Any CHP applicants waiting for backgrounds in here?

[ares55]

Any CHP hopefuls in the waiting process here? I tested in exam code 60194 (May) and just got ‏a letter from my B.I. stating my groups backgrounds wont be looked at until early 2010. I am guessing they are extremely backed up right now. Anyone else in or around my time frame group? Did you get this same message? Anyone slacking on getting the documents together or running?

2 ride alongs!

Agent A-hop what division are you applying through? Im going through Border Division. You got two ride alongs already? Dang, they told us no ride alongs until we are in backgrounds. Did you use vet points for your QAP score or did you really wow thier socks off?

im testing out of the southern division...everything went really fast for me through my division..yeah I had two intense hands on ride-alongs, they were pretty sick and I def wasnt expecting the nights that I had!! I would suggest calling and seeing if you can get one...I scored a 95% on my QAP but I had my ride alongs before I got my results...

I scheduled a ride along with the Oceanside office for next weekend. Too bad you cant do a ride along on graveyards, I want to see the really good stuff.

Turned in my PHS in March. Reference letters went out in August. Still waiting to be contacted by BI. I know the northern division is back up. It may be another year before getting done with everything and then invite letter. Patiently waiting..........................
