"Old" LEO Rookies?

It took a couple of months before I got the date. I turned a app in in sept my background stuuf came back in November & there wasnt a civil service test in Dec. Below is a copy & past from Metros site.

To be scheduled for a Civil Service Test date, you must submit your on-line application (link at bottom of page), then send in your supporting documentation within 10 working days.Your application and supporting documentation is reviewed and if you meet the hiring qualifications, you will receive a civil service test date within 35 - 45 days.

If they are running bi monthly test it will go quicker if not.....

Wish I were. Some may remember my motorcycle wreck? Well, I had two surgeries and we thought it would be enough. About 3 weeks in I messed it up again and had surgery #3. Just got the stitches out about 3 weeks ago.

The written test (civil service test) is scored like any school test 1-100% It is then assigned a number 1-5 based on that score. The agility test is timed and then assigned a number 1-5 based. They total the two and you are ranked 1-10. You have to score a combined of at least 6 to move on IIRC. It is the same thing as ranking GPA in high school.

The boards/panel reviews are the last thing they will do before hiring and you will never see those people. They review the files and each person and thumb up/down the candidate. If everyone thumbs up your good, one down your out. All that after 12 mo.

plus the CVSA lie detector.

Well, the way the academy is it is all or nothing. I have to reapply and get scheduled again for another session. They had a guy in Session 58 who was 3 weeks from graduation and missed 3 days in the hospital with food poisoning. The 3 days happened to be range days and he couldn't make them up. Had to reapply and start all over. It's tough, but that's the way it is.

Yeah I forgot about that thing!
