Pros

you get to meet tons of people work with police which looks good on a resume

Cons

where do I start: you get sick time but you get penalized if you take it rules are made up over night and changed the next day management is non- existent. Pay not nearly what should be raises that are promised are not rewarded

Pros

Straightforward with their expectations of you leading up and going into the academy.

Cons

There is no room for error. If you’re not in good physical condition and think you’ll improve while in the academy you’re wrong. You need to already be in good shape or they will run you ragged for it. It’s either you’re ready or you’re not and if you’re not then they will make it as miserable as possible to test you and either you quit or they fire you.
