Free stuff!!!

**hybrid** · 06-14-06, 09:15 PM

Alright, since I got your attention, sorry I had to do it that way, i would like to introduce myself. I'm 22 w/m from southern louisiana. I work at the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office. i spent almost 3 years in the jail and i'm just about done with the POST academy. I have one more week, then my POST test on the 26th of June. I will be going to patrol after that date, can't wait. I've wanted to be a police officer since I was a little kid and i'm glad it's finally coming through for me. I'm open to constructive criticism and advice. I've been riding along on the weekends and these guys really know their stuff. It impresses me sometimes. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to message me. Later guys, and ladies, and thanks for letting me be a part of this group.

Welcome to LEF. PM Chris2001 when you finish your POST and get fully sworn. Then you can reap all the benefits the verified section has to offer.

So you lot have to pass a test on how to mail a letter? Or does POST test mean something else??

Police Officer Standardized Training

Though I swear you should know that.

It was intended to ensure that all police officers nationwide received the same basic training, and allow an easier means of transferrence to another post cert state, unfortunately, your post cert usually doesnt mean squat when your going to another dept, let alone a dept in another state.

There was me thinking it was "Peace Officer Standards and Training". And it's not even called POST in all states. So much for standardisation.

**Radar** · 06-15-06, 05:50 AM

Depends, some call it "peace" some say "Police" You say po-TA-to I say PO-tat-O

And not all states have post, hince ohio has OPATA (correct me if I'm wrong buckeyes, it's been awhile since I lived there). My TN POST wasn't excepted, even remotely recognized by Ohio, so I came back to Memphis.

FishTail · 06-15-06, 05:51 AM

Sure as shit they won't accept any training I've done

You never can tell. Strange things happen. My state recognizes Ohio training, but Ohio doesn't recognize Tennessee. They think they're better than us.

I'm glad I stayed down here. The Job market is ten times better here than it is in Ohio.

LT, you could always come be a dispatcher!!!

My Department likes to hire dispatchers with accents or are hard to understand.
We've got one with a bad lisp, and one englishwoman, or perhaps she's an aussie. Hadn't figured out yet.

Ah yes, but we don't mingle with the dispatchers, and it's best not to piss off the one whocan ake your life nice or hell.
