L.A.S.D DST Status

[SSJHectic]

To all applicants, I'm a current lasd deputy and am giving any of you the opportunity to ask me questions about your background process. Please keep it short and to the point, and I'll do my best to answer as many as I can

My background investigator recently visited/interviewed all my neighbors. Is this a sign that my long awaited background investigation is finally coming to an end?

4.5 Months

I was just informed that I had passed poly..

If you are still being processed and they didn’t hit you up you passed poly. No news is good news.

Just an FYI, most background investigators with LASD have 40 to 50 applicants, so if your wondering why it takes so long, read between those lines.

Hello everyone, I’m new to the forum and I’m a current applicant with LASD. Just wondering how many current applicants got reassigned a new BI. Is it normal to be reassigned a BI after almost being at the tail end of the BG investigation?

[cruz0311]

You got reassigned to a new BI because that investigator is leaving the background unit

My background file has been submitted for administrative review on friday and im super excited, anyone know about how long it takes to hear back for the final results?(conditional job offer)

[vuongv89]

Hey where does lasd send for psych? Its not at The Council Team in San Bernardino right?

[cruz0311]

Vuongv89 what does that information matter. They send you to where they send you. We do not send anyone out of county for psych. Some of you guys come on here looking for some kind of edge or trying to game this process. Cut it out! Put your best foot forward and be honest, thats the best thing you could do!

[vuongv89]

Only reason why I asked was because I just did my psych there for another agency and saw a LASD patch so i thought you guys used them as well not looking for no edge of trying to game the process.

[cruz0311]

Copy, good luck!

Anybody have any insight as to how long the wait is (typically) in between each segment of the process? I know the whole "no news is good news" thing but after combing through this thread and some others, I still can't help but wonder my own position. Currently I am awaiting further news since participating in the out of area process back in early March. Last completed segment being the poly. I know my references have been emailed, and employers have been contacted via mail. This is all I know at this point. Has anybody else been in this position?

Also would like to know of anyone who participated in the out of area process in March to compare timelines.

Thank you.

Backgrounds can take from 6 to 9 months even a year. The background investigators on the department are overloaded with work. So take that as you will. Your BI will let you know whats up. If you dont hear anything its because your BI is busy working casss that have been assigned to them prior to yours.

[Fisher101]

Cruz0311 copy that. Thank you for the reply!
