Hi everyone. I took my written test last month and did my first interview. I was wondering what the average wait time is for the next step.

It all depends on your station and who's handling your process, but it should be within a couple of weeks. You'll be starting the background process by filling out a long application.

No, if you've already done that then you're ahead of the game. May take a couple of months to get your background done depending on how busy they are.

Scott,
Do you know how long the background is once you have taken the poly? I believe the next step is to go out and talk to my neighbors and wife. After that step, what is next? Thanks!

[Scott]

It really varies, but usually your poly is on the tail end of the investigation. So hopefully not too much longer.

SO its a waiting game now. One of the deps that is at the department I applied for told me I just need to wait for the background det to contact me.
