    Default Started my first day at the police academy!

    Not going to say which one for privacy sake... But yeah, had my first day at the police academy. I was not sponsered so over the next few weeks/month I will be dropping applications all over the place like crazy! Anybody have any suggestions? I am willing to relocate! The program I am in seems to be extremely well structured, and I can not wait to dig into the material! I feel fortunate after meeting the fellow cadets that I seem to be 1 or 2 steps ahead of everybody else already in the knowledge I have brought in from previous experience in security work, and picking the brains of all my cop buddies over the past 5 or 6 years! I just gotta keep an open mind and use this time to soak up ALL the info I can! Hooray!!!

    Ill be sure to keep ya posted!

    Like the instructor today said, "I know the academy frowns on off color jokes and comments, so if anything I say today offends you, get the **** out! Find a nice office job."

    Nah, I am feeling really good about this, my head is up high, and allthough I am coming in with a ton of experience and knowledge, im playing it day by day, acting like I dont know a thing walking in there, but am more than willing to make sure nobody else falls behind if they do not grasp a subject 100%!

    Relocate within the state, or out of state? TONS of opportunity in So-Cal, and i mean always hiring.

    Good luck, and stick it out!

    Cost of living is so high in So-Cal though.

    Good luck at the academy!
