California Highway Patrol-2018 Testing Cycle

[amberja]

GMPP Nice, congrats and glad you finally heard back! We have to get you added to the list of us waiting for our invites!

[GMPP]

Called in today and was told I passed psych! Sometime between Monday and today they updated! I called Monday afternoon and was still pending.

Hi all,

I started a thread for the 2019 Testing Cycle. Let's move the discussion there to keep it in chronological order.

Here is the link:

Keep in mind it is still waiting on approval, so if you are having issues, that is why

[GMPP]

@amerja Man I hope I get a March invite. I took my psych in late October. Called yesterday and they still haven't received the results. Told me to check in another week. I've been told if I failed I would have been dq'd long ago. Hope I am not being passed up because of calhr!

[amberja]

As an update: I called CHU today just to check in and ask a few questions. I added this one in. The woman I talked to let me know that if you are cleared of medical and psych, you WILL for sure be getting an invite to the next class, which she confirmed as the one beginning in March.

[amberja]

Tahoelivin I did the same... looks like last year they were 2 weeks ahead of us so if they run close to that schedule, we are looking at the end of January/early Feb which holds true to what CHU told me to expect.

Spalos23 that is helpful insight thank you. I haven't seen anyone on here in past forums that had been waiting and did not get an invite for the next class, so that is encouraging. In relation to the rest of this process though, I have to agree with you that nothing is completely guaranteed! Trying to remain carefully optimistic though! haha

[Spalos23]

It is not guaranteed that you (or any of us still waiting) will be invited to the next upcoming academy. From what I understand is, once they finish all the items in the hiring process, your file goes into the bottom of a stack of "eligible for academy". Then they take the ones on top and fill in academy spots until they reach the max number. This is state wide which is why some academies have an influx of people from one area rather than a balance throughout the state. It is more than likely that of us waiting since November/December, we will get a spot but no it is not guaranteed which simply adds to the anxiety of waiting. I check the mail, my CHP account and this forum everyday in hopes to hear of some news that invites are out, patience truly is a virtue (that I seem to be running out of, lol) I will post as soon as I hear something as well, good luck!

[Tahoelivin]

Apparently my last comment didn’t post! I’m right with you! Got lots of time to use at my current job and trying to plan that out plus giving notice and all that! I’ve even gone to the extreme of looking back at the last class and when they got invites as compared to start date! I’m hoping we’ll hear soon! Let me know if you find anything out!

[amberja]

Hi all,

I have to ask as I am anxiously waiting for my invite and trying to plan around it ... does anyone know if it is certain that you will get an invite if invites have not gone out for the next class yet and you have cleared everything in the hiring process?

[amberja]

GMPP yeah it took a while to hear back on psych. Did you have your interview in Sacramento? I have heard that can sometimes speed up the process, otherwise as a baseline, you are looking at 8+ weeks.

Damn so took you 9 weeks to get the Psych cleared? I took mine on 10/26 and still haven't gotten the ok. CHU said this week that it's still not updated
