How did you find the academic portion

[@alaalfa8839]

Dr. Joe Dispenza's week-long seminars are fun.....but it's not about the academy, but about changing your mindset to experience blissful happiness and fun. But they do also physical exercises to move forward with inner mental blocks. You learn stuff that you partially knew because of your intuition....but at the same time you forgot them because of society, but you also learn new techniques.

[@cheezet100fyi]

I graduate from the academy in 2 weeks. I finished all my serious tests and a few tips I can give for people applying or already waiting for a start date is DO NOT GO LATE. Make a checklist on what to bring everyday, it's better to overpack then not have a certain something for that day, because let me tell you that day will not be fun for you. Try your best to understand the courses, it's boring, but it's going to make you a better cop in the long run. Take everything with a grain of salt, there's going to be a lot of yelling and sometimes you will feel like you're the only one being picked at, they want to stress you out as much as possible, everything is a game in there and you have to remember that. If you can't handle it in a stress simulation where you are as safe as possible you have a rude awakening when you have to handle these situations on the field. It's a military environment so study your commands, the first day is rough, but the more you do it the more you start being more confident. STUDY YOUR CODES for your city/county. Everything else is basically common sense, don't drink or do stupid shit during your academy or even after. It's a life change, be a responsible human being and know the career you're choosing. Lastly, Be humble and make friends. GOODLUCK!

[@hipal2271]

My academy experience for day 1 went down like this. We were instructed to arrive in workout clothing. They checked us in at the gate in our vehicles. Assigned us a parking spot and then told to stand by our vehicles. Then we were formed into squads on these blue lines. This whole experience the instructors were nice and pleasant. After we were formed into squads then nice went away and it was like we were being punished just for showing up. To make it worse. I personally knew 2 instructors from back when I was growing up. I had a target on my back the whole academy just because they new me. We would check in Sunday evenings by 10:00 pm and we had to stay on campus until Friday evening. For tests, I had an overall academic score of 94.7 and was still not in the top 20 of my class.

Because it is. Hiring process takes 4-6 months just to get sponsored into academy. Then 3 -6 months of in the field training

The hiring process is the hard part. Boot camp is harder in my opinion and “A” school which is the military training after boot camp.

[@RoverTheDog1]

The hiring process for being a cop and the tests during training are harder than the military. The physical fitness aspect is harder in the military and they will generally push you more physically (at least in the Marine Corps) unless it's state police academies which are generally on par with the military in terms of physical fitness.

[@bobbillings]

My first memory was the instructors coming in wearing camo bdu's, academy polo shirts, and campaign hats yelling and forming us into lines then groups. Then more yelling as to how to address them at all times. Then running, lot's of running. Then suicides. The main thing I learned in 17 weeks, above all, is to never call a magazine for a weapon a "clip" . Omg, the few times early on if myself, or anyone called a magazine anything other than a magazine, the whole class had to drop and do 50 pushups for that one persons' mistake, which was usually mine. The pain of getting a faceful of freeze +P pepper and tear gas combo, or even Red man, pale in comparison to making a mistake and everyone already worn out have to drop and do 50 because of something you did wrong. The academy was very hard the first few months, and I still loved every minute of it and proud I made it thru everything.

[@Pr0jectATLAS]

Learn to learn, reading and rereading for the sake of reading is one of the most inefficient ways to study. Read to understand, use the first principles rule. If you can’t explain it to a 5 year old, or a lay person, then you truly don’t understand it. And do active recall, test yourself, make flash cards and used space repetition to recall the information from memory without using the book, that way your brain actively has to work to retrieve the information, therefore putting it in your long term memory. Rereading for hours on end is a waste of time, learn to learn it’ll serve you well. I excelled through emt, paramedic school, and the fire academy by doing this while working a full time electrician job trust me it works. Not saying don’t read the textbook, but gather key points, make flash cards, then actively test yourself from memory. Break down the information to where you can explain it in your own words. Studying should take some effort, if it feels to easy and passive you’re not actually learning anything

I don't think they'll allow me into the academy. I have a ticket in my history (within 3 years) for failure to control. I was the only person involved. I totaled my car. I wasn't drunk, or high. Just really stressed out from work and evening classes at the time for a career I didn't want to be in. (Electrical trades) I was going too fast for the conditions (snow and ice), slid and took out a sign, and slammed into a utility pole. Thankfully not snapping it, just shifted it a bit (yes in the ground). So I didn't have to pay for pole replacement. Unfortunetly still tripped the poles fuse (I think?) as 8 or so homes lost power because of me. When I saw people coming out I was getting ready to be yelled at. Wrong prep. They were nice, caring, and more concerned about my safety more than their house being without power. None the less I kept apologizing repeatedly, feeling terrible that I killed the power cause of my stupid actions. There was a curve in the road to go around something I forget what. Wasn't far from home. Was on a very familiar back street I was more than used to driving down. You would've thought I would've known to slow down. But all I could think about was snow blowing the drive way. I know I went into a lot of detail but I did that so (Whoever) responds (if you decide to) knows the extent of my accident and whether or not you think my local academy will allow me in. On their website they said a clean record of 3 years. I don't drink. So that's a plus I guess. Don't do illicit drugs, I do have prescriptions however. Don't smoke either. One thing I neglected to mention earlier, my air bag had deployed. I only had a minor wrist burn. I got lucky. I still think my guardian angel was watching over me.

