What to study for preparation?

[BiteThePullet]

What would be the best material to study for preparation to enter a CA Academy? LD's, caselaw, 10/11-codes, PC/CVC/WI/B&I/etc, patrol procedures (via ridealong). Am I missing anything?

What would be the best way to pass a CA Academy?

Hey pullet, check your email. .

How can you even consider the academy when you haven't even purchased a used Crown Vic Police Interceptor and put AT LEAST 20,000 miles on it yet?!?!? Don't put the cart before the horse bud.

I'll bet he hasn't even bought a light package either

Excusssseeee ya'll


I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Po-leece wannabe school, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on the donut store, and I have over 300 confirmed calories eaten per second. I am trained in gorilla soda machine refilling and I’m the top shot in the entire carnival game circuit. I wear my duty belt to sleep, with my earpiece in ready to respond to any training incident at the drop of a hat. My POV is the ultimate in undercover technology, outfitted with only the most premium red & blue LEDs with jenky wiring, sure to start a fire THAT I WILL THEN RESPOND TOO.

Don't pre-study. You will have all the information provided to you in a structured manner. Work on your writing and PT skills. That's it.

I have not steered you wrong yet.

I’ve witnessed pullet standing uniform formation paying respect to a fallen officer (LODD). I have spoken to officers who know him; pullet is bright respectful clean cut young man with an aptitude for law enforcement. I don’t foresee an academy problem…unless his celibacy syndrome becomes an issue.

On a serious note, take it from me - PT, PT, and more PT!! PT until PT is the easiest part of your day. Get in the best shape of your life. If you have any nagging injuries - take care of them now before they become big injuries later in the academy.

Also practice ironing and shining boots. I wish someone would have told me that one.

I'm PTing as much as possible. My running is still ****, but I am building muscle.

I have shining boots down to a science, and free next-day dry cleaning through my dept

That's good. Definitely get that running down to a good 3-5 miles at a 10 mph pace minimum. You'll be thankful you did. Running SUCKS. It was and still is hell for me. BUT, putting in the effort ahead of time will pay off in the academy. I DREADED running.

I am in the exact same situation. 10mph? Damn......I'm on it

Sorry, meant 10 MINUTES per mile pace. It's about 6 mph on the treadmill.

Really? "3-5 miles at a 10 mph pace minimum" -- let's please look at your "minimum" -- that is 3 miles in 18 minutes -- that's a much faster pace than is required to pass the test.

Not everyone should try for 2 miles in 12 minutes (10 mph) -- the 1.5 mile test requirement is just under 12 minutes (Cooper test 1.5 mi 11:58 for a 20-29 year old male -- 8 mph puts you at 1.5 mi in 11:15), and training to run it in 9 minutes (1.5 mi @ 10 mph), if that's not already easy for you, because of your exceptional talent or fitness, is hard on your heart.

It's probably better to do some cogently designed (maybe some variety of walk-sprint-run-rest-walk-run-sprint-walk) routine that fits your safety and fitness specifics and lets you achieve and exceed your goals.

I agree with the idea of training with the 3-5 mi distances, but not at 10 mph -- maybe varied speed closer to the required appx 8 mph average -- here's a link in re prepping for the 1.5 mi test: http://www.premeditatedfitness.com/t...n-cooper-test/
