I did not have a "final interview", nor did anyone else in my class.

All the better then.. Do you they tend to tell you right there if you passed or do you get a call in a week or so?

Meh? You have the oral board and then a second interview with a chief. You did not interview with a chief?

You'll leave with an idea that you passed or not... but you won't get the official call for about a week.

Nope. My process was Prescreening, Poly, Oral, psych, med, Academy.

Not everyone has the final interview. It's only to discuss red flags that came up in your background. Everyone in my group had something, from speeding tickets to a questionable reference, that they got grilled on.

Hmm... they must have changed the process. When i went through, everybody had an interview with a chief and 2 lieutenants.

It is still listed on the DPD website.

PHASE II

Background Investigation:
This process takes approximately four (4) to six (6) weeks to complete.

FINAL PHASE

Final Review Board: Conducted by a Chief of Police


Psychological Examination: Written and oral exam

Medical Examination: Arranged by the Dallas Police Department

What I posted is what they told me in September. I can't really comment what the regular process really is.

Don't want to give anyone false hope, but for years in Dallas, if you were scheduled for the psych and medical you were a lock for an academy spot. That is of course assuming you pass them. Medical is little more then a check to see that you are actually breathing under your own power.

I believe the final review by a chief that they are referring to on the website is a review of the applicant packet. I know when the complete packet (application, background investigation, medical, and psych) is done, the last step is getting the chief over personnel section to review and sign off on it.

Thanks, looking forward to the last phase. Was told I would be called in the beginning of December and that I would be taking the psych/ med only.... If I pass then I'm in the 20 Jan class.
