You have just made it rise all the way to the top. <br /><br />Thanks for posting your experience!Joelle Charbonneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608552691748018256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011399615565681742.post-90991599919864962102011-04-14T10:26:09.496-04:002011-04-14T10:26:09.496-04:00Tracey - I was certainly sweating bullets, so to s...Tracey - I was certainly sweating bullets, so to speak. I thought 12 weeks was good. There were a couple of less-than-thrilling nights (the department's org chart and the information systems come to mind), but the other nights more than made up for it.<br /><br />Terry - I think you'll agree--ride-alongs are absolutely fascinating, on so many levels. I need to schedule another one.Alan Orloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695574442723430347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011399615565681742.post-25042690126351920152011-04-14T10:01:08.047-04:002011-04-14T10:01:08.047-04:00I did the Civilian Police Academy in Orlando, and ...I did the Civilian Police Academy in Orlando, and also enjoyed a ride along (and I was also left in the car --with instructions to keep the doors locked) while the deputy took his shotgun from the trunk and went into an apartment complex on a call. Nothing "exciting" happened. He came back and said, "the call said he had a gun. I went in with a bigger gun."<br /><br />I've put in my request for a ridealong here in the back of beyond now that we live in the boonies. Should be a great comparison.<br /><br />Terry<br /><a href="http://terryodell.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Terry's Place</a><br /><a href="http://www.terryodell.com" rel="nofollow">Romance with a Twist--of Mystery</a>Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011399615565681742.post-89486084328414936842011-04-14T06:13:17.308-04:002011-04-14T06:13:17.308-04:00Hi Alan,

I bet those we're the longest minutes of your life! <br /><br />Did you find 12 weeks of classes too much, or did the officers do a good job of keeping the content engaging for 3 months?<br /><br />TraceyTracey Devlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893860773314837424noreply@blogger.com
