[CoastyEmt06]

Anybody going through HPD process right now? I just took my PT test last Thursday.

[UGSAce52]

Just curious how long did the hiring process take for you?

Yeah going for October I take my pt test next thursday July 10th I believe

UGS I'm still going through the process, I took my pt test a couple weeks ago and was told someone would be in touch, my BI emailed me a week ago to get some statements on prescribed medications and I haven't heard anything yet, I'm a little worried that I haven't scheduled my polygraph yet, anybody in the same boat?

You have plenty of time. A "clean" background with a local applicant can be done in about 4 weeks. If there are some issues to work through or some travel involved it can add a few days to a few weeks to the process.

Coasty,

I am hopefully in the running for the October Academy. I flew in to Houston for the week to do the out of state testing. I was able to complete the written, agility, and polygraph. If anyone is reading this and is from out of state and considering applying, HPD has a really great program for out of state applicants!

Hello, does anyone know how many years does the background investigation cover? I mean is it the last 5 years from the date of the BI starting, or 10 years for example??

I lived abroad for 11 years, that's why I'm curious.

Will there be a sign-up bonus for the October class like the previous class?

[jr03]

I hope so but maybe not since they haven't announced it yet. It would be helpful though, especially for me since I will be moving across the country!

I am. Discharged from the Army in March, Started application process with HPD in April, was told too late for the June class, got pushed to October class.

Gazablee, Just curious, are you an out of state applicant, or did you move to Houston when you left the Army in March?
