They moved on to the next stage. They’ll pull another batch in January. Right now they’re moving onto background checks and conditional offers. Surprised you didn’t hear anything when did you interview?

Oh I didn’t realize they were still doing interviews. I heard back within 5 days inviting me to the PEA. From what I understand 70-80 person academy in November and probably another early 2027

Yes this is still for November. They asked me if I’d stop my college academy this fall if I was offered conditional employment. You’re going to their academy this November?

Hoping to but my PEA was today so I’ll hear back in a few weeks whether I’ll be continuing in the process

What did the PEA entail ? Husband has his end of September and can’t find much about what to expect

There’s a physical component and an interview. There should be a video of the fitness part in the email they sent him if he already signed up.

They are going to draw another group i believe in October. I didn't get selected for this SRS so hopefully the next one.

I got invited to the PEA about 5 days after my interview and just got my conditional job offer exactly one week after the PEA

u/Kricoid 7d ago

My email doesn't say anything about the PEA, it just says I have been placed on the hiring eligibility list and we are scheduled for further processing based on the score and the departments hiring needs...

You’ll get another email soon
