This will take some following.
The Opata academy has a block of instruction on felony traffic stop procedure, 2 students act as officers who are on a felony traffic stop. They use between 3-6 other students to role play as "bad guys" in a car , who are stopped by the 2 student officers. The officers are to pull the car over and one gives instructions over the PA, while the other cuffs the suspects and puts them in the back of the cruiser. There are also 2 students role playing "perimeter officers just standing behind cars at the far end of the lot in case the suspects attempt to run"
Our scenario ..
We pull the car over Im acting as primary officer, friend J is backup officer, I give the commands to get out of the car to the felons, first one gets out, and is cuffed, as im ordering the 2nd one out, an instructor told several students who were watching, to head out into the area, and role play an angry mob of bystanders who "dont want to see their friend taken to jail" . So 4 other students start to advance on us as were trying to cuff the 2nd suspect who is acting non compliant and hes a big guy. Now one of the other students playing a bystander , has another student distract one of the perimeter officers, gets the perimeter officer to chase him, while the student STEALS the perimeter officers police car she was using for cover and drives it all around the parking lot. From then on it was chaos. We got original suspect 2 cuffed, and ordered the other bystanders to the ground at gunpoint. the student who took the police car, drove up to us in it, and was stopped, I noticed a gun tucked in his wasteband, so i shot him with the simulated gun thru the drivers side window. (he was in a police car, with a shotgun , and has a gun in his wasteband) . Needless to say, the instructors were ****ed at everyone. And said my partner and i ****ed it all up. .... Well it was a ****ed up scenario. nobody else got anything even remotley close to this scenario.
So now , when a prospective employer calls, the commander (who wasnt even there) just heard the story 2nd hand ... tells them "he's a good smart guy, studied hard, but i wouldnt hire him "he Schized out" on felony traffic stops"
Like i said. Im finished trying to apply,. this is bull****. its a good old boys club. ask anyone who knows. My wife and I are going to move to florida, get a small condo. Get outta cleveland. away from ohio , where the Governer has a criminal record.
