Torrance Police Department Eligibility List

[camelotskin]

Has anyone gone through the process with TPD? I know that Torrance is a difficult department to get into, however I had my background interview a few months ago and was told that I had no automatic disqualifiers and made their eligibility list. Most departments put their candidates in some sort of ranking order so you have an idea if there is even a possibility that you will ever move into backgrounds, but from what I have seen TPD does not let their candidates know. I am just wondering if anyone has gotten the call to move forward into the B.I. phase after they made TPD's eligibilty list?

Thanks

I am in the same boat as you. I had my pre interview in October. Last I heard, the city had a major budget cut late last year and the recruitment was effectively cancelled. I have pretty much written off that avenue of employment. I don't think TPD is hiring soon.

I kinda figured something wasn't quite right. I felt that if I was going to move into the B.I. phase they would have been a little more aggressive in moving me along. I had no idea about the budget problems, but when I had my interview in February they were trying to get a few recruits into the March or April academy. It's still a great agency...maybe next tim around? On a brighter note I am moving along with Culver City PD and testing with Burbank in April. TTYL
