    WHY NOT ENQUIRE DIRECT WITH THE FORCE INSTEAD OF ASKING ON HERE-YOU MAY GET A SILLY ANSWER ON HERE-NEXT QUESTION

    investigative journalism, because it brings you to fresh out report in crimes, scandals in society leads to be investigated or top politician involving to bribery to win a contract or sensational cases with the involment with top high ranking official soooo ….. you become a highly police official someday but don’t abuse your position when your in the service.

    you can not get in a police academt ran by a department unless they have hired you first. to get a private academy you will have to call them and ask what is needed

    Most police academies are their own entities… so they run separate from others.. and have different entrance requirements.

    Contact the police academy you want to go to and have them mail you an entrance packet.. or have someone there pick one up for you and send it to you. That way you’ll know.

    As for whether any of your military training will count toward your police officer certification.. probably not. I know, I know… you’ll be better trained than most… but state laws require that each police academy cadet receive a minimum number of hours of THEIR STATE APPROVED TRAINING PROGRAM… so there’s probably no way out of that one. Just suck it up and listen carefully… During your career, you’ll be held legally responsible for anything you do that is outside of the approved Academy training.

    Finally… and I’m not trying to be mean… but you need to work on your spelling skills. THE first thing departmental recruiters look at when reviewing graduating cadets (to hire them) is their report-writing skills. They like to know how good you are with the tactical stuff… or what a great people person you are.. or how great you can drive a car or disarm a bomb… But if you can’t spell well enough to write a report that won’t make you and the department look bad on the witness stand, they won’t hire you.. no matter how good the other stuff is.
