At 8:20am on July 8, 2008, Michelle Munisteri said…: Hey! Well, Raleigh just finished hiring for the next academy to start in August and on eis about to graduate. I will let you know as soon as they are starting the hiring process again so you can pick up your application and receive your agility and written test dates. The agility test is a bit challenging so, my reccomendation is to start training for it now. I usually work at the Training Center while they are giving the test and saw first hand. We will keep in touch! P.S. Holly Springs and Fuquay Varina are neighboring towns.
