I thought someone on this forum said a national announcement was to take place in the near future? Speculation or just giving us false hope?

The reason why I am asking is I saw that the border states were the only ones posted for the new announcement? Would one have a better chance at these states as far as getting and through the process quicker?

Any news on florida?
I'd say you're roughly right about the overall numbers of CBPO's being hired. Maybe it's a bit more, maybe not. 3-4K will probably be in the ballpark.
There are 327 ports across the US, 15 international preclearance ports, and 58 international cargo ports. Florida's 21 ports represent about 1/16 of just the US ports. By that logic, that's 200-250 new Officers for FL.
Truthfully, FL will probably see a bit more...but don't count on seeing 700-850-1000 new CBPO's hired in FL in 2009. It's not likely to happen.

Got the Call2
Hello everyone, I guess you could say that I was in the outside looking in... However, my hiring process took a bit longer than most (took my test in Sept 07) and just got the call on Feb18 morning. I report to my "orientation" in Calexico, CA and start the academy Apr. 9 Grad: July22.
I just wanted to say "hang in there" to those in wait, and congratulate those who will be in my class. I look forward in meeting them.....Anyone else here going to Calexico, CA???

Family visits at FLETC
I really appreciate all the posters on here. I'm hoping for Blaine one of these days! Let me know your thoughts on the area. I'll be coming from Colorado and don't know anyone there either.
Couple of questions of FLETC. Do families visit often? How much free time do you have? Do most people have families go down for Graduation?
Thanks!
