ItOriginally posted by jpa1990 View PostWith all the info. leaking all over the news it is disturbing to hear that the officers involved in these allegations are those who have yet to hit there 5 year mark. I personally feel discourage to join OPD, but at the same time I want to be a part of the positive changes that will soon come to the Department.
Jpa1990,
Any word from background? Did you call yet?

Focusing on a department where I see a long term career.

@ M_sharif regarding insight of the psych test. You will find most reluctant to comment on specifics of the psych exam so that they are not disqualified for the reveal.
In general, you serve yourself and the position well if you answer true for yourself. Answering how you think an ideal cadet would answer can and does get one bounced. It is nearly the last hurdle. Why not just let the "dice" roll.
My exam was taken three months ago and last I checked my file is being reviewed. July academy position? I hope so.. could I be non-selected? Having met some of the guys at "Backgrounds" yes could be others are more of what they are looking for even if I believe my life experience looks mighty good on paper.
It is still a competition..... as it should be.
Best of luck to all of you in the process with Oakland!Last edited by lmroc; 06-28-2016, 05:35 PM.

How long did it take you to clear background, from first contact by Bi to completion? When did you sign you CO? Finally, when did you do psych?
By the way congrats!

@Tobeleo- met with background investigator late in the evening at OPD facility on 12/14/2015. Given two pages of an OPD fitness test. Had self tested results sent to him within 10 days. 01/29/2016 he reported that he submitted background file.
Sent for psych exam on 3/3/2016 and the CO was submitted to them two days prior.Last edited by lmroc; 06-29-2016, 11:01 AM.
