I got my call on Friday for Pontiac

[Tactical_Viking]

Badass. I’m still waiting for a call for spoon river

[Lasha]

Check your emails and everything! And I’m wishing you the best! Let us know when you get that call!

[aalex]

Guess I was just lucky; tested in June and got the call in July.

[Lasha]

Congratulations Alex! What facility will you be going to?

[aalex]

Swicc .

I tested 5/23/18 and was asked for a pic of my tattoo 07/03/2018 (sent the pic the same day) and now I’m waiting. Does them asking for the picture mean any good news?

[Lasha]

It means that they are at least viewing your info which is always a good thing. Now you just have to wait until your background is cleared.. hopefully you’ll be getting a call for the next class *fingers crossed*

[ayenic]

Lasha, I called them the other day and was told they my background has cleared and have two weeks to hear anything in for the next class.

[Lasha]

Great! Best wishes

[ayenic]

I got the call!! So excited! I will be going to Sheridan in Lasalle county

[lcoop]

Just got another email asking for my tattoo pics. Hoping for a call for August. Pics sent in right away. I heard they are hiring a ton for Pontiac.

[Prevent]

Yup, whole state is.

[lcoop]

Are you already an employee?

[lcoop]

Stateville academy starts August 6th and Pontiac academy starts August 13th.

[KrayJack]

Congrats guys you'll learn a lot in a short time at the academy, be prepared to eat state food..

[Del85]

Geez I tested 5/23 and haven't even received my score in the mail this go around. Have you guys got your scores yet? I had a buddy test same day and he got a call 3 weeks later.

[ayenic]

I tested the same day as you. I got my score a week before the academy. They haven’t mentioned when the next class will be tho but we went from 146 to 142 people so far.

[aalex]

I heard they have the academy planned for the next couple months, 3 classes expected.
Started with 147 (one did not show up initially, one got another job, one failed the drug test, one left for medical reasons, and one just didn't like the academy setting... so down to 142.... Supposedly a little over a dozen did not pass week 2's firearm qualifications and have to retest next week).
Some people in the academy have been on the waiting list for over a year, others tested in late June and started in early August. Keep your hopes up!
