I've got a friend who works for a small department and just went through the part time academy (weekends and computer work). He has dyslexia and has difficulties understanding what he's reading. It's hard to explain because I can't really relate. He got some certification from the state that says he can have reading assistance with an official school and state tests. The academy director told him that it was BS and refused to allow any help. I think he got a 66%, so he just missed it.
What I'm looking for is some help finding some type of study guide or something for him for a retake. He went to a local college's academy and they do things a little different. It's more school-oriented (papers, homework, etc.); and I think the state test can be different material that may not have even been touched on in the classroom. I went to ISP almost 20 years ago, so some things have changed and I'm not much help.
I know there's going to be some responses saying that he just shouldn't be a cop, but this boy deserves a chance. He did his FTO with me (which shows his initiative because he didn't get paid work with me since we're a different agency) which he prior to and while was in the academy. He has done a great job and I'm proud to work with him. He hasn't struggled at all with his performance, other than occasionally needing some help with the lengthier reports, but he's ended up doing just fine on those, too.
