I understand that invitation cards are to be sent out under the guise of 1+2 in order to be maintain standard BPD/Civil Service protocol. If you did not receive an invitation at 285 then BPD likely have a class under 75 cadets. I hope I am wrong as I need the list to make at least 450. Maybe they will have two or three classes using this test.

Maybe since all of you got your cards, it is time to minimize your social media footprint. But what do I know? It's not like I am involved in investigations...
Looks like, next round of cards, if they ever come, will be for 95 and below. I scored 95... and there are 43 people tied with me.
If BPD sent around 250 cards out for this round.. and only take 65 recruits.... I may get a card next round or not... That is because many get that get bypassed do not get removed from the list.. so they will get the card again.... After this class things start to get even more difficult because the cadets will be factored in.... they will have their number of slots back.. meaning fewer civilians will get in.....
I assume some some of the people in the range of 95-90 will NOT have Boston residency despite claiming such status when they applied. Hopefully they can filter down at or near the 90 range so I have a shot too. I think I will need a 3rd academy class which is highly unlikely based on what I am reading on this forum. I will remain optimistic... I guess
Ironically, I received an email from Boston this afternoon.. Telling me to report to BPD HQ to sign the cert by june 16. They are looking for 65 officers... They had orientation last saturday and people have not even returned packets yet... Anyone know why they sent more cards out? Are they putting two classes on?

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

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...

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.
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.
