Bowtech_archer07 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Sorry it took so long for the update. I went to Rantoul on Thursday at 10 am. I sat with a Lieutenant for 2 hours and at the end of it he offered to give me a tour of the police department. I took it and really liked what I saw. Then we went back to his office and he told me a little bit about PTI (Police Training Institute) and what the process will be from here. He said that if I pass the background check he will type everything up and pass it along to the chief. If the chief approves then I will get passed on to the board of fire and police commissioners. If they approve a conditional offer of employment is the next step. The offer is conditional based on the completion of a physical and psych test. After this he offered to set me up on a ride along for Thursday afternoon which of course I accepted. I got to see the city a little bit and meet a couple of the officers within the department. So that's where I am at now. Just waiting on the results of the background check, but things really do look promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearClaw Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Really hope everything works out for you there. Wanted to be policeman since I was young but my eyesight never allowed me to go in that direction. Always had the utmost respect for what they do.

Bowtech_archer07 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Well not too many skeletons for me. Couple dumb mistakes that I was very upfront about and explained the situation(s). I agree that things are looking up and promising but I still don't want to get too optimistic yet. If I get a call from the chief none of you guys will have to look on here to know I got the job, cause you will all hear me screaming like a little girl!!!
