PMs are now on. Thanks for the info.

Is there a place to find the listing of upcoming academy dates? Thanks

My home interview was supposed to be today, but got pushed back to next week. What's the dress code for this? And what should I expect?

I was told to wear a suit for all phases, including the home interview. Has the process slowed down for anyone else since the election? I have not heard anything since the security interview almost two months ago and don't know what to think.

I wore a dress shirt and tie. It's very laid back.

8 months post SI, HCD and my FO both said things have slowed a lot but my application is still active.

[Usingcarmex]

It has slowed down due to flooding down at the Academy and the elections.

Anyone heard anything else? Start date? Etc?

Removed due to no response...

Hi everyone,

Like many others, I have come on this board to read about other people's experiences and/or get questions answered. I haven't decided to post, until now.

I had something very strange happen to me... I took my poly 6 weeks ago and received a 2nd COE on Tuesday (same as before, but just deleted the steps I had already completed, including poly). I emailed my local FO after I received it, making sure it wasn't a mistake and then heard from my local FO that they were going to reach out soon, to schedule my medical. 4 days later, I received an email that I am no longer being considered for the position. Has this happened to anyone before?

Here is my timeline:

Applied 2/18/2016
SAEE 5/19/2016
Notified of passing SAEE 06/04/2016
SUPER 07/14/2016
COE 07/19/2016
Security packet sent 7/19/2016
Security packet turned in 7/25/2016
Factor V 8/10/2016
Polygraph 10/28/2016
Emailed 2nd COE: 12/6/2016
Emailed no longer being considered: 12/10/2016

Hmm sorry to hear that

[JJN21]

If I hadn't spoken to the FO before I received the last email, I would have assumed that too. However, when I spoke with her on the phone, I asked if since they were scheduling my medical, if that meant I had passed and she said that if I hadn't passed they would not have reached out for my availability. I guess it could still be the case, though. The agent at the end of my poly was very nice and told me to send them my updated employer information, and that also made me feel like I passed. I'm wondering if I just didn't compare to the same people I was being evaluated with at the same stage as me. :/

No, not that I was made aware of. I will keep you all posted if I hear anything else. Good luck to those still in the process!

I had my polygraph three months ago and just received the dreaded thanks but no thanks email. Based on reading this forum, I thought you had two opportunities for the polygraph. This is frustrating for me, considering I am currently a gov't investigator and have a boring background. Good luck to everyone else in the running.
