I wanted to see if anyone could help me out? I dont know what I should do. I would like to get a job with either the Fargo Police Department or the West Fargo Police Department but I'm not sure what is the right way to go about getting hire there? As of right now I have 28 college credit but I am sign up to go through the Police Academy in North Dakota this upcoming summer. Would I better off to finish my two year degree(which I could do in the next year) or go through the Police Academy? Please any help would be great!! Thank you so much!!

To the best of my knowledge neither department will put anyone through the academy, so you have to do that on your own. And I believe both departments require at least 60 credits. Best advice, since I don't work there or even on that side of the state, contact their recruiters.

Even better advice, go someplace where it's warmer........
Be weary of bug-eyed criminals or the sadistic, silent partners in crime they associate with.

Ouch Sarge... Very ouch.
It should be called Brainerd... Since that's where it was filmed AND set.
You mean that tropical paradise named SOUTH DAKOTA?
