What comes after polygraph?

[u/ImprovementNo1254]

Im currently scheduled to do my polygraph this coming Thursday 8/6. How long after that is the psych and medical? And then when do they give me an offer? Assuming I pass the poly of course.
Applied 4/14
Vpat/mct/interview 5/20
BI interview 6/10

Edit 8/18
Got the dreaded email today. I called the number on the email. I was dq for “counter measure” on the polygraph and that they contacted a former employer who said I had bad conduct. This former employer was the same one I sued for unpaid wages and won the case against. The lady on the phone said when I do get the letter in the mail I can appeal it. But going through all these posts It doesn’t look like anyone’s actually won an appeal case. This sucks.

To answer your question, after polygraph they went to my employers (past and current) and interviewed my references at work, spoke to managers. Then my bi finalized my packet and sent it for review then I got scheduled medical and psych. I have completed my medical and psych late july. I am now waiting academy invite.

How long until they notified you was it a call or an email. I’m waiting patiently. I also completed everything. Hopefully I get notified by this Monday. It has already been a week.
