Next Boston Academy (New Thread All Posts)

They did this for my class too. Either there wasn't enough people the first time or the class is going to be bigger. Hopefully a bigger class and more bodies being sent to Area D

 

Whoa whoa whoa! What about area B?

 

95, it was only sent to vets, court/ civil service people and 96 before... A month later.. They sent me card.. I talked to my friend that had orientation last week.. He has not even returned packetbyet.. Maybe many people did not show up to sign card... They said they need 65... I am around 285 on civil service list.. And tied with 43 others that scored 95... so chances are low.... but, I will go sign the card and see how this plays out... hopefully BPD gets to me...

 

Things getting busy in the south end or just trying to get higher on the seniority list ?

 

The majority of the last 3 classes have ended up in B2, B3, and C11. The gang unit has more bodies than D4 and D14 combined. We get crushed with the ordering.

 

Gang unit is city wide. Each district has a DCU and theres also a citywide DCU. Mention the word gun and your sure to see the gang unit show up haha.

 

Well I wiil keep my my fingers crossed that more people fail to complete the paper work in a timely fashion. Thanks for the reply. Good luck to you in the process.

 

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has shared their knowledge and wisdom on this thread, I have been a member on MC for quite some time now, haven't posted much but have been taking in everyone's information and knowledge of the process and the job. I had the pleasure of achieving my life long goal of graduating the academy and joining the ranks last week and just wanted to say thank you to everyone all of your information has been greatly appreciated. For those who are hoping to get on and are in the process feel free to PM me for anything and hope I can help as much as everyone else on MC has helped me but a free piece of advise to start, mouth shut eyes and ears wide open for a long time. Thank you and stay safe.

 

Any news on if BPD will be pulling two classes of this current list? I can imagine many of the police vets with 25+ years are ready to jump ship with all this crap going on.

 

Id say thats a safe bet.

On another note, BFS Chief must have read my earlier posts. Area D gained like 20 bodies over the past few weeks.

 

Hell id goto A-1 I know enough people there anyway from my time as a Ranger and currently School Police.

 

Mostly academy grads. They went to 1, 2, 3, 4, and 11 this time around.

 

Does anyone know what the next step is and when it will happen? I think it's the home visits but haven't heard a word since drugtest/fingerprints

 

Same here havent heard anything. The detectives got tied up with the cadets.

 

Have your bosses/neighbors/ etc started getting calls yet? I'm in the same boat- haven't heard anything.

 

Nothing.

 

Same nothing ... When is the academy set to start? Will it be further away cause of the cadets?

 

Cadets start in Augest. I heard fall academy start date for BPD.

 

December

 

Even better.

 

December? I starting to think a second academy may not happen off this list.

 

The past 5 academies have started in December or January. They haven't even started the medical portion yet. It will happen, just slowly. They've dealt with the list expiring before, they get the people in that are currently in the process.

 

Cadets messing everything up!

 

You guys know how I feel about that lol.
