So in 2017 I did the local combined cities FD and PD Citizens Academy.
The DUI night was interesting. Learned a lot that night, like the eyes never lie.
Being up on the 110 foot ladder in the FD was a sight to see.

That’s awesome, @BJP! The Citizen’s Academy in the city I was living in was the first time I ever shot pistols. The first was a Glock - I was terrible! The Sergeant offered to let me use his Sig… it’s been love ever since.
Has anyone else done the Citizen’s Academy?
I played bad guy during “swat training”. I shot my best friend’s mom! LOL
I’m dating myself here but once upon a time you could in many states become a police officer by simply volunteer to do so and get approved by the department head.
I was thinking very hard of making LE a career and spent six months working as a volunteer officer following a year of Police Explorers in NM.
I got a better offer from Uncle Sam and decided to go that way but it was very educational.
