Did anyone do the physical examination for the Evanston Police Department today? I did it today and passed it and wanted to know was there anyone else there?

I had the 2:30 time.... passed, saw some people fail the bench, but the worse was watching the guy who was doing the run. He did 3 or 4 laps and just collapsed on the side of the track.... was on a good pace, but he just was done and didn't have anything left.

Another bad thing was they gave people an opportunity to do a second attempt... So some people had to run the 1.5 Mile twice if they failed it the first time.. That had to be brutal... I was talking to one guy who said he was just going to leave because he failed the run and the bench press the first time.. I told him not to quit and try once more, but I don't know if he stayed or not because I didn't see him anymore

I was there at 1Pm and saw the puking guy and one guy on the bench fail. I talked to the lady at the sign in desk and was told that only 191 applications were filled out correctly. For a 164 sworn member department that seems like good odds figuring that that will be cut down on the rest of the testing process. Anyone know how many of the last list they went through?

Beware Evanston. They will pick who they want and it has zero to do with how you test at any stage of the process. Been there - done that - after being # 3 after the written and going through the entire process, i was passed over because I "didn't show enough interest in the village of Evanston". Later found out that a relative of a village employee who was ranked well over 100 got my spot. Later hired at a different dept. Turns out it was a blessing in disguise.
Just my experience.

Agree on the power. Took one 1 week ago, just before me I saw about 12 guys fail the bench (out of roughly 60). I had 265 on mine, I told the officers to stack 315 to make it nice and even but they wouldn't. I brought it down and held it for about 2 seconds then racked it. That's how it's done, got to practice. Ohh yeah, for a big guy like me I did the 1.5 in 12:15, I finished in the top 50 in my group of 25 that ran. If you can't even pass the silly power test, how do you expect to make it in the academy?
