[QUOTE="FishingCop, post: 67291, member: 133"] Got it, thanks.... The TV adds, etc., try to entice you to go through their training programs to make you qualified for a specific field such as , forensic science, K-9, investigations, juvenile, etc., etc.,. The reality is, of course, that you must first qualify and be accepted/hired by a police departmet; then work in your assigned area (basic patrol work for starters) and maybe, if you are really lucky, may get a chance to be trained in a specialty field (listed above). No one ever gets hired onto a police department and is assigned into a specialty field - ya gotta be a patrol officer first, then be promoted or assigned to a specialty area. I really get upset when I see the TV commercials enticing people to go through their training program to get into the field they are touting. Doesn't happen that way..... That being said, if you are really interested in law enforcement (and not the glamour of the TV adds or the TV shows (which are not at all realistic)... then not only will I be happy to talk with you privately about your endeavor, but I can also provide you a contact in the Fargo PD for you to contact to help you along in the process. Anything more, please PM me - enough said on this topic publically...... [/QUOTE]
