Chicago Police 2018 / May Exam

[NGUChris]

Rf4 yes, twice at NIPSTA and once at Triton.

It's a machine/pin bench. You'll do the situps in groups of 3-5 at a time.

[NGUChris]

Anyone else get a IPT invite today? Mine is for the 18th and there are 3 time slots to choose from, followed by processing on the 25th.

I already did both for this test cycle so I’ve sent an email to confirm.

[Armanii91]

I recieved an invite, what test is this for?
May 2018?

[Blueready16]

By when do you need to have your foid? Mine taking a while. But I’m going next Saturday for the power test.

[ChicagoRoots]

IDR but if you pass the POWER test, someone will tell you about all that kinda stuff after the run when you and your group are brought into a room (at least that's what happened w/ me at academy during my test)

[iRonM4nWAR]

has anyone received the other portions of the PHQ. I know the due date was due on august 5 havent heard back

[chicagobulls92]

I haven't received my PHQ either so I'm wondering the same thing.

[Armanii91]

LOOK AT THIS...Im in the process for the TWO 2017 exams. And this week I recieved my NTR for IPT this Saturday for May 2018 exam. I signed up to go take the exam but NEVER showed up. AND I still got the NTR to the IPT for this week for it. This process is just all over the place.

[NGUChris]

Let’s see what happens when I show up for the IPT a second time for this exam.

Did you pass?!

I couldn’t do processing last month. I am doing it next week. What should be expected ?

[NGUChris]

Mike_vaughn I have a POWER card so the test was waived! Easily 100-200 people at the 2 pm reporting time. The earlier slot must've had more because they ran behind schedule about 30 minutes.

It was the same as last month - 20 minutes in and out. Was told to report to processing next Saturday at HQ. Got a phone call confirming it was a mistake after checking to see that I'm already in the process but they weren't sure why another letter got sent out. Informed not to go to processing next Saturday.

TL;DR
Already gone through IPT, Processing and PHQ? Don't attend an IPT again for that same test cycle.

[Mike_vaughn]

Haha, my friend passed the 11am class, said he was there until 6pm! 7 hours?! The heat must have been a tough run. Props to everyone who passed today!

Wow

[Blueready16]

Well, passed IPT Saturday. Have that same meeting next saturday. How long further in the process would you say is to go?

[DanielHK]

I took my IPT at the beginning of March and started academy at the end of July. So if all goes well around 5-6 months?

[tfnsylmz]

i'd say 6-12 months and it really depends. i took the IPT at the beginning of March as well like DanielHK but i'm still waiting for my FPT.

[iRonM4nWAR]

I’m trying to find out what the process is for the 2018 CPD, it looks as if, they’re trying to get everyone that passed the test, also pass the physical portion, I took the power test in June but bypassed it with the power card, right now I’m in the PHQ part, and haven’t heard back, Does anyone know or have info. The FTO made it seem as the list was going to go quick, since they put emphasis on keep up with workouts. Also stated by September or October we would be in the academy

[VicJ]

I did my drug test and processing from the May 2018 exam on July 28th and PHQ on August 2nd and still have not heard anything back yet. They said that we could possibly be in the September academy but that's not looking likely at this point. I also will be doing another round of drug testing and processing from the April 2017 exam on August 25th, they said people from there would be in the October academy. So who actually knows what's going on, I just hope everything goes well for me and that I get in sooner rather than later.

[Mike_vaughn]

Is a dress shirt, pants, shoes, and tie okay for processing? Or do you have to wear a suit? After the power, I believe the guy said it was okay not to wear a suit. But everything mentioned above was recommended.

[Fatal]

You can wear a suit for processing, and 100% DEFINITELY wear a tie.

[Tj_floros]

For those who did the processing on July 21st and the IPT on July 14th, has anyone heard anything ? Or been contacted by kentech or CPD for background investigation?

[NGUChris]

Nothing to report here. Is this your first test cycle?

[VicJ]

I did my IPT on July 21st and processing on July 28th. I received an email from Kentech on 8-24-18 at 5:46pm telling me to fill out their PHQ within 24 hours.

[Tj_floros]

NGUChris this will be my 3rd. 2013 DQ, December 2017 (waiting on FPT) and this May 2018 exam. I’m guessing they are gonna try and get through some more December 2017 test takers before moving forward with 2018

[NGUChris]

Ah that’s makes sense then. My 3rd time as well so let’s hope that’s the case.

April 2017 - waiting for FPT
Dec 2017 - last step was submitting the PHQ
May 2018 - submitted PHQ.
