Probationary Period

Regarding the probationary period for a newly hired police officer in a civil service community, can anyone confirm for me if the 1 year probation starts on the day you get sworn in or on the day you graduate from the academy?

Gil is correct, it is one year from when one completes the academy.

Civil Service law - Personel Administrative Rules 12 states that the probationary period after permanent original appointment to a full time civil service position and before tenured status requires six months of scheduled performance of the actual duties of such position except as otherwise provided by law.
The probationary period may be extended by the appointing authority beyond the period provided by law by the actual number of days of absence during the statuatory period; written notice of such extension shall be given to the employee prior to the expiration of the statuatory probationary period.
