Let me know if you want someone to work out with. I need to tighten up a little bit.
I do my Oral Review/Meet The Chief on Wednesday the 18th. I did well on the Pysical Assesment and written tests. I did the polygraph and photo/fingerprints last week. The last that I heard was that we are down to 17 candidates including myself.

I may be wrong with some of this information, but as I understand it there is no minimum for the POST academy. If there are only 2 qualified candidates then there will be a 2 man academy. I've heard that the goal is 100 new officers within a years time.

If that's the case, then I have no doubt they will take you for this academy.
And we do need officers. My squad right now has 6 officers. So, when everyone is working (which hardly happens) then we have enough officers for the desk and one for each zone. This is not enough. Our squad is supposed to carry a 12 or 13 officer roster. I know my buddy Bryan and maybe one more officer are coming to the squad at shift change. I doubt we will get any officers out of the academy that just graduated b/c we don't have any FTOs. So, when your academy is done, if you want to come work 2nd Dogs (my opinion, best district and shift in the city) then you could probably do it. (The very few people from my academy that put in letters requesting a certain squad were given it assuming that squad had vacancies).
Have they told you how the academy is going to be structured? How long the academy will be and how long the FTO phase will be?
