Silver Blade 56 May 5, 2014 Author Share May 5, 2014 How long did it take you to become a police officer and what requirements did you need to become one? First, like the doctor who logo. It took me 4 years of collage, 2 for a police academy, 3 months to get a physical exam, and cpr certification, and 1month for my application to be accepted. It took an additional 3 to join the LAPD, (I was a park ranger, then a state trooper, then a cop) and 3 years to get my K-9, and sgt,1st class rank. I needed a physical test, a (bachelor's) degree in criminal justice, a hole crap ton of tests, a 2 year training course, and to be pepper sprayed, and taserd. Oh, and I needed to take a polygraph test. (a polygraph is a "lie detector", its not very acurate, eather:)). What is the hardest part of being a police officer?Domestic violence cases, because they are so sad. also, I could die just because I pulled someone over for speeding. 2 Have a pleasant day, Officer Devin Lewis.

Silver Blade 56 July 6, 2014 Author Share July 6, 2014 (edited) The remarks about guns are actually kind of surprising - some reports of life as a patrol officer tend to suggest that they rarely ever need to draw their firearm. I suppose it probably depends quite a lot on the city in question. Indeed, LA is one of the worst (Crime wise) city in America. Also, me being a K-9 unit, I get a lot of calls dealing with armed individuals. Also, police often (when they feel its needed) take the gun out to scare a suspect, usually if the suspect is non compliant , or they fell threaten in any way. (I can't speak for all officers, but I do know a lot about such things, and have read many a police report that involved the officer drawing his gun at some point, and my friends from college who became officers in other states tell similar story's.)Sorry it took so long to reply, but I had to support a friend trough hard times. Have a good day, or night, or dawn, or dusk, or twilight (lol, twilight XD) or whatever you got. - Devin Lewis -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding my last post, I posted something similar a while ago, and forgot, sorry Edited July 6, 2014 by Silver Blade Have a pleasant day, Officer Devin Lewis.
