    After nearly a month of nail biting upon submitting my application, Raleigh Police Department has called and is going to bring me in for testing :rock: According to one officer, this was their largest recruitment class ever at nearly 1,100 applicants and I've made it through the first round of eliminations. What a relief and weight off of my shoulders this is.

    I have the written exam and POPAT in early November and the polygraph a few days later. At least they gave me enough notice to get myself back in shape haha

    Good luck. Pushups, running, situps......every other day until you are pretty exhausted will get you ready.

    I'm in the same boat with Albuquerque PD. I went in for the first round of testing two weeks ago and now I'm waiting on a call from a background officer. Congrats on making it through the first round!
