I have my meeting with my background investigator tomorrow, how soon could I expect to do my polygraph?

[Buck411]

I got my polygraph appointment 2 weeks after my background interview.

[PositiveOutlook]

Great, thanks for the reply!

[Buck411]

I’ve seen in various posts some conflicting information. What are the current color vision tests administered by LASD Medical?

[cruz0311]

Buck411, whatever test they give you, you have to pass. When I went through I had the Farnsworth D15, some Deputies have had the Ishihara test. Hope this helps and yes color blindness is disqualifying with us.

[Buck411]

I do understand that and thank you. I just heard LASD no longer uses Farnsworth, but have heard conflicting information.

Hello & Happy New Year,

Anybody scheduled for the Captains interview this Wednesday? (1/9) and starting the academy 2/7?

Does anybody know if the 2/7 Academy will be at BC or C.O.C?

If you start the academy in Feb, feel free to private message me, let’s connect before Black Monday lol

[JCCruz]

Academy Class #437 will be at BC

Hello! Happy New Years Everyone.

I just wanted to post and follow this thread as I begin the process for LASD this week. I’m currently active duty military and will be getting out later this year and hopefully can land a job with LASD. Goodluck to all of you!

I got my polygraph appointment 2 weeks after my background interview.

That's a bit of a relief. I met with my BI on 12/27 and still have yet to hear back. Hoping I get scheduled a poly soon.

For those who have moved passed backgrounds. Approximately how long till it was complete? I know it varies for all but just a more or less timeframe. I met with my BI back in sept for the out of state four day consecutive testing. I feel as if I was to be DQ this would have happened already. any input much appreciated.

I have my polygraph coming up. I get nervous sometimes without reason and was even nervous during my background interview. Any advice would be a huge help. Thanks!

If all goes well, how far would I go in the process if I apply now to April or June? I've been recently accepted at lvmpd(vegas pd) and I'm being told I might be in the academy April or June depending on budget. The reason I want to apply is to keep my options open in the event Metro puts another delay or goes on a freeze. Thanks in advance.

[cruz0311]

How far would you get? That all depends on what kind of background you have and the caseload your BI has. The process is about 6 to 9 months. Your BI is gonna ask why you applying if you have already been accepted by Metro. So dont be too surprised if theyre not too excited about processing someone who has been accepted somewhere else and LASD is your back up plan.

[Kimo]

that's what I figured. I will just have to be patient. Thanks for the fast reply.

Any one else going to be in academy class 437 that starts on February 7?

[Theblueguy]

Well my process took about 11 months, and for my background it took about 5 months but out of those 5 months i was about 3 months on the queue due to many applicants being processed by my BI

[Rortiz99]

@erub
The process was about 10 months for me. The background took around 6 months but it all depends on your history.

[SeniorRookie]
