Still can't believe we haven't heard anything yet.
The least they can do is just send the letter and let us know if we passed or failed.

I haven't heard anything since the test. It's only been a little over 2 weeks since we have taken it though. I'm sure we will here something soon, they're probably just trying to figure out what they want to do next and already have our results.
I am a little anxious to see this list, not too many people there.

Really? I'm from the area too and I have yet to see a "great area" in North Chicago, Waukegan, or Zion. Please enlighten me.

I'm from the surrounding area. No department is perfect. The city has a lot of great areas.

Luckily this isn't a Dept. that makes knee jerk decisions with people's careers because of what's said in the media, by "play reverends," by who packs a city council meeting and screams the loudest, but after a thorough investigation done by an outside agency (ISP)......or not.. Funny, not a lot is said about the interim Chief they brought in from Lake Forest PD that was shouted down at a council meeting by a crowd because "he ain't one of us,." and resigned on the spot. Just where I'd want to work.

Just like other places discussed here though, guys don't wanna hear it. I get that some of you want a job, but think about it. If you do go there, get out.

This is not as much of a race issue as first believed. Many races within the department have been questioned for the allegations.

Yeah they do. Plus he was on desk, on paid leave, and then fired. Common steps to fire a po.

[Finley78]

don't most departments?
It is my understanding that government departments do have a union...I could be wrong?
