So a combative guy on PCP.....

[southpaw1]

liquor box You're right but it was cheaper (i'm kinda broke for a PO ) and I don't like the idea of someone etching a logo into my skin with a needle hahaha

[southpaw1]

I usually rip off my top layer of clothing revealing the Superman logo that I had embroidered on all of my white tees for this very reason! Sorry I couldn't help it lol...

[southpaw1]

ChiTownDet The guy was shirtless lol

[southpaw1]

Interesting. Thanks for that info! Yeah I knew it would've been a whole different story if it was worse. We didn't have a choice to wait because the paramedics were already in a struggle with the guy. It wasn't too bad. I heard of some where you need like 6 people because of that superhuman strengt...

[southpaw1]

Yeah thanks guys everything is documented in my report and captured on my body cam so I could flag the video just in case. I'm alright though NW121 thanks I didn't want to make a big deal out of nothing so I just dusted myself off and we went on to the next call even though my uniform shirt was a lost...

[southpaw1]

Lol. My vest is demon-proof too I double-checked!

[southpaw1]

Alright, I won't keep the suspense going any further! Yeah so a combative guy on PCP bit me the other day on duty. Thankfully I pulled my hand away quick and it didn't break the skin or my gloves somehow. So to recap what happened: The call came in as a person calling for help and we get there and 2...

You're welcome.

No our Sgt told us AFTER the exam that the state had notified him that a different test was being used in the last minute so the state exam review session was a little different from what we saw on the test. 10 people failed and that hasn't happened before in previous classes. They outright told us...

Mine was pretty extensive for Chicago PD: Full physical, full vision (including ishihara test and glaucoma test), hearing test, chest x-ray, spirometry (lung capacity test), EKG (heart), bloodwork, urinalysis and I can't remember if there was anything else.

[southpaw1]

Congrats to you! Probably a huge relief. I guess my class was just dumb...only kidding! Lol.

[southpaw1]

In uniform too and on your way to an important obligation? That's just disrespectful. That's too bad. Wisconsin right? Smh jk lol. They love stopping Illinois tags crossing the border (sorry having a personal flashback). I'm only joking with that generalization. No it shouldn't be a problem...

[southpaw1]

Nevermind.

You're welcome. irobles3680

irobles3680 Congrats brother. Happy it worked out for you! Celebrate responsibly and get through the academy.

[southpaw1]

Future-PO yeah things change all the time. I'm just relaying what this person who's starting that day said. It's possible you are not in the cutoff date for that group and I don't know anything about how the appeal process works so that is probably on a different timeline. Good luck tho!

[southpaw1]

Oh okay got you StephDakel I misunderstood that comment. Yeah i don't know why it's like that. I agree Fatal you're exposed to a lot of different stuff that might take longer somewhere else. Plain and simple it's crazy out here lol. Stay safe bro!

[southpaw1]

Look I'm the first generation of my family born and raised here, I stayed in school and out of trouble and had no immediate family on CPD and got hired on my own merits. You'll feel better knowing that trust me. I got in by filling out the application, going through the process, completing all of the...

[southpaw1]

I don't believe they certify anyone. I think you need to be certified to apply (unless that's changed). My reasoning behind not recommending it as a starter PD is because you're confined to a school setting and they complicate things that don't need to be complicated. I'm a Chicago Police Officer and...
