Just pick a department you think you will like, go to their website and see what they require. If you meet the minimum requirements apply. Then wait and see.

I would also check out the organizations that certify law enforcement in those states and learn their minimum standards.

Here you must YIELD to any traffic in the road way from any private driveway. We also have laws about blocking the roadway and improper stopping in roadway.
Parallel parking is legal if it's safe to do so and done right. If you hit another vehicle while backing in you'll likely be at fault....

That's not officer discretion. That's what their investigation, based on facts and circumstances, that lead to their determination that driver one or two was at fault. Officer discretion is if he or she decides to issue citations.


Based on our laws I can't think of any...

Egos may have played a role in it but I would expect better from another LEO, even former LEOs.

So you joined the forum just to post in a ~11 year old thread?

Easily!

Understand that different states have different laws and cities will have their own ordinances. Officer went there for the music. Officer was getting info for a report. The subject played stupid games. Subject won stupid prizes.


I had a loud music call once that...

I hate the online courses! Especially the new style classes. I would rather sit in a classroom.

Advance report writing sounds boring enough but if I had take take it online.......

When I worked there I heard of COs taking a cross over course. Have you looked into something like that? Can't remember if DOC paid for it or the officer....

[westside popo]

That only applies to the public intoxication law there. What we don't know is if the guy was charged under state laws or city ordinances.

Even if one of the charges don't float that doesn't mean the others are invalid and the arrest is improper....

[westside popo]

That's not a bad idea. They use to have a cross over course and would let COs take that course while working at the prison. Can't remember if FDC paid for it or the officer. But it may help the OP get his foot in the door....

The only one I recall was at Ft Hood when I was a MP in the 90s.

It was at the 13th COSCOM barracks, nicknamed the "Jungle" due to all the crazy stuff that happened there.

Someone ordered a pizza and when the driver showed up they kicked his ass and stole the pizza....

[westside popo]

From what I read on this forum you may get more points for tickets than you do felony arrests?...

[westside popo]

Haven't taken that class but depending on how filled up the class is you may be able to call and get in. Sometimes they take people who show up to class even if it's full.

The last class I took up was filled up. I called ahead and was able to get on the roster. They had so many extras...

I don't know AR's laws but after watching the video (more like listening to it) it looks like their disorderly conduct laws are similar to ours.

The guy didn't get arrested for failing to give his phone number! The profanity around the children and or fighting words, as in our disorderly...

[westside popo]

Let's say.... you should look for another line of work.

Good luck and hope everything works out for you....

[westside popo]

You're assuming you will get selected the first time. By the way law enforcement is real work experience! Nobody is going to care if you dropped out. And it doesn't look like you're mature enough if you have to ask questions like this.

Good luck with what ever you eventually decide....

Two weeks is about the standard down my way. But I did work for department that gave us 120 hours every year. If you didn't take all of it by December 31st you lost it. You rolled over any sick time you earned. Investigators didn't get as much vacation time.

My last department you earned...

[westside popo]

Report yourself and the 50 other officers working shift with you and take a long lunch.

Put them on every road except the one you're working.
Seriously though I don't see the harm in it.
