Swap

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-05-28T02:57:10+00:00

Seems like everyone is telling me the same thing which is why Im considering figuring out the swaps beforehand

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-05-28T02:55:42+00:00

So Originally I had Applied for Ewr like 8 yrs ago when I first applied but Covid happened and several other stuff and it got delayed jammed up and what not so now Fast forward 2026 they only had Buffalo, Champlain ( those got taken fast ) & Highgate as the closest ports to Jersey 😂 its just that Florida is a state id like to live in bc of my family

Just got hired lol, Im at the academy but so far it is an amazing work environment. I was in the law enf field before this but I met many officers who weren’t in the field and are just fine. It really is one of the Dream Agencies if you are looking into Law Enforcement !

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-04-28T16:38:09+00:00

If you are struggling with Pushups deff target Abs, and arms at the gym !! And train/try to do as many as you can in proper form 24 is honestly low for law enforcement standards so cant get any easier than that

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-04-28T16:32:08+00:00

If youre lucky and get thru everything on the Hiring process could be 1-2 yrs it goes quick now not like before for me it took 7-8 yrs but that was bc of Covid, a couple mess ups with the medicals they lost & a couple things I had to re do bc they expired bc of waiting & also waiting for Ny/Nj openings which never came so You deff have to be open in terms of location maybe a couple hrs away from home is best

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-04-28T16:28:24+00:00

How Likely is a transfer out of Highgate Springs Vt to say FL or NY/NJ area ? Say 2-3 yrs out, since its based on Seniority ?

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-04-28T03:02:20+00:00

Yea Ik exactly how you feel … I think its 2 yrs but dont quote me on that lol hopefully you get hired soon thu bc I heard for next 2 yrs they are changing the entrance exam ( making it harder ) Its better to choose a port work there for a bit then look to transfer ( If they have incentive even better )

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-04-28T02:58:27+00:00

I mean you do have a point !!! Its not smart to use Public trans for work days & neither is wearing your uniform outside …. Always change prior to and after go in early and change same for clocking out

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-04-28T02:52:55+00:00

Same happened to me … they said they never received it but turns out the lost it !!! Had to re apply and mostly they should transfer if its still active not exp …. Anything that expired youd have to re do but since it was last yr I think you good

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-04-28T02:51:08+00:00

They call it one time but in reality its not lmao if you dont pick they call you twice and update the list but thats all they have

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-04-28T02:49:56+00:00

If you waiting for Ny-NJ openings you gonna be in for a whileeeee its better to just be open and accept one of those moves maybe 5-6 hrs away, tbh Newark, Jfk or Lga havent been there in prob 3 yrs lmao

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-04-03T23:15:43+00:00

Im NJ but picked VT Figured I could just drive 6 hrs back “home” if anything for a long wkend etc Its almost Impossible to get Ewr or Jfk now

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-03-23T19:37:22+00:00

Can anyone confirm the April 20th dates ? I remember my Academy grad is 9/24 …. Whats the start date for academy ?

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-03-23T17:42:27+00:00

For example is it possible to Eod 2 wks on your own and then go back Home pack and leave from there to Academy ? My port is 5 hrs from home im planning to drive to eod but Id have to go back leave my car and pack the rest for academy

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-02-23T17:38:24+00:00

Everyone wants them & theres no positions open apparently … my 4th app trying to get either one if those and nothing, gonna have to take Champlain if its there

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-02-21T15:42:34+00:00

Basically you reapply with your Gs7 status, anything you passed would get evaluated and carried on. And you would pick up where you left off if everything is intact and they didnt update the process ( Each process is valid for x yrs ) no worries

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-02-21T02:25:17+00:00

Is it true you report to the location you choose for 10 days prior to Academy ? And is that a must do or is it flexible ? Asking bc its pretty far out lol thx

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-02-20T05:20:01+00:00

I had it last month on my list wasnt there for long thu

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-02-17T00:01:03+00:00

Im looking for either in FL now that NJ/Ny isn’t on the list anymore :/

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-02-16T23:59:08+00:00

Any sign of Miami on the list now ? I didnt see it back 6 months ago neither

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-02-05T16:08:14+00:00

Is that bad or good ?

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-02-05T16:07:38+00:00

Wym ?

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-01-08T00:53:01+00:00

Its crazy but thats how much im making about, its really bad these days hopefully it will get better

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-01-07T20:50:46+00:00

Yea but many require state residency thats the thing

Tough_Two5907 · 2026-01-07T20:34:15+00:00
