I have no idea, I don't know anything about this dept or anyone who works there, just say it and thought I'd share. I've just never seen a quick process like this, approx 3.5 months from written to academy according to what they say in their packet..

Thanks for the response. I saw that, and being the cynic that I am, My first Thought is " OK why is it that fast"

Bet The BI'S are loving that window. Regardless it was very nice of you to post that for everyone! Thanks again.

Ive heard of departments going that fast. A friend of mine just recently took the Madison written and oral, and was given a conditional offer at the oral board. Three weeks later he started the academy. So yeah, its rare, but they can move fast.
