I understand there are different variables that come into play, but im just looking for a rough estimate. It seems for the most part that Tx area departments have a streamlined process, some as quick as 3 months. Most Louisiana depts, including mine, average 8-16 months for an applicant to be processed.

Depends I guess on how the hiring process is set up. Larger departments, Houston for one, will probably take longer than most smaller agencies. I work for a department of 170. For us, from civil service exam to a job offer is around 3 months, four at the most. Other agencies near us, same size or smaller, 3 months or less.
Hope it helps.

Mine took about a month and a half. Reason being I had to wait about 2.5 weeks until the next test date (written/physical) and then needed to wait about 3.5 weeks on background. The rest pretty much fell into place quickly. Of course my agency dose not use polygraph either so that took out a step.Ever feel like you live in the state of confusion?

That's just about as fast as i have heard for a major police agency. Where did your background investigation come into play?
