If there any current officers reading this, I had a question about the hiring process. I am in my second year of the waiting period. Is this normal or should I just give up. I have nothing against me. I have scored strong in all aspects, but I keep getting denied. How long was the wait for any current officers on here. Thanks.

2 year hiring process?
holy crap!The proper drinking of Scotch whisky is more than indulgence: it is a toast to civilization, a tribute to the continuity of culture, a manifesto of man’s determination to use the resources of nature to refresh mind and body and enjoy to the full the senses with which he has been endowed

Never give up!!! How many times now, in the two years, have you gone throught the entire process? I've heard from several current OCPD Officers it took over two years for them to get on. A Lieutenant once told me sometimes it's a game the recruiting department wants to play to see how determined you are on sticking and staying after it. I'll say this, if it's what you want to do and they haven't given you a sign to give up, don't give up!

Have you been told "thanks but no thanks" this time around? How far in the process are you making it? If you're making it to the background investigation and they are then telling you no then it could be something there that they don't like. Could be that they are just filling the slots with more qualified candidates. Hard to say with out more details.
It took me a while to get on (a year and some change). It had to do with a few things but mostly my release date from the Army.Two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead.

I am at one year and a few months. I think that I have lost out to better applicants so far. I have a spottless background. I just have to wait til it is my turn I suppose. I was just wondering what the average wait time is. I have talked to a few guys who have been selected on their first try and others who are kind of like myself. I was trying to poll a few more bodies that might read on this message board to help me with my patience.

i dont know what to think sometimes, supposedly all these agencies are struggling for good people and then a 2 year waiting period...makes a guy wonder.The proper drinking of Scotch whisky is more than indulgence: it is a toast to civilization, a tribute to the continuity of culture, a manifesto of man’s determination to use the resources of nature to refresh mind and body and enjoy to the full the senses with which he has been endowed

Now other classes we've had I've thought "where did they find some of these idiots." Most get washed out in FT but a few will slip through the cracks if they have lazy FTOs. Fortunately the guys I have trained have been teachable.
Just keep at it. I applied to MANY agencies before getting hired here. It's a decent place to work. Pay could be better but it's good. Take home cars, in car laptops, patrol rifle program, lots of specialty units, very easy to get a day off if you want it (24 hours notice and they HAVE to give you comp time off), etc...Two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead.

Hey Chief, correct me if I am wrong, but here a while back wasn';t Tulsa having trouble recruiting people because of their 4 year degree requirement?
What do you think it is that attracts people to Tulsa, when OCPD requires no college (don't think?) and I believe OCPD pays same (Also not positive?). I'm not familiar with either dept, but theyre close from what I understand.
