Baltimore City Police Department Q&A

[HTFU12]

Sapper123, did they schedule you for an interview?

[Sapper123]

Yes. Its not scheduled yet, but I've been assigned a BI. Its just up to me to schedule it now.

[HTFU12]

Okay gotcha, I was just trying to gauge the waiting game. When I did my PFT they said they were rolling out a new method of the process which would be almost all online, is that the case with you?

[Sapper123]

I don't know anything about that

[rpolanc621]

Hello to all,

First time posting on here. I’ve been going through this process since about March of this year. I was just scheduled for my physical and psych next week.

[Mikeswift91]

Hey good luck with the process and hope all goes well. How was the interview, background and poly?

[gmen0587]

rpolanc621 did you have your interview? If so when? How long did it take for them to contact you?

[rpolanc621]

Mikeswift91 Thanks! My initial* BI was really good - we maintained good communication through email. Luckily, she went ahead and sent me all the required forms through email prior me actually interviewing with her. I believe she did that because I’m from out of state. However, after I met with her, about 2-3 weeks after I was assigned a new investigator. So a few of the documents had to be resent. after about a week or so of resending documents and clarifying them - my package was sent for approval - that took from what it appeared, a few days to be approved. The poly - was definitely a new experience for me. But they simply address some of the important stuff that you put on your packet. Drugs, DV, Employment, etc.

rpolanc621 where are you from? Seems like your process was longer than some others I’ve spoken to. Mine is going in the same direction I think lol I did my written and agility in august and the detective there told me I’m still pending. Sucks cuz I’m getting impatient lol

[rpolanc621]

gmen0587 im from NY - trust me, I felt the same way. Especially since they called me several times after my physical to ask me if I was “still interested” - but after they assigned me my BI - I feel it’s been pretty smooth sailing - even with the fact that I’ve had to travel down there only when I get a chance to because of work

[gmen0587]

rpolanc621 yea man I hear you. I’m from jersey and I got lucky the weekend I picked to go down they were doing the agility. Hope I get assigned a BI soon lol I’m ready to make the move out of jersey. Gave up on trying to be a cop here.

[UltimaX5]

Good luck to everyone in the process I'm awaiting the final call

[gmen0587]

UltimaX5 how long did your process take?

[UltimaX5]

6 months so far

[rpolanc621]

UltimaX5 from start to end? Or after you were assigned a BI?
have you heard of a possible December class?

[UltimaX5]

From start to end, and yes I heard December class also

[rpolanc621]

Anyone waiting on a final call or finalizing their process soon that are interested in renting a place?

[CopQuestions8]

How hard are they on your preliminary Questionnaire. I have some mishaps growing up but I can't remember things I did 10yearss ago. Are they really strick when it comes to your background?

That bad being a cop there or just the process is hard?
