I took the test for MdTA on march 3rd. It was pretty packed in the testing area. Its amazing how many people are removed prior from the start of testing, because they have been involved with drug use recently? I feel like the MdTA test was extremely long? I was caught off guard alittle by the math portion of the test. I passed and now awaiting the march 13th physical. I wonder if my background investigation will move along pretty quickly? I would like to be eligiable for the next academy class, if possible? Does anybody know if the cars are allowed to be taken home?PGPD

I hope my background investigation can move along pretty quickly, with result or me being hired? I am extremely anxious to start a career as a leo.
mp1161, are you currently employed by MdTA??
btw, thank you for all the info you have provided!PGPD

I was told that "additional" courses can be taken? Are these classes taken at the academy? Do i pay for these classes or will MdTA cover the charge?

You get 45 credits towards an associates degree in Criminal Justice or Police Science (something like that) through CCBC. You earn these credits while in the academy so it's a win-win situation: you are in the academy to become a police officer and you are receiving college credits for your work. This is completely free to you, and remember, you make entry-level salary while in the academy. The other 15 credits you will have to take during your own time, but the department has a tuition reimbursement program so you're not paying 100%. I'm not too sure about the "additional "courses" but I would recommend you get your degree because the department gives you a nice financial incentive for it once you receive it.
As I told OnTheFence82, be patient because the process does take a while.

Confirmed verbally that I passed the oral board and I'm in background investigation phase. I'm pretty much a straight edge so I can't imagine anything coming up but it's not over until it's over so we shall see. While I want this to happen sooner rather than later, I'm learning to enjoy the time it's taking as it's more opportunity to continue improving my physical fitness. If I'm selected and we start in the winter or even June I'll be training till then.
I see now they're conducting the PAT at 5th Reg in Baltimore, does that mean they get an even larger turn out? From what I remember there's a 1/2 mile indoor track there right?
