North Chicago

[Challenger_SRT-8]

We all seen/heard of the LSD incident...Was it really necessary to bump the employment thread? Jesus Christ..

I dont think this is an employment thread, unless i missed something. Im pretty sure this is a discussion topic. Based off your join date, Im sure you have seen this thread get "bumped" since it started, as like other PD's discussed on this site. If you are bothered by what people say about North Chicago, or who share publicized events in a publicized discussion website, then go on about your day....and yes, seems like some individuals there do need JC

I was stuck in that mayhem on the way to work this morning . . . I got there when the the gridlock started, so I got through relatively quick. Crazy to see though . . .

I turned down a job there 3 years ago. Looking like a great career decision.

Same here. About time.

They have started sending out letters to references requesting some information. I live with one of my references and they received a letter asking a couple different things.

[383897]

From who? I doubt it man. They like quit their process.

[knowbudy]

I heard they have started interviewing references....

[Kuhlers]

Still waiting.

By the time they have orals ill be retired. I was excited at first and now not so much. April test takers haven't even taken the oral exam and no list yet. Oh well

That's ridiculous. They need new officers, fast. A few weeks ago they had to call in officers from Lake Forest, Vernon Hills, and other towns to help them out because NC had 4 officers for one shift.

My guess is that you good guys and gals will get hired but they will need to test again very soon. Having 50 people at the test, a fraction of those people passing, then a fraction of those people going through the rest of the process, passing it all, and making it through academy and FTO is just not enough of a pool to hire the potential 7-8 or more officers they need. Oh lets not forget to mention that they did not receive ANY lateral candidate applications which did not help their situation either.

I'm interested to see what's going to happen.
