The cbpo polly consists of drug related, theft related and terrorism related questions.

Just curious, when was the first time you sat down and met with your BI?

[Victorious3801]

My poly didn't ask any questions about my divorce.

So, I've been in the process for almost two years now. I took the poly on January/2015, met with the background investigator a month ago, and I received the provisional clear form last week. Does anyone have an idea of how much longer the process will be? When are the next academies?

Hello everyone, I have a question for people that know...

I've just finished my first week of Pre-academy, and there is a small group of us that have started together. Certain aspects of the job require that I have fully completed a background investigation. There are four of us in the class that have not completed a background investigation all the way and I was one of them. They announced it today and I was in shock because I was under the impression that the lady who had called me told me that I had completed backgrounds. After speaking to two of the FTO's there, they told me not to worry because this type of thing happens all the time with groups of people that they hire that there are always people who have not cleared backgrounds yet but always clear it after a few weeks or during academy.

I'm asking on here because I want to know what others think about this (sorry, only those that have been through this sort of thing i.e. people that have been hired and still not cleared in backgrounds please.) Might my FTO's only be saying this to calm me down? I would think that in order to pull me out of pre-academy or the academy itself because of something in my backgrounds that it would have to be a pretty significant thing, which I have nothing in there that is pretty significant. What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance for any advice...

That's normal. I had maybe 10 or more in my group who's background wasn't clear during pre academy. Where are you stationed?

There are 10-12 classes left between now and the closing of the fiscal year (September 30).

I think the next class opens 08/18.

Where can I check the schedule for the next classes? I just want to be sure on the dates...

As far as I know, class schedules are not officially released publicly.

You could ask MHC. They might share what they know.

Interesting. How many are in each class?

When are they going to open up for other ports around the US? They have had the border ports open forever. Must be a lot transferring from there to other places.

Usually 48 is the standard.

I've also seen class sizes of 24 and 36...so it often depends on agency needs.

Normally, they plan for 48, 2-5 people are no-shows...and they run with 40 some-odd students.
