While the info is buried in another San Diego PD thread, I wanted to make sure everybody knew about the hiring freeze that was announced today. I know there were quite a few people planning to come out here and test from far-away lands. ALL academies after October have been cancelled until further notice. That may be a loooonnnnngggg time since they say the budget is going to be 100 million short next year....no doubt typical city lies but that's the number they are throwing around.

Thank you Mr. Goldstone!

So anyone know where that leaves us that are currently in the background stage? Will we continue on and be placed on an eligibility list, or is the entire process cut off 'til further notice? This is the second time this has happened to me during a hiring process for LE this year!!

Seems pretty straightforward to me.
There are a few exceptions to the freeze, such as the current police and fire academy recruits, but Goldstone said all future academies will be canceled until further notice.
With this in mind, Miramar's academy is going to have more slots for open-enrollees. Not sure what good it does since no one is hiring, but they may get first dibs as academy grads. Just throwing that out there.

I just read the article from the SDPOA website. I also contacted my background investigator. They all echo what Blue Leader has already stated: the October academy is safe. It will run and people who have received offers will attend. However, the January academy is another story.
SDLEO2B, good luck today.

However, if the October acdemy information turns out to be inaccurate, you can just blame City management for backing out on a promise made to the department....which wouldn't be anything new."Get busy dying or get busy living".....Andy Dufrain, Shawshank Redemption

So, HDPossible and anyone else already holding a conditional offer, you guys are good to go from the sounds of it. Unfortunately I missed it by 24 hours. Of course, the same ol' rhetoric applies. "You never know. They might call you next week and say we got approval for the full 50 for Oct. Someone dropped out of the process for xyz reasons, etc. etc."
What I was told was that there are 44 going to the Oct. academy and that the future academies will likely be less than 25 maybe less than 10.
So, more waiting for me. To all you that are going in Oct. CONGRATS! I wish I were in your shoes
Oh, and Blue Leader was rightSDLEO2B
