You'll notice a period of nearly 6 months where nothing happened from the start of May '12 to October. I had essentially given up on the process right before I got the call from my investigator. I hope this is helpful. Good luck everyone.

What did they do during your home visit?

I was at work at the time, but my BI interviewed my wife, took a look around the apartment, and dropped off some neighbor questionnaires. I got the impression that he wanted to get a gauge of how organized I am and if my home life was stressful.

Just completed the last step of the application process yesterday and had the home visit from my BI this morning. Now just gotta wait for the eligibility meeting on the 14 of Jan...I hope I'm one of the applicants picked for Feb academy.

Good luck! Hope to see you in Feb (for both of our sakes).

Update on the E128-4 list:
Next class will be Feb 2013, followed by another class in May. That should take care of everyone being considered in this group. When the E129 list is adopted, that first class will be Oct 2013.

Has the E128-04 applicant pool been diminished to fit into two recruit classes?
E128-04 doesn't expire until Feb 2014.

Does anyone have any study information for the SFPD Police Academy? i.e. official radio codes list, academy protocol, any "knowledge" or speeches one must learn, etc.?

The best thing you can do to prepare yourself for the academy is to get there in shape. You're going to do hours & hours of PT/DT---lots of pushups, bear crawls, chasing the rabbit, running, etc.
Start there.
