Hopkinsville PD

Hello-

I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about this dept. How is the academy? Is it a love in academy? How long and where is it? Is this a good department to work for?

Any info would be appreciated. My husband will be getting stationed at campbell in the spring so I am looking at depts around there. Any other recommendations would be appreciated too!

Thanks!

Dont know anything about the dept at all but general rules for KY are If you dont get hired by Louisville, Lexington or KSP you would be going to the state wide academy (DOCJT) in Richmond,KY. It is currently 18 weeks long, I heard its getting expanded to 22 weeks soon. It is live in only but you get to go home on the weekends. Ive been told the docjt academy is more like a college atmosphere and low stress. I would reccomend Bowling Green PD, its an hour or so away from Campbell. They have around 100 officers and pay for all of your equipment and have take home cars .
