With 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?

[jpa1990]

I called backgrounds they said my background is "pending", so all I'm doing now is applying else where. I've been putting all my eggs in one basket.

Can I ask what your strategy has been? Have you just been applying everywhere that's hiring or have you been targeting only specific departments you could see yourself having a long term career at?

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

Sfpd is hiring I'm in their academy and it is a big department with a lot of potential to move to different areas. The academy is great

The academy is great

What's the PT like?

[m_sharif]

Does anyone one knows when is the hiring board for October academy ?
Also , does anyone has insight of the psycho2 test ?

@ 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!

Imroc,
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!

I was never given a fitness test. What is that? Please elaborate.
Also, on your COE, does it state which acadamy you are testing for?
