Originally posted by ILTPR View PostFrom what I understand, it was difficult to get all of the required training squeezed into a shorter class and getting fast tracked troopers to adopt the ISP way of doing things (vs doing it the way they did at their old department).
First was trying to get enough people for a Fast Track class. They had to have 3 consecutive yrs as a full time LE and pass the Fast Track tests to get into the class. The test was the same test the cadets in the full term class had to pass. Quite a few couldn't pass the tests. Quite a few who couldn't pass the tests were offerred the full term academy but turned it down because they didn't want to spend the extra 12 or whatever weeks. Attitudes really showed.
Another issue was the Fast Track class was to run at the same time a full term class would run. That way if a Fast Tracker wasn't hacking it they would be sent to the full term class. Trying to schedule courses and instructors for both classes running at the same time but different courses being taught at the same time was a real logistical problem.
Another problem was as ILTPR idenfied was basically attitude.
So what really killed Fast Track were 2 things - it was a PITA to run logistically and attitudes/performance by many in the classes. They killed it themselves.183 FBINA

Originally posted by ISPTPR22 View PostNo. CC119 didnt have a firm start date until approx 1 month before it began. Same with CC118. There will be tentative dates floated out there once backgrounds and interviews in Springfield are completed. Until those start, and there will be plenty of talk on here about backgrounds beginning, nothing is planned.

I have several buddies who I tested with and we are located in various regions across the state. None of us have heard anything nor received any calls about BI's starting. Will definitely keep ya posted when they do if I am so blessed to be one of the chosen out of the pool.

MetalMP is correct. No way would backgrounds be starting in November for an April class. If there was an April class then backgrounds would start in about February.
At this point there is nothing about an April class starting. There is nothing in the budget for any more classes in FY 12.
Someone needs to quit listening to rumors and get back to worrying about finishing the Academy.183 FBINA
