I am wondering if anyone has any information on what the process is like for Miami and also if any current/former officers can comment on what the department is like once you complete the academy. Thanks!

I know it's currently being run through Miami Dade college; from what I know, programs like that are often (but not always) non-military in nature. With what awaits new cops on the street there, I'd welcome the discipline and stress that comes with a para-m academy.
What does the city of Miami do with oc spray, taser, and tear gas? Does everybody experience all three in the academy?
What is FTO like?

Once in the academy you will PT EVERY DAY.... either 4 hours of ground work - running - cardio... OR 4 hours of defensive tactics. FDLE has changed back to the older style... MORE PHYSICAL MILITARY BASED TRAINING and SCENERIOS as opposed to intense academics and book reading. GOOD LUCK HOPE THIS HELPS...
FYI... if you are in the process it would be a good idea to begin learing military drill comands NOW!CITY OF MIAMI POLICE

What's up with that?However I would never spray some one. I would much rather tase them and thats it. Unless the taser fails then they'll get hit with OC. They spray us in case we backup you guys and you guys spray the prisoner and it gets on us we'll know how we are going to react to it.

Hell I'm sure I'll end up being the 1st SOB to spray myself. Practice, practice, practice! You're right about the TAZER though. I would rather drop some one with that than run the risk of over spray. Take care buddy and be safe!
