Some folks are starting to get emails. I was hoping to see you post good news when I opened this thread.

 

[keiths34]

Trust me, im wanting to!! lol

 

[keiths34]

still waiting for an email

 

[keiths34]

Any idea roughly how many were left after completing the final PFT?

 

[VUPDblue]

Unofficially I heard around the campfire that there were a little over a hundred that took the final PFT.

So far, no one from the forums has received an email.

 

[VUPDblue]

Well I know there are some who have received notification somehow. I have heard from 3 or 4 folks that they got word they made it.

 

[keiths34]

Yeah theres been a few that said their friends received word..

The 10th class will be starting in October so you won't have too long to wait. Sorry you didn't get in the 9th, but keep the positive attitude and hopefully it will work out for you.

I wonder if they are going to take more than 30 for the 10th class then..

I would like to hope so, but you never know until it actually happens. Things can changes at any time.

 

[WestSider]

Hope you can get in the 10th class with us. I guess my only selfish fear is that they take the remainder of you guys for the 10th class and give us the snub until next year.

 

[VUPDblue]

you guys can hypothesize and theorize all day but ultimately, it's anybody's guess

 

[WestSider]

According to this article the 10th class has been shaved down from 30 to 20 recruits... Going to be a pretty small class.

IMPD adds first recruitment class since 2011

 

[WestSider]

Seems the official 10th process is now 22... Not many spots for the number of people applying.

Well this coming Wednesday will mark 4 weeks since my oral board.. Keith, have you guys heard anything on whether they are taking some of you guys for the 10th? Did it take this long to hear back after the interview?

Not trying to start a pissing match...but can anyone tell me how much affirmative action plays into hiring of new officers?

I could not help but notice the bulk of the new hires were african american, hispanic or female......is IMPD bound by affirmative action or are they free to hire those who are best qualified, regardless of race or sex?

I don't mean this to take away from anyone.....I am sure there are qualified people of all ages, race and sex. I am just thinking about how hard it must be for just a normal Joe and how that could be disheartening and cause us to lose some of the best people because they give up hope.

We are not "bound" by affirmative action but they were clear about hiring based on demographics. However, without be more involved in the process, I have no idea if these 58 are the BEST the process had to offer. I do know that we have some very good recruits and some real knuckleheads. Time will tell if the knuckleheads will be allowed to get weeded out if they do not improve. After this first week, we have not lost anyone, that's kind of rare. This doesn't take into account the fact the 60 job offers went out but only 58 took the job.
