[QUOTE="brett636, post: 58444"] I work at the 81st street hub here in Indy, and right now our wait to become a driver is about 10-12 years. Most of that time will be part-time. We also have a hub closer to downtown indy(on 16th Street), and I have been told their wait times are shorter, about 5-6 years, but that was a while ago that I last heard that figure. Your best bet is to call HR and ask, they have a pretty good idea of what the wait is there. I am not sure on how many outside hires they have done(although the ratio is supposed to be 6 inside to 1 outside hire), but it probably wouldn't hurt to throw your app at them and see what happens. I dunno where opie gets his info about going directly into driving as I know lots of part-timers that would love to drive, but can't due to the wait. I should also mention that its probably good that your not interested in staying in law enforcement because Indianapolis just announced layoffs for fire fighters and Policemen to make room in the budget for the new Colts Stadium. If you do stay in law enforcement you may want to considering some of the outlying counties, as they have lower crime rates and aren't laying off the officers they have. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions, or just post them here and I will answer them as best I can. [/QUOTE]
