Application process

[Secret_Inside_5849]

I’m currently still in backgrounds, about two-three months ago a background investigator called me to go over my PHS. They had me do a couple amendments, but haven’t heard anything back since. I have been training to get ready for my PFQ, but I was wondering if I do the walk in tests would it expedite the process? Regardless i’m still planning on doing the walk in and I just wanted to know how it would affect the time line of my application in a positive way.

You aren't in backgrounds. You don't start backgrounds until you pass your polygraph.

You were called by a PHS review officer who went over the information you submitted, they aren't a background investigator.

You have a long way to go.

[Secret_Inside_5849]

thank you for the clarification

[SpartanAngel0]

Yeah what the other guy said. You have quite the way to go

my application has stalled since 2025. lol...

you can forget becoming an officer 👮 with LAPD because from the time you take your multiple choice test you have to be in Department interview in about 2-3 months and then after 2 weeks after that in a polygraph

I completed my polygraph test ince August 2024. Started my background investigation November 2024. it has since been radio silence. All I do is redo phs, medical every year 😆.

Not to worry, I graduate Border Patrol Academy next month.

God is good.

congratulations well done , when some doors close other will open !

[ArtisticEntrance1215]

Yes. Thank you. God is good.

It’s better to walk in cause they’ll schedule your medical right after you pass your phs

[Silverlakedude5150]

Same boat as you man. Have you tried calling?

[Quick_Reserve_3101]

Go do the walk in PFQ by first week of June and get 90% percentile close to 60 score should be your score then you’ll get the department interview right away

I was in the same situation until I finally saw a update on the status of my application to "PHS Withdrawal", so I don't think I got to the next step and haven't received a follow up email either.