I start the academy next month. I am pretty excited. Very random question, do you think I'd have enough time/energy on the Saturdays to go on ski day trips? I figure since I'm already gonna be waking up early everyday it would be that difficult to do. I ask because I purchased a season pass last year and don't want it to go to waste lol.

[@muny_man]

How’s the academy?

[@Gunluver1]

did u make it

[@Fart2Toots]

Would it be a good idea to get one of these (or both) textbooks ahead of time and start studying? If so which ones would you recommend

[@nicholaspreston9586]

Silly question: Can I expect to see the K9s? :D I work well with dogsitting, so I'd be interested in working with the K9s.

[@PolishGypski]

If I wanted to listen to someone complain for 20 minutes I would have called my mom.

[@timthayer4140]

Am I able to get those books before going to the academy? I have 3 years left on my military contract and want to be extremely prepared

[@jg3_75]

11:02 what cop is blocking a knife lol? You try to stab a cop you’re getting shot

[@Justthatofficer]

true; however, I have seen several incidents where blocking would be faster then drawing the firearm, at least to create distance. Yes you will most likely get cut, but rather that then stabbed in the wrong spot. Just a situation no one ever wants to be in.

[@truesaiyan8310]

Do you know of we can buy thoes books in advance? Just to get the ball rolling before the academy because im a bad test taker.

[@Justthatofficer]

You should be able to purchase them from the college book store.

[@drewsmithson2569]

Is there a place where we can get our hands on thoes books or a set of books you would suggest to know a little something befor we go in?

[@Justthatofficer]

Check your local college book store

[@drewsmithson2569]

Thank you.

[@truesaiyan8310]

Do you know who the author is for both books

[@coreyfuell6207]

First off, thank you for so much detail. My question for you is. How do I stay leveled on a day that has the physical, written, and oral?

[@Justthatofficer]

Wow all in one day? Okay drink A LOT of water and eat clean, protein shakes, cliff bars in between. This should help keep your energy levels up and stay focused.

[@coreyfuell6207]

Yeah...this Saturday. Excited and nervous.

[@JDM-914]

​@@coreyfuell6207 how did it go? Hopefully well.

[@coreyfuell6207]

@Jacob Menard Still going at it. Riverside just denied me this morning. I still have Orange and Corona coming, mid March.

[@JDM-914]

@@coreyfuell6207 good luck :)

[@Juice1990s]

What advice can one give who has a learning curve

[@CO_page]

I was a correctional officer. Idk if that's the same thing

[@everythingsports4581]

Do you get full salary in the academy?

[@albinosh4dow]

Depends on if you’re sponsored by an agency or not.

[@icykarla0915]

Can you tell me what are these two books you study with and the link if you have it ?

[@PeterReid1993]

About to discharge from the Army. Sounds like the academy is BCT-lite when it comes to stress inoculation. Waaaayyyy more knowledge though.

[@RIDGELAKE101]

Hey I like your patch wall bassass man. Do you have a P.O box for us to send you some

[@Justthatofficer]

Thanks! Unfortunately I don’t at the moment, but I need to get one.

[@RealisticalGaming]

Ahh yes I remember spray day. Not fun at all 😅

[@Physicsenthusiast]

How long was the plank though?

[@Justthatofficer]

Can’t remember exactly but it felt like forever lol

[@fatormadeddeh8501]

Did you guys take take weekly or once’s a month

[@TheMikeDropped]

I have two fractured fingers currently from sparring . Academy starts may 31st. Should I request a later academy so my fingers can heal? Currently I can operate normally but I am unsure about hand to hand combat.

[@Justthatofficer]

Honestly that’s up to you. You should be doing a lot of push up, pull ups and such and then getting into DT moves. Usually it starts off slow then the pace increases so if you think you will heal quickly go for it but if not there is no shame in waiting so you don’t have any issues.

[@justindreyer]

Do you lift weights and eat meat?

[@roysarabia9861]

any more tips for the academic portion and how to study, and how long should I study for?

[@Justthatofficer]

Read read read whenever you have a chance get that reading in.

[@truesaiyan8310]

Do they test you in anything oitside of these books and how hard was your final test?

[@Justthatofficer]

No they should all be from topics covered in the book. The final test isn’t more difficult than any of the others. Everything is broke up into sections.

[@Chris-xj5me]

Do they specifically teach how to violate your oath and fellow citizens

[@shaplandtraining663]

Does having my EMT-B help at all??

[@Justthatofficer]

Of course; it can’t hurt.
