Southern MD Police Academy

[waldo5252]

I am in the final two steps of the hiring process for the Calvert County Sheriffs Department (psychological and medical). If I pass both then I will be starting the academy April 12th. Has anyone recently been through the academy or know what I can expect from it? Is their a timed run (if so what are the standards) What other types if physical standards must be completed to graduate? What can I expect academically (how many test, papers, projects? Any advice to make this 26 week program as painless as possible or any NOT to do! Thanks in advance!
