Hey all, I got a conditional job offer for a police department job.. I completed all my screenings, drug test and such.. and start the academy in 3 weeks. How does the conditional job offer work? Will I get a final job offer before the academy, or will the conditional job offer be until the academy is completed? Even though we are being paid while in the academy.

Your answer is completely dependent on the department, the city/state, and their standards. After getting that far in the hiring process I would think they would have explained the "conditional" part, but it isn't surprising they didn't. Bottom line is you are going to need to get with the recruiting Sgt. if there is one available or ask someone in personnel, but here is what I had through my hiring process:
Was paid as a city employee while attending the police academy for 12 weeks, once graduated from the academy I spent 16 weeks with a FTO (Field Training Officer), then after one year was up from initial hiring and leaving for the police academy the job title went from Probationary Police Officer, to Police Officer.
I do get the impression that the "conditional" part is based on whether or not you complete and graduate from the academy, but like I said you will have to check with someone internally to fully answer your question.
You have picked a great career field, so good luck, be safe, and enjoy it!
