It Begins!

The application gathering phase of our process is officially over.  We have collected an impressive pool of pre-applications and now the real fun begins.  We will begin the screening process and be in contact with eligible applicants in the next couple of weeks.  Concrete dates will be available soon and we will be preparing for all of your arrival in Richmond to participate in this extremely rewarding process. 

As for the physical standards, these are being set by a committee and will be posted or sent to you all very soon.  In general you should expect to participate in a combination of general fitness exercises( running, sit-ups, push-ups, etc.) and job-related exercises as described on the website link above. 

I would like to take this time to wish you all the best of luck and we are all looking forward to meeting you. 

See you soon.

The Process

We are drawing near the end of our application gathering process and there is much to do. 

To answer some of your questions.  Yes, once I receive and process your pre-application you will receive an email stating it has been processed.  Upon submission, there is an automatic response generated.  Apparently that email is blank.  Don't worry about that one, when I enter your application you will receive a response from me with a PDF attachment.

In reference to the testing process, we are going to do everything in our power to set one weekend for both physical and written assessments to take place.  Those dates are still not set.  We will notify you all very soon of any documentation we are lacking with reference to your applications.  The process will move fast after the dates are set, so get ready! 

We are looking forward to meeting all of you very soon!
