Mini Academy

I think that's a bit harsh considering it's not a paper for a english class. It's the internet, it's not like it's really that hard to decypher, I am sure you have read worse before.

And its really not that hard to compose a properly written post.

Anyone who desires to get into LE needs to start writing properly now. Their reports will be read by many people, supervisors, attorneys, judges, etc.

Do you think that the officers in Arizona who arrested a guy by the name of Miranda thought that their report would be read by the Supreme Court? Or what about the officers in Ohio who arrested some guy named Terry?

I have never heard of a "mini-academy" and can tell you that if it does exist, it will not provide you with the MCOLES certification.

MCOLES requires a certain amount of training hours (around 16 weeks) in numerous topics, therefore, a school could not have a "mini" academy and still provide the MCOELS certification.

Well I hate to tell you but it does, since no one on here had heard of it I did some researching and it is a MCOLES certified academy. What happens is in Jan of your senior year you take the classes and what not, then in May and June If I remember right you do all the shooting, driving, and so on.

Not trying to sound like a jerk or anything like that.

Dude, what you don't seem to understand that there is nothing "mini" about it. The schedule is just a bit different. MCOLES mandates a specific amount of hours for all training, therefore, ALL police academies will meet this minimum.


So with LSSU's "mini" academy, you start in January and finish in June? Man, that is six months, nothing "mini" about that!:eek:

I was just going by what I was reading, but when I read it I did not understand it fully but now I do. There is just a different set up than the typical academy
