Essex County sent out emails today giving notice to those candidates who scored high enough to make it to the physical scheduled for Saturday, September 8, 2018.

I was blown away by how few candidates there were for this academy. Between people who went to different academies, withdrew from the process for other reasons, didn't show up with a doctor's note, or failed the physical, there were only 24 or 25 of us left at the end of the day. The director said there were 16 slots for each class, so it looks like as long as no one screws the pooch or gets screwed by the psych, everyone should be in the academy by this summer.

Even if they were only filling slots for January (and they said this list was valid for all of 2019), non-military would still have an 11 in 20 chance (55%) of getting a slot in the academy. Much better than Monmouth's 3 in 2000, Bergan's 12 in 30, or Camden's 12 in 25.

I was personally appreciative that they stopped candidates once they reached the required number of sit ups and push ups. Nothing like feeling like you have to do 60 only to get the same "credit" as the guy next to you who barely squeezed out half that. I wish more processes would do the cardio events first; it helps having full stamina for the endurance events at the beginning of the day.

Has anyone heard anything past background investigations? Or a time frame for the beginning of the next phase ?

Yes, I got my rejection email today. Good luck to everyone else.

Same with me, I found it odd that I was removed from the list as well.
