Bring everything they asked for. I brought a pen and paper to take notes of further instructions. I brought along my copies of my documents that I felt I needed. Dress nice. Just follow the instructions you have already. Be honest and you won't have to remember anything. Good Luck.

Hey Sport Biker, When did they call you for your initial interview? Question for DW, YM or SnowDog: Do they assign out backgrounds in order of completeness of the PHS or by QAP score? I got a 95 on my QAP and my packet was pristine, I even bought a report writing template to do it, but I still haven't gotten a call. I had my QAP on Aug 17th in Valley. Hand delivered my PHS to Div. on Aug 28th.

It'll just take some time to get to you. No news is good news here. Have any of your references received letters yet ?

chico.medic: My husband got his call from his BI to schedule their initial meeting about 6 weeks after hand-delivering his PHS. Like you, he scored a 95, and even bought the lettering template! After his initial interview, he completed all other parts of the process within the next 6 weeks (with the SMALL, rather unrealistic, possibility of making the September academy). Now he's working out like crazy as we wait to hear about the December academy. Best of luck to you.

Nope.

My husband also went all over looking for one (office supply stores, school supply stores, stationary shops, etc.), and he ended up finding one at the local community college bookstore. If there's a police academy near you, that may be a good place to find one (our local community college has one).

How did your meeting go?

Neither... It is essentially random -- based on geography more than anything else.
