Still waiting for hiring board opd

Still waiting for hiring board opd

I would call opd and tell them when you applied, and ask if that list is still active

@williampenn Sir, what does it mean when then say administrative waiver?

[Ap1987]

I'm ecstatic I will be attending Sfpd's 253 academy on April 11th, just got the call yesterday

[williampenn]

An administrative waiver is when the staff waives an appointment for an applicant. For example, an applicant can be put on admin waiver if they don't meet the height/weight requirement.

Mr. William , I'm in the final stages of background with opd and just applied to sfpd . Would that some how make my process quicker or they have to do their 40 hours too of investigation ?
