I got my PASS card on my medical yesterday which was a nice and a relief since I was held up as well for my asthma. Now I guess I have to wait until they finish up my background and send me for my oral psych. Im gunna try and talk to lapd backgrounds tomorrow to find out where I stand as of now in my background process. I have yet to be contacted by my BI either.

LOL, Me too. I got my pass card in the mail on Friday or Saturday. I almost threw it out thinking it was junk mail until I looked to see if it was addressed to me and saw my handwriting. I immediately turned it around and read past the "Congratulations" portion.

I guess here comes the long waiting part and I can only assume that background times vary from applicant to applicant. No problem for me, I have about 4 months to kill.

mjohns2 and R.Cefola (and anyone else),

How long was the wait between your BI contacting you and the step prior to that?

Thanks

I believe I waited about a month, maybe a month and a half.

Greetings, I'm new to the site and saw and wanted to jump in to your group with a quick question. I'm an east coast guy / prior Marine Corps background in CA. I was going to visit my brother in L.A. and saw that the LAPD offers thier writen test on a weekly basis. I planned to take the test while visiting. Can anyone give me a meter on the difficulty of the test, and if there are any specific study guides, info, ...etc. I should go over? Do I need to bring anything/documentation out of the ordinary?

Thanks for any support and good luck !!!!

go to www.joinlapd.com...take the preliminary...find out if you qualify for expedited..then call the recruiter....

From what I remember the written test was easy.

basic grammer type questions and I believe one essay style question.

[medic9338x]

its a multiple choice test which you have 1 hour to complete then 3 essay questions which you have a 1 1/2 hour to complete...
