    Oh, finally!! What should I expect?

    I finally got the call a few minutes ago for my background investigation for the Nampa Police Department in Idaho (This is actually my dream department). I was told on the phone by the Sergeant, that I only need to bring my I.D. and I need to be prepared to write. Emphasis on the word "write." I'm assuming that this will include a large background packet, that'll need to be filled out. Am I also right to assume that this will include my polygraph phase? What can and should I expect?

    I know there's not much I can do to prepare. I've pretty much always been a straight arrow, so I'm not really worried about that. The worst things I've done were stealing G.I. Joes and baseball cards when I was 10. Then, when I was 14, I managed to be stupid enough to put a marijiuana butt in my mouth (Yes, it was just once). Should I be ready for anything?

    (Sorry if this is an annoying question. I just want to do as well as I possibly can.)

    Fill out a background packet online so you can get all your ducks in order before you go it.

      Online? That option wasn't offered to me. Not only that, but their website doesn't have any packet like that available. Do you mean a practice packet?

        Write only the truth and speak only the truth and you will be okay. Be aware those guys will have some of the honest answers from doing your background and going over your packet. If you lied they will catch it.

        And good luck.

            When I got my BI packet, I copied it. I then went and filled out the copy. After fixing mistakes, adding stuff, etc. I finally had a complete "guide" to fill out the original (which had to be the one handed in... they wouldn't accept a copy).

              You can go to just about any large dept.'s website and they should have an e-copy. Since all BG packets are pretty much the same you can just fill it out, and use it as a template so you dont miss anything.

              Great job and good luck.
