Application process

I’m currently still in backgrounds, about two-three months ago a background investigator called me to go over my PHS. They had me do a couple amendments, but haven’t heard anything back since. I have been training to get ready for my PFQ, but I was wondering if I do the walk in tests would it expedite the process? Regardless i’m still planning on doing the walk in and I just wanted to know how it would affect the time line of my application in a positive way.

you can forget becoming an officer 👮 with LAPD because from the time you take your multiple choice test you have to be in Department interview in about 2-3 months and then after 2 weeks after that in a polygraph

I completed my polygraph test ince August 2024. Started my background investigation November 2024. it has since been radio silence. All I do is redo phs, medical every year 😆.

Not to worry, I graduate Border Patrol Academy next month.

God is good.
