Gary in Sacramento, California 27 months ago	Has anyone started backgrounds in January and cleared already? Just wondering if I'm the only one still waiting to clear backgrounds.

Gary in Sacramento, California 27 months ago	Also, I forgot to ask before, can anyone tell me how they will notify me if I cleared backgrounds or not? By letter or email? - Was this comment helpful? Yes (4) / No (5) Reply - Report abuse
Dave in Los Angeles, California 27 months ago	Gary in Sacramento, California said: Also, I forgot to ask before, can anyone tell me how they will notify me if I cleared backgrounds or not? By letter or email? Hey Gary, CDCR is going to notify you by emailing stating that you have been cleared for the background process and that your status for the PEM and Oral pope is pending. After that they will call you to schedule your PEM and Oral pope....it's going to take a good two months to be clear for hire after your background depending on the situation. As for me I was the unfortunante one who has to take my written pope twice because it expire. My background take a toll. ( almost 5 months)The whole process took about a year. I'm cleared for hire and expecting an offer for June Academy. Just be pateint and good luck! - Was this comment helpful? Yes (4) / No (1) Reply - Report abuse

Good luck to you as well and I hope you get what you want out of this whole process. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No (1) Reply - Report abuse

SDE in San Diego, California 27 months ago	Has anyone else have to go in and complete a Pre-Investigatory Interview with their BI? - Was this comment helpful? Yes (3) / No (1) Reply - Report abuse
Gary in Sacramento, California 27 months ago	SDE in San Diego, California said: Has anyone else have to go in and complete a Pre-Investigatory Interview with their BI? Yes, SDE, I mean I can only speak for myself and say that I had to go through a Pre-Investigatory Interview as well but I'm pretty sure everyone has. Basically your investigator is going to bring in a tape recorder and have you verbally confirm everything you put in your PHS and BIQ. Just keep it honest is the best advice I can give you. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (4) / No (4) Reply - Report abuse

Yes, Veteran 2006 your BG investigator will notify you if some of your reference didn't mail the letters back. But at the same time it's really up to you to remind your references to send the letter to your BG investigator. The sooner the better. Just be patient and no news is good news. Once you cleared your BG (3 to 4 months) you will received an email. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No Reply - Report abuse
Patiently waiting in Sacramento, California 27 months ago	Tested in December. I completed my PAT the first week of Jan. I had my Pre Investigatory Interview about a week or so therafter. Still in BG. No word of being in the clear yet. My references have been contacted via mail and a few by phone. From what I can gather, they may be researching my employment status/history at this current time? Hard to say when we will get some definitive answers. I am Praying that the ball will get rolling in due time for the POPE and health screening. I am hopeful for June academy also. Stay Positive. Stay Patient. Stay Praying. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (3) / No Reply - Report abuse

Mr.CO2004, The mini-14 and .38 are two completly different firearms, course of fire, ect. It is very common for someone to fail or have problems with one and not the other. If you really are a CO you should know this. As for you finding it "hard to beleive" someone couldnt pass the .38. I didnt pass it in 1999 when i was at the academy. I have never FTQ(failed to qualify) with the .38 since and never looked back. When I look at my paycheck it doesnt say " could'nt pass the .38". Ike or anyone else trying to get in this profession don't ever give up. If you have to go through the academy twice to get there, then handle your business. - Was this comment helpful?

SDE in San Diego, California 27 months ago	Ike in Federal Way, Washington said: One month after our first day, so for example, we start June 27 we get paid between July 27 and 20 I believe you are paid the beginning of every month unless you accept a position as a PI, therefore you would receive your check anywhere between but no later than the 15th of every month. PERMANENT FULL-TIME APPOINTMENTS (PFT) If you accept a FT appointment, you will first be appointed as a PI while attending the BCOA. Upon graduation your time base will be changed to full time. Thereafter, you will be paid a monthly salary at the end of a pay period (each pay period is about 28 days). You will be required to account for working 40 hours per workweek or 168 hours in a 28-day work period depending on your work schedule (may include regular hours plus leave credits used, in-service training time, etc.) 2. PERMANENT INTERMITTENT APPOINTMENTS (PI) If you accept an appointment as a PI, you will be paid at an hourly rate on or about the 15th of the month. check out this link...it has a lot of useful information. www.cdcr.ca.gov/Career_Opportunities/por/docs/COAppt.pdf Hope it helps. - Was this comment helpful?

599 in kern county, California 27 months ago	spanky in Fairfield, California said: I have no shooting or gun experience at all. Will i have a problem in the academy? No, alot of cadets/new officers that have no prior firearms experience do very well. They come in with no bad(or good) habits. The range staff will show you proper technique. It might be beneficial to put a few rounds from the .38 down range, just to get a feel for the trigger. I would'nt mess with the mini-14 unless someone that knows how to shoot rifles can help you out. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (2) / No Reply - Report abuse

C/0 in Modesto, California 27 months ago	People, this is a serious career with serious consequences. Your partners life may depend on your marksmanship ability some day. Your freedom may be on the line some day due to your lack of firearm skills. I highly suggest that you learn how to shoot a firearm before going to the academy. I also suggest that you practice and develop this skill after the academy. Do you understand that during the course of your duty you might have to shoot and kill someone? You might have to stop an escape attempt. You might have to shoot an inmate that is beating your partner to a bloody pulp on the ground in front of your post. Marksmanship is a requirement of the job. Are you sure this is the career for you? - Was this comment helpful? Yes (4) / No Reply - Report abuse
CO n Inland Empire in fontana, California 27 months ago	C/O in Modesto, I agree with you. In addition to firearm marksmanship skills I also recommend some type of self defense. You never know when you are going to fight for your life of defend you partner. Hope that never happens but you never know, it is better to be prepare. Inmates knows who is in shape or who is not, they can smell that. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (3) / No (1) Reply - Report abuse
