Correctomeudo- G22

Where are you in the app process?

I've got a buddy that's a Metro cop. In uniform, they carry a G22. When he was undercover he carried a G23. Metro uses Winchester 165 gr. +p Rangers.

The cops I've talked to and seen at Church have SIG P 220's.

i just called the recruiter today and am doing my app and getting paperwork together this weekend.

how does the academy work? do they run multiple classes? or one after the other? whats the realistic hiring time? 4-6 months?

So wait... are you Law Enforcement now, or are you applying to be? And if the latter, why the LEO icon in your user profile if you aren't currently?

Well, the economy has a lot of people that wouldn't normally be looking at LE work applying, so already slow process is going even slower these days.

Your probably looking at more like 6months to a year.

After they process your app, you could be looking at several months before getting a test date.

They typically run 2 or 3 academies a year, dependent on need. There are no solid start dates for the academy (ex: the Oct 09 class has been pushed to Nov 09).

MNPD's academy is long compared to a lot of depts, but it is extremely thorough. The best part? You WILL get paid will training. It isn't a live in academy, so you DO get to go home every night.

It's my understanding that some guys are still carrying the Berettas they were issued way back when.
