Like many others posting on this forum, I am an aspiring law enforcement officer. I currently have three applications active. My question pertains to the starting date. I am guessing it varies by department, but on average, how long was it from the date that you were offered a job that you starting working/the academy. There is an academy starting on the 5th and the 11th of next month and I am hoping/expecting either an offertory phone call or rejection letter this week or next. Thanks |
| You can expect to get hired when you get your head out your bunghole buddy! I heard you're a real gun nut and that won't cut it when the day comes that you have to grab guns from helpless citizens. You should not apply to New Orleans or NYC or Chicago or any other gun-hating police departments. In fact, you would be better off tracking down illegals in Arizona on your own time bub. |
 To the original poster....it varies from department to department. Some hire quickly and some take months. For my department from application to hire is usually a few months....if we have any openings. |
EHOLUB: Your IM is not allowing incoming. One and only warning. DO not post in BOS again. No one else respond to this post. Art in KY Mod- BOS. EDIT AND UPDATE: These 2 guys are friends, and according to the original poster, EHOLUB is on the job. Disregard. Hay, EHOUB, maybe next time let the rest of us know your joking

County of ~130, my experience... Started Testing Process --> Conditional Offer = 8 months Conditional Offer --> Official Job Offer = 2 weeks Official Job Offer --> Starting Date = 1 week Starting Date --> Academy = Depending on when academy is held, in my case: 1.5 months Obviously each department will be different... I'll be graduating from the academy almost exactly a year to the date I turned in my application. |
