Phoenix PD

[TPDHellhound]

Do any of you guys have any insight on Phoenix PD or what it is like to live in Arizona? I am from Minnesota and am considering testing with them.

Phoenix is a fun place. It's a bit warm, but you get used to it. The other 3 seasons are gorgeous!!!! It's 65 and sunny most of the winter! You have snow and beaches only 4 hours away, so there's plenty to do outside of the city too.

Sorry, have no information on ALEA.

There are several academies in the area. Mesa has their own with other agencies attending it as well. ALEA obviously does the same. I do not know if any other agency attends MCSO's, but I would assume they do to reduce the cost of running it.

I am not sure what you are looking for with your question regarding how they get along. I have never heard of anyone fighting over who had the better uniform, if that is what you mean. Could you elaborate?

I was just interested if departments fought about what policies would be the official policy taught, because there are many agencies at ALEA that come from different cities and the highway.

Should not be an issue: an agency would not send a trainee to an academy if they had a problem with the coursework. You would learn the basics at the academy and be finished off during the FTO period at your agency.

Sampras2,

I hope you aren't trying to follow Denny Green! He was canned you know.

Good luck with the rest of your process.

Hopefully I won't pull a Dennis Green in the hiring process. That wouldn't be good.
