Flint academy is "supposed" to start in 2 weeks....

[cjstuden11]

I was just wondering if anyone can give me any input here. I applied for the Flint PD back in November for the February academy. I passed my written, physical, and oral board. I met with a Sgt. to complete my background, he said it was "due" Jan 29th. It's now February 9th and I haven't heard anything, I'm reeeallly starting to wonder. When I talked to him I saw two other applicants come in and out in about 20 mins, we sat and generally "bs'd" for about 3 hrs. I thought things went really well, and he said he saw no problems. He told me that it's not uncommon for them to call and do your chief's interview/medical/psych in only one or two days. He advised me that I should be prepared to be "hurried through" in order to start in Feb.

My question is, is this uncommon, how long of a notice is normal? Also I'm wondering if I've been passed over and they just didn't tell me I'm out, do they usually let you know if you're out?

Thanks guys

I had less than one weeks notice to report to the academy.

I guess that's good to hear then, I suppose I'll just continue to hurry up and wait. Thanks for the info Valor!

Do you think it's ok to call my BI and ask if everything's ok and just see what's up. He told me I could call him if I had any questions.

Absolutely, just don't be annoying.

The waiting game is mind numbing, I just left the Sgt. that did my BI a message on his voice mail at the station. He was a really nice guy, hopefully I'll get some info.
