    I'm never going to win

    This may be premature, but I had an oral board last evening for a Reserve slot, and I'm thinking I blew that one too. I've noticed some things about other oral boards, and prepared myself for questions surrounding Laws of Arrest, Use of Force, and Search and Seizure. I wasn't asked one...

    South Bay Regional (Evergreen) Academy looking for Airsoft Glocks.

    I'm putting this out there, and if it gets enough interest I'd be willing to coordinate it. Anyway, my alma mater is looking to expand their Airsoft inventory and make training a little more realistic. So if one wanted to donate something they don't use any more this is what they are looking...

    Loaded mags in separate locked box from firearm OK?

    Yes, I know, it's a repeat question. I'm asking it again. Scenario: 1) Mags loaded and in a locked box with no firearms. 2) Firearms in locked box with no mags or ammo. 3) Both locked boxes next to each other in the trunk during transport. If this isn't OK let me know the PC please. I'm...

    The ammo situation is impossible.

    So I finally get to a point where I can buy myself a 1911 and I had to drive 50 miles to a place that had 45 ACP. To make things worse I reload (you would think that would make things easy for me). So needed a die set, and a bullet mould in 45 (I have the base plate and everything else), and I...

    I rolled the dice and TIED.

    Starting Monday I walk among the employed. I’ve basically lost in my bid for a LE career track. However, the irony is I’ve landed the best financial gig I’ve ever had. It is the culmination of all my experience and education. In a few years I will have made back all the costs and lost income I...

    Police Agency exams never fail to surprise me.

    The agency shall remain nameless, but I’m scheduled to take the entrance exam and the entire examination process consists of a singular essay which candidates are only given 15 minuets to complete. So for the first time, my drive to the test will take longer than the test itself. Yep, that’s...

    POST Control Number?????

    On my academy certificate I have a POST control number. Is that the credential serial number that will now follow me for life? If I put that on an application in the section specified for licenses and certificates will they know what I am talking about? Oh, is anyone else annoyed by those...

    Good Bye to the Academy.

    Well, the next four days are it. This Sunday was the last of our remediations and the remaining 24 of us all made it. Tomorrow is a cumulative LD final, but nothing I expect anyone will even remotely come close to failing. It’s been an interesting carnival ride. I will say that. I’m not being...

    Things are getting sentimental at the academy now.

    So now today Defensive Tactics is out of the way. As well, we had our last range day today which was a BBQ and shoot what you brung. So basically, everyone tried to shoot ANYTHING but their SIDEARM (since we have an inspection tomorrow). I'm really happy because I don't need to clean my firearm...

    Uniform Pants (how high?)

    It looks like I will have to have my dry cleaner do my pants and sew on my patches. It appears to me that the pants need to be just above the shoe and below the ankle. Basically, it needs to not touch the shoe. Correct? There is no explination for the Academy and I am going off what I'm...

    What do reserve officers do?

    What do reserve officers do? What kind of time commitment is required of them? I’ve fallen out of another agency’s selection process and my name now resides on the trash can list called the “hiring pool” through Feb 2009. I’m basically anticipating I will fund myself though the South Bay...
