What is the name of your state? South Dakota (sd)
My wife applied for the local police force in May of 2004. She took the test and passed, took another test in June and passed, had an interview in August and passed. We found out September 5th that we're expecting. At the time we found out, she was approx 4-5 weeks along.
She just received a letter dated October 14th that states that she's been offered a conditional job offer contingent on her passing 3 tests. Health Physical, Psych Eval, and a criminal background check. The psych and criminal checks are no brainers for her, she's bever been in trouble and is super smart. The physical is what worries me. Since she applied not pregnant, and wasn't pregnant for almost 4 months while they interviewed and tested, but was pregnant when they offered her the job, the following questions I pose to you:
Does she need to tell the city that she's pregnant if she passes the next 3 tests and they tell her they want her to start training?
She needs to go to 12 weeks of 'police academy' to become an officer, she can't do this while pregnant as it's a quasi-boot camp type of place. If the city offers her a final job offer and she accepts, does she have to tell them she's pregnant?
Do they have to let her have the baby, then go to training?
Please give me some input on how we should proceed as I'm fairly certain she'll be offered a job. She has a BS in criminal justice and is qualified and probably won't have a tough time applying again once the baby is born next year, so it's not a huge issue, but one I'd like to know where we stand on if she gets an offer.
Thank you for you time!
