Yeah, I've been waiting for a while now. Actually, this is the second time I started the process. In September 2007 I applied for CBPO and was scheduled a VBT and medical for December 2007. I then decided that I wanted to stay as a local police officer and told the Minneapolis hiring center that I was not interested for this position.
Turns out that one of my co-workers who applied with me in September left for the acadamy in April 2008. If I had continued with the hiring process then I would probably be at the academy already, I know I was more qualified!!!
Just a piece of advice for those who are not sure if they want to be a CPBO officer or border patrol agent, or who are not sure if they want to leave their local law enforcement career. Continue with the hiring process even if at the time you are not sure about really going. You mind change your mind just like I did!
