Did you receive this email via policeapp?

No direct email which is what i though was weird since everything else was on policeapp

and you got this email yesterday? Sorry for all the questions just curious.

Yes. Its alright, no big deal

Are you 30+? Ive had academy directors straight up tell me that they prefer candidates that are younger because I have a family that relies on my income and I'll be foregoing a salary for 6 months. However, I've also had agencies that seem to appreciate my life experience. Different strokes I suppose.

22 with a good income and amount saved up in the bank. Enough to afford school and support myself through the academy

Damn. I'm in a similar spot (About ~$70k saved up specifically for housing / academy / the job hunt) but just a different age bracket. Stinks to be removed from the hiring list completely, but what can you do about it. Congratulations to those who are moving on.

me neither

I've learned that no news is good news. Better to have a chance at still being selected than being definitively rejected.

Still nothing new for anyone, other than emails sent out?
Anyone get something from policeapp yet?
