Background check question

[RyanNC]

Hello all I applied at the Raleigh Police Department around Thanksgiving this year and passed my P.T., Polygraph, and initial interview. I recieved a call from Raleigh last week stating that a detective had been assigned to do my background along with 6 other guys. Im just struggling to get excited because I don't want to get let down. Does this sound like I am closing in on being accepted into the academy? Thank you for help.

Don't get excited just yet. Save the victory dance for after you get an actual start date.

10-4 thank you

Do you know how many spots there are to fill? Regardless, you can at least be happy you made it this far. Also, at this point, it's out of your hands. You can prepare for your interview, testing and any other phase of the process but it's too late to change your background.

Good luck.

I'm not stressed about the background im a cadet for East Lansing Police up in Michigan right now. They are hiring 60 into the academy down in Raleigh.

Based upon this statement alone (underlined), there's going to be a large majority of people on board who will tell you that your chances of passing a background investigation or slim to none. ;)

I just asked around my department after I read your comment piggy. The consensus seems to believe that If I am a hard worker, and have what it takes then the state I live in should not be relevant in whether I get the job or not.

Off topic, but since East Lansing was mentioned (and my ex who I met in Athens, GA graduated from MSU), I only have the following to say:


WHAT'S THE COMING DOWN THE TRACKS?
IT'S A MEAN MACHINE THAT'S RED AND BLACK!
AIN'T NOTHING FINER IN THE LAND,
THAN A DRUNK OBNOXIOUS GEORGIA FAN!
GO DAWGS!!!

Glory, glory to ole Georgia,
Glory, glory, to ole Georgia,

If You Don't Knowshon, then you don't knows**t.

End of rant. ;) Best of luck with Raleigh!!! You'll have to catch a Hurricanes game!

It does if half the state you are in is currently unemployed ;)

MSU fan will still come up in your background, but not hurt you nearly as much as being a Michigan fan. We'd hate to unleash the fury of University of Toledo and Appalachian State again.
