How does your states police academy work?
Q. In Kentucky everyone goes through the same 18 week police academy. That is except for Lexington, Louisville and the state police. I was wondering if it was like this in other states. I heard from someone that there are some departments in some states don't require their officers to go to an academy.

A. Here in Texas if you want to be a State Trooper you go to their academy in Austin, but there are many small city Police Departments and Sheriff's Offices that train their own new officers.

What happens after you graduate from the fire academy?
Q. I want to know what happens after you finish the fire academy do they assign you to a firestation? If so what happens then? Do the Academy help you find a job?

A. Typically they do not assign you to a firestation...they will often help you locate openings or have connections that may help place you on a list for applying to a particular fire department. Having the knowlegde is a great start but you will need to apply and present yourself in a professional manner. There will often be tests and questions that each FD will want to ask you... Good luck

What is the difference in Fire Academy and taking Fire courses in college for becoming a firefighter?
Q. I'm planning on becoming a firefighter for SFFD I'm gona be going to SF city and I know they have a Fire Academy but is that something separate I have to sign up for or is it part of the fire courses they provide?
Asked by Josh E - Wed Nov 19 17:34:07 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. They are separate. The Fire Academy is about six months, give or take based on how often you meet. The course is the basic requirement that you will need to become a firefighter. It should include your FFI and FFII (or equivalent training for your state) Haz-Mat Ops, and may include an MFR certification. You have to have those certifications to become a firefighter. The college courses you are looking at apply to a degree in firefighting and are not required to become a firefighter, although they certainly increase your chances of getting a job and make you a more knowledgeable firefighter. For a degree in firefighting, you can usually go for a one year certificate program, an associates or a bachelors. Hope that helps.

If that doesn't work look around amazon.com or something similiar for recruiting videos or informational videos. I've heard of one I'd like to get called "Surviving Westpoint" made by National Geographic. Its like 6 vhs tapes long, make on 03 I believe. If either of those two don't work for you, email me.

Can I go to the police academy before applying to a department?

The department that I wish to apply to (Orlando Police Department) says that the ideal police officer is one that has a college degree, has been in the military, and/or has Florida Police Certification.

I am aware that you obviously would have to go to the city's approved police academy, but can I go to the police academy before applying?

Do you have to take the physical fitness test before or during the Philadelphia police academy?
Q. I took the philadelphia police test, and wanted to know do you take the physical fitness test before the academy or during the philadelphia police academy? Also what would they do if you are underweight?
Asked by cstockton03 - Tue Jun 19 12:19:41 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Any agency that will potentially hire you will mandate you pass a physical agility test. They will also send you in for a comprehensive physical exam. Reason? Because for you to be covered by the local pension plan, you can not have any existing pre-employment defect that would prevent you from preforming your duties and put them in a position of liability. As for underweight. You need to carb up as much as possible. Lots of fruits, pasta, rice and moderate exercise. Maybe also see your doctor and express your concerns about your weight and see if they can recommend diet supplements that are safe and effective for your needs.

Q. I took the philadelphia police test, and wanted to know do you take the physical fitness test before the academy or during the philadelphia police academy? Also what would they do if you are underweight?

A. Any agency that will potentially hire you will mandate you pass a physical agility test. They will also send you in for a comprehensive physical exam. Reason? Because for you to be covered by the local pension plan, you can not have any existing pre-employment defect that would prevent you from preforming your duties and put them in a position of liability. As for underweight. You need to carb up as much as possible. Lots of fruits, pasta, rice and moderate exercise. Maybe also see your doctor and express your concerns about your weight and see if they can recommend diet supplements that are safe and effective for your needs.

What else can you do with the police academy?
Q. My boyfriend is in the police academy, but is no longer sure he wants to be a cop. I told him he should stick it out and finish up, but he thinks he's wasting his time and money continuing. How can I encourage him to keep with it and finish the training? Is actually being a cop different from the academy? Do different cities offer different experiences of police work than the one he is familiar with? And what else can he do with that training besides just being a police officer? Is there other service work that it might prepare him for? He is willing to go back to school eventually.

A. There is a virtual myriad of options for him. I put myself through the Academy, became a Police Officer, and then left to become a Federal Agent. He could become a Criminologist, a Crime Scene Investigator, any NUMBER of things...of course, some fields will require additional training and education, but Academy training is ALWAYS a good foot in the door in ANY field of law enforcement. Without knowing him, I can only speculate that he, like most, is having a hard time dealing with the BS the instructors dish out. Let me assure you, this is only to weed out the people whose hearts aren't really in it. Tell him to stand strong, and be an understanding source of support for him. Odds are, short of getting married and having kids, this will… [cont.]
