Alright, ..... my cousin was currently hired to a police department about 15 minutes south of chicago. The town is not one of the best. Lots of drugs, guns, and bad people. He is only part-time for now and wants to use this as a stepping stone to further his advancement somewhere else one day soon. The thing I am curious about is his training time especially for a town that is a little worse then some others. He trained at an academy for only 5 weeks and is now already on his own. He never had an FTO and is not going to get one in the future. Is this normal? I have always seen around 10 weeks in the academy and then additional training with an FTO. I just want to find out if this is normal for most departments. Don't forget that the town is not one of the best. His first call was to some guy shooting at the police and injuring one. So I just want to get some feedback on this.
Thanks all,
Jay
