I got a totally different answer when I called. Maybe they answer port specific.
I called TSU today because I was pulled from TSU to re-test and was seeing if I was back in. I am back in, it took less than a week! I got my original TSU date back. I asked the woman about hiring and she said after October 1st hiring will start back up for certain ports. I think she used the term high priority. She said the port I selected was a high priority (SF/OAK) and we should see hiring start back up. But she said only those ports deemed high priority will be hiring, but it’s going to start off slow. I remember when I applied to this job two and a half years ago there was a list of high priority, for California is was SF/OAK, LA/Long Beach and the border crossing near San Diego. Not sure about the rest of the country, some current CBPO might know.

Do you think Buffalo is a high priority port? ?

[QUOTE=drcapp;1991915]Do you think Buffalo is a high priority port? ?[/QUOT

it all depends on what the "G" considers "high priority". I do know this, Buffalo is a busy POE and also has a high turnover rate, meaning alot of people are retireing and/or leaving for local/other PD's. I know last year Buffalo was allowed 150 new hired which they indeed filled.(coming from my friend who is an CBPO in Buffalo) So i do expect there to be a bunch of hiring in the FY10but again it all comes down from headquarters. Buffalo can request all the people they want but nothing is gaurenteed to them. So if/when i get the call, im sure not going to take it for granted. Good luck with the process.
