    They've got a periscope Q&A tomorrow at noon central. I'll be watching.

      Got cleared for background and rode with them. Seems like a good agency.

          Congrats! I've got the written test with them tomorrow. Sounds like your offer came pretty fast? Was it soon after the interview stage?

            I interviewed I think at the end of October. My background wrapped up before the new year. And I got the call earlier this week. Are you a lateral?

              Negative, regular candidate. Just applied a couple weeks ago, (written) testing tomorrow. If you are out of state I'm guessing they did your oral interview the same day? Mine will be scheduled for a future date.

                Tested, did really well, on to the interview stage next week. It was nice having the test graded immediately and being able to move on quickly.

                  Yeah. Even the polygrapher told me right afterward that I passed unlike my current agency that made me wait a while.

                    How soon after your interview did you find out you passed?

                        Just got the call. No knowledge on dates yet for the lateral class. It'll be late March or early April they said.

                          Oh nice. I made it to the background phase. Don't have the physical agility test until April 1st. If I pass those then I'm looking at an August academy.

                          I know they told me a regular academy started the beginning of February, I wonder if the lateral academy you would attend just has you join the current academy part way through? I'm just speculating on that.

                            Good luck.

                            They've told me the lateral academy is basically in service style. I show up for class each day and go home each night. I have to learn SPD policies, how they work there in Springfield, Missouri statutes, and Missouri supreme court case law. They don't work on teaching you to be a cop. They know I've been a trooper for over 3 years, so they're confident enough in that. It will probably be a bigger transition for me in some ways than for other guys. As a trooper, you can give me a double fatality with a semi on a major US highway, and I'll be fine. Give me a domestic, and I'll have to think a second, as I haven't worked that many at all.
