everyone else hears soon, good luck!
edit- just got another call this evening setting up my psych eval for monday, hope someone else hears something soon!

[sgtsavage]

hey, i got a call too! pretty exciting after not hearing anything for so long and all of a sudden we have psychs in a week. anyone else hear anything? good luck!

[acegta2002]

Good luck folks on the rest. Hurry up and wait :-(. Glad you heard something finally, before I was able to check. Let me know how it goes.

sgtsavage, what made you look here coming from ny? family or anything in particular?
also, minus this last waiting on the oral boards the process has been really smooth and fast. being my first one, i expected it to drag out, and it's been great, and even today they call in the morning telling me sometime next week i'll hear from civil service about the psych and physical, then hear tonigth and it's already set up, it's great. anything we need to know about the psych in particular? thanks and good luck to everyone
