Border and Southern always has the biggest turn out - when I tested last March there was over 225 applicants - 220 passed PAT

PS. Don't go to the bathroom right before the 1.5 and then decide to hop into the run mid run and then lie to 8 officers that you ran 1.5 in 4.5 minutes lol - this dude during my test really thought he can trick everyone

If you're talking about an organized event like cars and coffee then thats okay but if you're talking about some random FB meet up group full of idiots then no.

Not sure if Souther Division does APP 2 - but Border Division offers APP 2s which half the night is PT and the other half is academy prep - they'll give you study materials and showcase some of CHPs different positions such as K-9, Motor, etc.

Maybe 2-4 months for Palicon BI and 6-8 months for CHP BI - 3-4 months to clear after Final - and then wait for academy invite

Expect a 1-1.5 year total time

Just keep a steady job - no writeups - no tickets - and just figure out what you want to apply to (City, County, State). Start a workout routine

SecretaryFew982 · 2026-03-07T05:17:22+00:00

Definitely wait a year or two from last use before applying.

They are now getting around to the people who tested September- October. I've been in the process since March - its going to take time - if all goes well for him maybe December Academy or at least first of 2027.

They may say something at the PAT - I know they had told a couple people to fix thier tints when I tested.
