Baltimore City Police Department Q&A

[BPDPLEASE]

since the academy starts friday does that mean it continues on through the weekend or is that just "orientation" and then the MAIN academy starts monday?

[TGYNYY]

friday is the initial pt test, monday starts hell week

[BPDPLEASE]

initial pt test? does that consist of the same stuff as physical agility?

[TGYNYY]

the same except a 300 meter run is substituted for the sit and reach

[BPDPLEASE]

so no mile and a half?

[TGYNYY]

....... the same, except the 300 meter is substituted for the sit and reach.

Alright, gentleman..(and ladies)... not new here.. but pretty new to posting. I've been hired on about a year and a half.. graduated with MEBPD... I'll help with any questions I can. Gonna try to get on here as much as work, court, and family let me.
Good luck to all the ones hoping to get hired on.. I used this site through the whole process as well.

so i called my BI today to see what is up, I played dumb and ask them that i was told that academy they were shooting to get me into was feb. and asked why i had not heard from anyone yet and they responsed with " when we are ready to hire you, you will get a call" so i guess no news is good news for now? i'm still in it at least

I know, the wait does seem like forever. But think of it this way, a month from now everything will be said and done. Just a matter of time people! And yes no news is good news.

The test on the first day has higher standards than the one to get hired though correct?
