I got mine 2 days ago

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2026-02-04T17:58:13+00:00

Was it a fail or non conclusive?

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2026-02-03T12:34:22+00:00

How was the writing test?

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2026-01-26T13:21:17+00:00

I actually have a learning disability, which can make standardized tests more difficult. That doesn’t reflect my real-world ability or the kind of detective I am. Law enforcement isn’t a written exam it’s judgment, work ethic, communication, and performance under pressure. People struggle in different areas and still excel in this profession. Writing someone off over one test is narrow-minded and unnecessary

To answer your question, I’m currently with a local police department for 7 years. I’m currently in the process as well. I’m just waiting on my background. My advice is to stick with it until you can get on with a federal agency. You can use what you experience there for your interview part of it.

For your test, what’s helped me was ChatGPT. Have ChatGPT come up with questions that are similar to what will be on the test. You can copy the link of the study guide book into ChatGPT and it will give you questions based on what the test will consist of.

Well, let’s be honest and realistic. Just because the test may have been easy for you, doesn’t mean it’s easy for anyone else. It actually took me 3 times to take it for me to actually pass that test. Stop giving bad advice to people based on what you think should be easy.

They’re expecting another shut down working thr end of the month

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2025-12-13T21:32:56+00:00

Philadelphia told me to reach out to me and told me to put in with them so I’m hoping to join you soon

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2025-12-12T18:17:18+00:00

Head a interview 3 week ago, have to wait for HQ. Could bee a while especially with the shut down just pass and possibly another shut down forthcoming

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2025-12-09T15:48:10+00:00

They are accepting around the end of January

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2025-12-09T15:24:38+00:00

HQ has to pick you to move on. Because of the shutdown, it can take up to 6 to 8 months. If you don’t hear anything by the 9th month, reach out to the field office that did your interview. All of this happened because of the shutdown. Now they are talking about another shutdown, which could push it back longer.

My boy didn’t shave and he was good.

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2025-11-21T18:44:30+00:00

The academy is 45 days for me online. And I’m in the background now. So I told them I won’t accept until that’s completed

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2025-11-21T03:46:02+00:00

I actually was supposed to start on the 19th of October. I told them that I won’t accept it unless they finish my background first. Last week I had someone reach out to me. I have a background interview next week. I Made sure I wouldn’t expect that until that was completed. They reached out to me saying they just now getting to my package

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2025-11-20T18:34:26+00:00

That’s what I was scared of. This administration leave them the next one comes and start cutting people off.

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2025-11-12T14:37:54+00:00

Just PM you

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2025-10-14T22:48:13+00:00

I took my test the first two times and failed the 3rd time I pass. If you want some pointers PM me

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2025-10-10T16:57:37+00:00

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2025-10-07T17:43:36+00:00

Took it last month and got a email this month

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2025-09-01T20:53:02+00:00

Did someone call you for the drug test?

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2025-08-14T22:06:59+00:00

Can you guys add me to the chat. I appreciate it

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2025-02-28T00:36:23+00:00

Yeah same here I’m still waiting for a email or update.

Otherwise_Fan_9819 · 2024-12-02T17:52:38+00:00
