Question for the LEOs on POST academy and hiring

[Ronin13]

Call Anita at POST and talk with her she is a wealth of information.

I think I might just have to do that- I would love to pick her brain and find out as much as possible.

A lot of departments do group buys and get price breaks, but I can't disagree with you, also I know more deputies who have had back problems then haven't so remember to strengthen your back, bad backs make you miserable!

And once you get on somewhere try not to get a Sgt. that does the tough mudder stuff, he/she is not really trying to kill you, I think...LOL I love my Sgt. I would go to hell and back for him but somehow he talked me into next years mudder, all I wanted to do was get into great shape for Bow Season, I guess I got a bonus.

I've wanted to do tough mudder for about 2 years now. I don't think I'll be able to get on with a couple of buddies when they do it again, as 2 of them are former Rangers and both play top level men's league hockey.

I've always used Adamson for all of my gear in Frederick. I try to avoid Neve's whenever possible. Don't go too pricey on the gear at first. Any legitimate agency you get hired on with will provide with you a full gear setup on the department's dime. Colorado Springs even purchases the firearms for their guys because they mandate that they carry M&P 9's.

Really? I didn't know that. I'm hoping whatever department I get on will have some leeway on the sidearm deal, as I've grown quite fond of my Sig, and am pretty proficient with it... ya know, for being a 9mm. Que the 9mm vs .40 vs .45 argument in 3... 2... 1...
