glad you got a call for triage...do you by any chance remember what you scored on the written...the one that was converted on the 1000 point scale..just trying to find out if there at my group yet...

[PPANG]

My Bi should have most of the stuff from my packet right? just missing the transcripts

[mindtrap]

@PPANG: Yeah, the Background Unit should have whatever you sent them. However, I sent them copies only, so I'm going to have to bring the originals to the interview.

Ok, so I had my interview today. It was my first time going through such an "ordeal" with a policy agency. Though I was a tad nervous, it went rather smoothly. It lasted about 1.25 hours for me. My BI went over the original documents that I had brought in. We also went over my Personal History Statement very thoroughly. There was also a question-and-answer conversation where my answers were being recorded. I was asked about relationships, finances, drug use, etc. Hmmm...that's about it, I guess. As long as you're open and honest with your answers, you shall do fine!

I am scheduled for the polygraph for this coming Friday.

[champwhteek]

congratulations mindtrap

[PPANG]

congrats! sfpd seems to be moving along

[mindtrap]

@champwhteek/PPANG: Thanks guys! I had a restless night so only got about 4 hours of sleep last night. Got to the Hall of Justice early, so decided to hang out at the McDonald's next door. Parking was a killer at $16. Oh well...

[BP916]

I had my triage May 15 but never heard anything back. Anyone think I should give them a call?

[PPANG]

no free parking for people coming to interview?

[mindtrap]

@BP916: Hmmm...I don't think it would hurt to call to see what your current status is.

@PPANG: There was street parking in certain areas, but it was for a maximum of 2 hours only without a permit. I didn't want to risk it. There was a parking lot right across the street from the Hall of Justice, but it was totally jam packed when I got there. I think they were charging an hourly rate with a maximum of $15 (?) for the entire day. I ended up parking at Central Parking System (between Boardman and Harriet). It was self-park. $16 flat rate.

If you have a 7 am, the lot across the street will have room.
BP916, I don't know your PHS, but you can call. I would guess that not much will be said though. If it will make you more at ease, sure! But it probably won't change your timeline.
