I have question regarding Police Academies, I am soon to be 33 years old and decided to follow my dream and pursue a career in Law Enforcement.
I have decided that it might be in my best interest to sponsor myself through a part-time academy at a nearby Junior College. I contacted a local police agency and talked to an Sgt who indicated that while his department has hired recruits who have put themselves through academies other departments might be reluctant to do this, why?
The academy I want to attend is a well-known P.O.S.T certified academy.
He also advised me that if I really want to be a cop I should commit to it 100% and sponsor myself through a full-time academy. As much as I would like to I can't quit my job I have monthly bills to consider, so it seems to me the part-time academy is the only option.
Any advice?
Thanks
