Never been through CPD's... but I can tell you what I know from a tour of the old facility on McKinley ave. I was given... From what I saw, it is an *extremely* physically intensive training academy, more so than most. I wasn't allowed to peek in the classrooms, but the physical regimens are very strict. Lots of tactical training, obstacle course work, etc. Anyone on here who knows me knows I'd never have made it, so I gave up on the CPD. Thankfully, the FCSO doesn't expect nearly as much (physically)... and that's where I will be headed. I turned down an offer there a few years ago when I learned that I'd be working Corrections in the jail for 5-8 years before I'd get out on the streets. Now, I don't care about that, or the pay cut I'd be taking - just get me the hell out of the parts business!! smile.gif
