I won't be turning 21 til this time next year, however he did tell me that they would send me to the R/I academy while I'm waiting to turn 21. I filled out an application I believe on Jan. 2nd, and was told they would run everything and give me a call. I was just wondering if, considering it's been almost a month and a half, I should give them a call and inquire about my status. I would also like to let them know that I would be willing to volunteer to do anything possible at the department, so I can become familiar with the department and the officers before I could be hired. I just do not want to sound like a pain, but also do not want them to think that I am not that interested. Thank you for any opinions you all may have!
