Sometimes I think that then other times I think I would have been bored. Yeah, more than likely bored. It's the "good" runs that make this job.

True.
Please pardon my ignorance, but tell me, what is a "good" run ?????
I'm in the process for Fishers too. Passed the PFT, have written test next weekend. IMPD was the first department I applied to (back in February) and my thought process through all of this was they would be my first choice if they do in fact pick me. However, obviously it would be nice to get multiple offers and get to chose which one I want. Back when I did the written test for Carmel I remember the head recruiter talking about how they had some of the best equipment, pay, and benefits of any department in the state. Of course, Hamilton Co. isn't the cheapest place to live either
Wondering this too.. Would be nice if they could push it to at least 30 spots. With me turning 35 in October, I am really hoping I get picked for this class.

I have no idea. I'm an FTO and I'm in the dark as well.
Same to you, thanks!
Catching criminals in progress...burglars, robbers, carjackers, rapists, murders....catching the worst of the worst. It gives you a unique perspective on life in general that cannot be duplicated.
For anyone interested, Avon is testing this weekend (PFT and written), today is last day to register on their website. According to their FB page they have 2 open spots..
Still in waiting with IMPD (background phase).
I have my oral interview with Fishers PD next week. Still waiting to hear back on whether I passed the orals with Speedway and Carmel.

BUT, there is a something to be said for working for a large city department. Maybe not in the PD world, but the fire world there is. If I were to tell someone out of town I worked for warren twp fire department you typically get a "oh".... but when you say the Indianapolis fire department, there is almost a level of respect (maybe not the right word) given by default.
Yes, I was thinking about applying for Reserve now that I am semi-retired but with my back problem I doubt I could "Hack" it.

Big city firemen are heroes, big city cops are *******s. At least that is the public perception.
Ah gotcha, Sounds like it'll be cut close on this class as well.
Fixed that for you.
Update.... Will be going to update my polygraph on Friday morning being that they are only good for 6 months. No other info was given as to how many applicants they are looking to accept into the academy or how many are left. Good luck to all.
