Doesn't seem that there will be a January BMOC Class. But, I just received an email from an instructor at KSA (people who publish the Patrol Guide and the KSA Guide For Patrol Supervisors as well as study courses) Just wanted to share this information, hope you find it useful. Here is the email:
Dear KSA Students & Subscribers:
I've received a number of requests for informaiton regarding the schedule for promotion exams in all ranks. The following are tentative dates for those exams:
Sergeants - June 2012
Lieutenants - October 2011
Captains - March 2012
The next promotion date is scheduled for February 2011. I don't know the numbers but there should be promotions in all 3 ranks.
KSA will provide Home Study courses for all exams after the official announcements are made. We will also provide 2 live classes for each exam, as follows:
1. Dress rehearsal test containing 100 technical knowledge questions & a complete In-Basket.
2. Marathon Class (9 hours), covering all the critical topics.
We are also working on an on-line quizzer that should be ready for the upcoming exams.
The next update for our Guides will be in January. All of our books can be purchased in digital format. These digial books are updated throughout the year, as new Interim Orders & Revision Notices are published.

Dear Santa:
Please give us the number of people that will be promoted by then so we don't have spend $600 and devote countless hours our lives to studying for nothing.

I heard the April class wasn't gonna happen.

I got doled recently and I asked the cop who shaved my legs if they had word on the next academy class, figuring they might have some insight since they would have to prepare for mass testing. He said that was supposed to be a large class going in January but due to fiscal concerns it is now scheduled for April or June.

Latest word I'm hearing is a chance of a small February bmoc class and a class in July. Thats it. 2012 they will start promoting more again.

if what you hear is from Little Bobbito thats got to be TRUE, otherwise not so reliable.

So whats the odds of a February class? Can anyone confirm? B&B is really starting to suck and I need that "lil ummh" to get me over the hump.
zoo-master said
Jan 13, 2011
Still hearing somewhere around 75 for February!!
ThEPuNiShEr said
Jan 14, 2011
Anyone know approx when this Feb class might be?
Lawny said
Jan 14, 2011
If promotion is set for February 25, then the class should start Monday January 31. I will keep you folks posted as next week approaches.
Blockhead said
Jan 14, 2011
I spoke to uniform promotions today. They did not confirm anything to me. However they seamed to want to make sure I was cleared asap. So my GUESS is either they are just real helpful or they are preparing for a class soon.
Lawny said
Jan 14, 2011
They Usually scheduled a lecture with the SBA weeks in advance I'll let you folks know as soon as they do so.
fodx said
Jan 14, 2011
Ok so a Lt's exam this October? Im around 500 on this list, so I have no idea if I'll even be able to take this if Im not promoted by then. But I cant NOT study because what if I jus tmake it??? That sucks!!! I might study for nothing!!
HousingDude said
Jan 14, 2011
fodx, a lot of us are facing that dilemma. Just play it by ear. If you are over 200 names away by the time they announce it (around May)...just be aware that they had the slow down around that time last year, and perhaps they may stop promotions again. You have until around June before you would have to fully commit to studying. See how it goes. Read casually for now.

Hey Lawny..thanks for the responce. Just based on the previous 4 classes they seem to now promote in the 3rd week of BMOC then graduation the 4th wk. So assuming thats the case then the actual class would prob start on Feb.7, promotions on Feb.25 and graduation on Mar.4
If your right and they start Jan.31 then we can expect a Finest by Jan.26 if my guess is right then Finest will prob be Feb.2
Thanks again for the info....I hope one of us right!!!!!
Doc22 said
Jan 15, 2011
Can anyone predict the next 75 names are gonna be? I probaly wont make this class but was wonderin how close I will be for the next.

You are 100 percent right I will go with your prediction rather I forgot the three weeks rule. I know promotion ha been scheduled for February 25. Also whoever is getting promoted espect to be notify for phase one for January 25 or the 26 those are the available dates we just received.

HousingDude said

ron dean said

HousingDude said
Jan 15, 2011
Ron Dean....I am actually a little after you. Don't fret...not everyone got it from the '08 list. Means nothing.
unborn said
Jan 15, 2011
The notification comes as a 49 to your CO. It's possible it's sitting in a pile on your CO's desk.
king said
Jan 15, 2011
I AM AROUND 150 BUT I DID NOT GET NOTIFICATION YET? IS ANY ONE CONFIRM THAT NOTIFICATION BEEN SENT OUT OR ITS JUST RUMOR?
BertMan said
Jan 15, 2011

Doc22 said
Jan 16, 2011
WTF? I am 280ish and I didnt get a notification. So does it come from the finest or a 49?
Double 7s said
Jan 16, 2011
I wasn't notified last time around, so I called Uniform Promotions. They told me that I should have been notified, and faxed notification to Roll Call for me. If I were you, I would call them.
Doc22 said
Jan 16, 2011
ok I will call them on monday. Can you give me the number?
Doc22 said
Jan 16, 2011
Just wondering, when did you get it? Would it have come today?

I remember last year when they started this 5 phase Bmoc some were saying this was only for 5 -6 year guys could this be the reason for some not getting notified?
ccrbsucks said
Jan 16, 2011
I have over 6 and got the notification a few days ago..
Doc22 said
Jan 16, 2011
I also have over six and as far as I know, I havent recieved any notification. I am RDO today, I guess I will see tomarow.
5Traffic said
Jan 16, 2011
i dont know.
5Traffic said
Jan 16, 2011
Another question. I know it may be silly, but what if you caught some virus (flu season) and you really feel like you need to stay home for few days just to cure it. If you call sick (admin or regular), would it possibly reflect your promotion? I would rather call sick now and treat the sickness right than get really sick in february and skip the BMOC. What do you guys think?

If you get sick, you get sick. I don't think anything would hold you up from promotion. You need CED training - if you miss it, you can still graduate but you can't go on patrol until you get the training.

Jan 16, 2011
unborn is right... unless u have mono you'll b fine.. plus if your referring to right this instant you still would have two weeks to beat it before the 31st

nothing serious...kid brought some bs virus from the pre-k. i just want to avoid getting worse before BMOC. thank you.
