Fort Lauderdale Applicants

Just curious if anyone on here that is in FLPD's process is on the eligible list and what your rank so far was...

[LawlSTi]

Took my Oral board with FLPD about 3 weeks ago. First oral board Ive ever taken. Passed and on the list but not putting too much money on it just yet as I scored an 80%. If I do get a call to move on in the process then I'll be ready but not gonna get my hopes up lol.

That sounds solid man, keep up the good work. I know when I went for my ride along and agility about 2 months ago the sergeant that night told me they were looking to fill about 25 positions. So #11 is not BAD!

All the best,

I will have to agree with you that the department is hiring quite a few officers.

I hope to be applying soon as a lateral transfer from MI.

I am trying to find out how the City of Fort Lauderdale is to live in. Also, can you point me to add other web sites that talks about Fort Lauderdale.

Any information that you can pass along would be greatly appreciated.

Dont want to burst your bubble man, but I was told when I passed with 80% that it put me in the 9th - 10th rank. That doesnt mean I'm the 9th or 10th person on the list. It means I fall in that ranking with a bunch of other people within that rank. They only proceed to advance people within the 1st - 5th ranking. Sorry =(

Just keep at it everyone, you will all move up in rank eventually, it might take longer than expected because everyone and their mom wants to be cops all of a sudden. But ALOT of people will fail the psych test and just get DQ'ed for random stuff, its not impossible!

How long ago was your oral board?

[LawlSTi]

Okay I see that point, however there are 25 positions available....so the first 5 on the list get hired lets say, there's 20 positions left. So ranking top 10 seems decent no? In other words its not a list of people, there are certain grades based on your test score? They should really specify, haha.

I think what he was trying to say was that there maybe be like 5 or 6 people for EACH number ranking. I do not know if that is right or not, but that is what he was trying to say. Remember though to take information you read online with a grain of salt..

This is true there CAN be more than one person in each rank, but it doesn't mean that there always is. This should be explained in the letter you received with your rank #.

I don't understand how a rookie can outscore a lateral?

I mean I have some experience from fields like security, military, non sworn police work, aviation... but it doesn't replace lateral police work!

just don't understand how anyone like me would stand a chance...
