Is it live in (ie with dorms?) If so is it optional or required to live there? If there is none, what areas would you recommend near the academy or mass transit to hunt for an apartment?

Now to answer your question- You can find housing in L.A. not far from the academy( try forrent.com)but a cheap one bd 1ba will run about $1,000 to $1,200 in "okay" parts of West L.A.,Westchester and the So.Bay areas(avg 5- miles from the academy).Most people tha are interested in the job tend to have lived in the city or visited it several times before.If you're interested,come on out(but bring a car or get a cheap rental) and checkout these spots - www.LASD.org , www.LAPDonline.org , http://www.laxpd.com,

DOA cop- I have no problem whatsoever with being a LEO in a big city with a ghetto enviroment, and I would prefer such an enviroment (at least right now while im fairly young) I think you got that impression from my post about miami, I was not knocking the idea of being a cop in miami, I was letting someone understand that miami is not like it is on CSI Miami or Nip Tuck. The person was from up north and wanted to know about the city, having never been there.
I have lots of family in SoCal and always loved visiting, and I am just exploring my options right now. I want to move out of FL, and I understand that miami and LA might seem pretty comparable, but I lived down south for a few years, and I have no problem with the city, I just want a different change of pace.
I am not dead set on anything right now, I still have a year left of school, but I am just weighing my options.

The academy is not live in. You can probably find a temporary place and then move in with a classmate. Rent is high here in LA though.
There are 3 academies - Manchester for Academics, Davis and EP for tactics. Depending on where you live they will send you to either Davis or EP.There are no angels to testify to crimes committed in hell.

I would suggest living in either Burbank or Glendale, with an emphasis on Burbank. Burbank is near a few major freeways and it's right in the middle of the two current academies that recruits go to, Westchester and Granada Hills. I've heard that in the near future, they are going to open up Elysian Park to recruit classes also. In that case, Burbank is near there too. (Elysian Park is also where ALL graduations are.)
You can find a one bedroom for like DOAcop mentioned, between $1000 - 1300 a month. I've got a buddy who just graduated the LAPD Academy and lives in Burbank. He took my advice on living in Burbank and thought that traveling to both academies was easy from there.
It's also a pretty nice small city to live in; little crime, lots of new stores and restaurants, theaters, a big mall, etc...

Originally posted by Floridaboy View PostI noticed you all are talking about multiple academy locations, if you go on with the dept, do you pick which one you attend, or is it just the closest one or random?
You go to all three, which is why I was saying Burbank is in the middle of each of them and would be very convenient.
Most of Westchester Academy is academics and PT. Granada Hills is tactics, shooting, and driver training. Elysian Park is classroom and tactics. (Berlioz, correct me if I'm wrong about Elysian Park.)

Thats pretty much it. EP and Davis do the same training, its just the classes are so huge that they give us the honor of training at EP. I dont know about EVOC, if thats just at davis, as Im not at that point. I couldnt imagine LAPD letting us do simulated pursuits on public streets...It may go back down to 2 academies though, since there has been talk of reducing class sizes, due to inefficiency. How the selection work is everybody will attend ARTC (near LAX) and if you are in Orange, SB, Riverside, or otherwise far from LA, you will go to EP. All others will attend Davis. You do get to make a wish list, though. Davis has state of the art trainging facilities. EP has history and brass floating around (we ran into the chief while getting into formation).LAPD

P.S.
When your fourth dp in the academy comes around make sure you go to the Saturday SD remediation. It helps a lot.There are no angels to testify to crimes committed in hell.
