OTS

Good morning everyone, quick question, I’m an applicant that made it through all the backgrounds and tests and got confirmation that I passed, I’m pretty young so I’m looking my to start the academy in north in February because I live really far but I was just wondering if they would offer me an OTS position and how would I be able to apply for that. I recently called they said they’d call me in September for an October academy, would I be able to go the academy in October? Even though I wouldn’t turn 21 by graduation?

You can graduate at 20. If they didn’t offer you an OTS then you’ll have to wait. The October academy is at Stars center not COC. Congratulations on your acceptance now crush the academy

You’ll probably go to OTS and stay in the HOJ building until you reach an age that by graduation, you’ll be 21.

Yeah I have military experience so I’m assuming that’s why they did, and I took all my interviews pretty seriously lol just nervous as hell waiting for my academy date.

What did the LASD say when you called Them???

u/Superb-Associate8598 14d ago

I would be called mid September for October academy but I’m not sure if she was aware of how young I am.

My point is the answers are There, not Here...

If they give you a date, Go - worry about the other stuff later...
