    DH30's Police Academy Update

    I know that it has been a while since I posted an update so here it goes......I have completed 20 weeks and have 7 left. I take the state licensing exam three weeks from tomorrow. I am currently ranked #1 academically. I have been in that spot since week two and hope to stay there.

    Some of the topics that we have covered so far have been, stress management, multiculturalism, Code of Criminal Procedure, Arrest, Search & Seizure, Intoxicated Drivers, Spanish, Traffic Law, Crash Investigation, Penal Code, Force Options, Patrol Tactics, Mechanics of Arrest, Firearms, Emergency Medical Assistance, Professional Police Driving, Juvenile Issues, Report Writing, Family Violence, and the Mental Health Code. The highlights for me so far have been firearms and driving. When I was in those classes I kept thinking......."I'm getting paid to shoot guns and drive fast......it don't get much better than this".

    This program is really tough. They push us physically, mentally, and emotionally to see how we will react. So far I think that I am doing pretty well. Just seven more weeks and I will be in the FTO phase, which will be a whole new adventure in itself.

    Glad to hear you are excelling! I knew you would!

    Be sure to pay special attention in the class entitled: "How not to make arrest when someone goes to a house and steals furniture, stabs someone, kicks in their door, threatens them, etc.". It's a statewide mandated course now.

            That is what the FTO's are for.

                      WTG on the #1 so far. If you can stay in the upper part of your class for that long, the TCLEOSE test should not be that hard. Just keep studying.

                        Chew,
                        I must have missed something....I don't remember that class.

                        I'll be very glad when this is over becuase I have VERY LITTLE free time right now.

                          Thanks for the update. I know you're looking forward to finishing up. I haven't done the driving yet, but firearms was a blast. We're doing patrol tactics now and I'm enjoying that too. Not looking forward to Penal Code or CCP though!
