Question about "the board"!!

[msnita]

Hello, to all of you! I just have a quick question. I have went through the entire process w/Mesa, AZ PD, (written, physical agility, background interview, and poly) My background investigation is finished and I received a call from my BI which says that my file will go to "the board" this week. Can anyone tell me who they are and what they do? Is it up to them whether or not I am hired?

most places that ive seen the cheif has the final say who is hired, the board is usually one of three things, its a panel that reviews applications, to see who is weeded out pre-background or interview, which you already passed that, 2- its an interview panel (which i dont think i saw you say that you have already done an interview, some agencies have two interview boards, so its probably a final interview (cheif, city mayor or manager, and brass) or it could be a panel that reviews all the final applicants that passed everything, then they send there recommendations to the cheif. but this is oklahoma, however there are several officers from arizona on here, so hang out and look for their responses. hope that helps and good luck..

And yes, I did have an interview. It was the step between the written exam and the physical agility.
