SFPD Testing

[PDApplicant13]

I heard / read that SFPD PAT has changed, but I looked online and see the same requirements.

1 min push-ups
1 min sit-ups
Trigger pulls
Obstacle course - wall agility

Can anyone who has taken it in the past month confirm or deny? I just like having full situational awareness.

Thanks.

[CandidateforLE]

only thing they no longer do is the trigger pulls. they do the hand grip to test your strength.

[rsuansing]

I believe it's 3 years but can someone confirm the minimum marijuana usage for SFPD?

[CandidateforLE]

i believe its 1-2 years. but not 100 percent sure.

I took the NTN a couple of weeks ago and I passed with an ok score, and was wondering, how long does it normally take for the SFPD to respond?

*Edit* Disregard this, I just got an email for the oral board and PAT, but I wonder if you fail the oral, does that mean you have to retake the NTN?

[rsuansing]

My apologies if this question has been answered... Does the SFPD document (take pics) of candidate tattoos any time during the hiring process?

[LateRookie]

Yes, SFPD will take photos of all your tattoos.

Just wondering what the email exactly said. How long and where are you in the process? Thanks.

Does anyone know the typical wait time to know if you passed your oral and pat? Thank you.

[Mooneyclonduff]

i passed a few weeks ago and am in same boat

[Mooneyclonduff]

Hi everyone so im wondering on backgrounds how hard are they on driving record? Ive had 2 red lights violations in the last two years,driving on cell phone and one rolling stop sign, am i done for???

[Agent68]

Were they all within the last two years?

[Martial_Law]

Well I'll say that the recency of those violations doesn't look good. That's for sure. Whether the department decides to move forward and overlook your disregard of the law is uncertain. I suppose that all you can do is try. The chips can only fall on one of two sides.

[Agent68]

Hey guys! First time posting but I have read the entire forum basically. Congrats to everyone that made it. I just met with my BI yesterday and was told I'm looking at the April academy. Anyone else in the same boat?

[Mooneyclonduff]

im about a month behind you, what was your number on the list?

[Agent68]

9. With about 50 other people that had 9 as well.

[Mooneyclonduff]

im rank 9 as well, my only prob is going to be driving record when i send in background packet. Hopefully ill get to talk to an investigator.

[Agent68]

Sounds like you'll be eligible for the April academy too. Hopefully we both make it!

[Agent68]

Does anyone know how non-select and Passover work? Is that only for when you haven' been assigned a BI yet or can you get put in those categories while in backgrounds?

[Mooneyclonduff]

have you been put on one of them??

[Agent68]

No. I'm just anxious and trying to get more info.

[ACML]

I did my oral board on 10/21 still no answer nothing, sent 2 emails to HR and no response, is this normal?

[CA510]

No news is good news

[Mooneyclonduff]

I was there same day and passed but haven't heard anything from that

[ACML]

Just received the email yesterday, I passed on to PAT. Took forever

[Agent68]

Where is everyone at In the process now?

[Mooneyclonduff]

I sent my package in on the 28th so back to the waiting game

[JennaA.]

According to the point system, I Passed my physical: just waiting for the official email that says I did. In the mean time I’m getting my paperwork in order. I’m already a year into the process so I hope I can get all the paperwork sent out with in the next two weeks.

[ACML]

I take mine on the 25th. How was it ?
