The steps nobody explains to you.
Most departments run some version of these stages, in this order: application, written exam, physical agility test (CPAT), oral board interview, background investigation, polygraph, conditional offer, then medical and psychological exams.
You can be cut at any stage. Knowing the order matters, because you prepare for each one differently — and because strong scores early (the written and the oral board) are usually what put you high on the eligibility list.
Know the map before you start walking it.
Which stage worries you most? That’s probably the one to start prepping first.
