Well this is my very first post. After a couple of months lurking and just reading these posts I figure I would finally sign up and now I have a question for you guys.
I will be testing with the Cookeville Police Department on 20 August 2008. I received the packet in the mail yesterday and am currently in the process of filling out the information.
Three quick questions if someone would be so kind as to answer them for me:
1. How long does the process usually take? From the packet it states that should I pass the written and then the physical agility course on the 20th that I would be scheduled for an interview on the 21st. Following that, how long does it take for a BI to be done considering I live in town and have lived here for just about ten years.
2. I understand the physical test is done with an obstacle course, exactly how should one train to accomplish this task? Breaking down each event none of it seems to be too difficult. But I want to be able to max out on it and would like some advice on what I should be focusing on for the next month before the test. The vehicle push and the trigger pull are two items I do not feel as though they are going to be troublesome.
3. Lastly, I would greatly appreciate any advice someone would have that has gone through this process or even has any knowledge of these tests.
Thanks for your time,
Chris
