Gilbert PD

[FRLEO12]

Does anyone out there have any intel on Gilbert PD or been part of this years hiring process? Back in May I was told that I passed the oral board and a BI just now contacted me to come in for my fingerprints and background interview.

Has anyone completed their background with Gilbert this year or have intel on how many recruits they need to hire or an academy date?

if you get to the polygraph, just be prepared to list the porn sites you frequent. yep, honestly asked me to write them down, i was amazed/dumbfounded. I've taken multiple polygraphs(5+), I've never ever heard of this being an actual question(and they had this question typed out on paper like it was SOP, so its not like they randomly thought up this question based on my answers. It was with a female polygraph instructor about my mom's age too... super awkward...

Did you take your poly this year?

first time I've ever heard of that too, usually they just ask what kind of stuff you watch and leave it at that.

gilbert poly last year. I also got that "what kind do you watch question", which seems super strange too. Usually the only mention of porn is "have you ever intentionally viewed child porn", but Gilbert is like, please list all your fetishes/subcategories here and on what websites... I was super tempted to tell the polygraph lady i like watching milf interrogation/domination stuff, and then just stop talking and intensely stare at her. glad I stopped applying with them; they must have had some big porn problems in the past to ask such indepth questions as SOP.

Anyone know how many they're looking to hire for this upcoming test? Also is the written still that video thing they had a few years back or is it just all on paper now?

When I tested earlier this year it was the frontline video test, a written test, and a police reporting writing test.

[AZSBEST]

Okay, thanks for the info!

[Az85029]

No problem

I took the written test on October 28th, then the physical on October 31. Passed both, then did my oral board on November 4th and passed that. I am now on the 6 month eligibility list for my background interview. Fingers crossed!! They said they typically end up hiring about 5-6 recruits per hiring process. Technically only looking for 1 though.

If you get hired u'll be super bored...some of lowest crime levels in the state, top ranked city in country.

[askiles]

That's fine with me. As an officer there is much to be done in the way of community involvement that doesn't have to involve crime. But thanks!

Askiles, any news on when Gilbert is going to opening up their hiring?

[askiles]

They do a recruitment every 6 months. So the next time they do one will probably be around April or May. No word from them as of yet on my BI.

Guess what...Gilbert testing time again! LOL I am taking the written on April 30th @ 1:30, and then the PT on May 2nd @ 7:00. Anyone else joining in on this round of hiring? I know its a long shot, but I never know unless I try.
