^Not directed at anyone specific but very true Agent BOND . People are quick to "know everything" about our job yet have not spent a single day in our shoes. I'm a PO on the Southside of Chicago. The average person wouldn't believe how many person with a gun calls, person with a knife, shotspotter...

The orientation is basically you dressing up, going to HQ, meeting with the HR staff, signing new hire paperwork and getting reporting instructions for the 19 DEC class. If you did that you're just waiting to start at this point.

60630Chicago and Future-PO If I remember correctly signing your new hire paperwork at HQ on the 6th that you guys are mentioning was your orientation date. So you guys are just waiting to start. I'm assuming they gave you all of those details already.

How many of you guys were at that orientation? 10 days is plenty of time notify additional people as Future-PO mentioned about more people being added to that class. They would just add another orientation date.

You're welcome!

60630Chicago Congrats and welcome to CPD! Hopefully some of you guys hear something today and over the weekend too. Did I call that or what lol jk!

[southpaw1]

I'm going to guess that some NTRs go out today from 4-8pm. Don't be mad if I'm wrong it's just a guess lol.

[southpaw1]

Congrats to those of you that got your CPD Stars pinned on. See you on the streets this weekend!

[southpaw1]

SHU I agree. Those benefits sounds nice btw!

They're always set up in my district station trying to sell us on it. Still on the fence about it. Waiting to hear the pros/cons from other coppers who signed up. I'm always skeptical when a sales rep is soooo concerned about saving me money lol.
