thanks everyone..

i can agree with you on small-town cops.. i currently live in dublin.. 3 hours south of atlanta ( i lived in atlanta until the age of 12).. this small town i live in.. 90% of the cops are complete dicks.. except the sheriffs.. but local PD, State Troopers, and H.E.A.T are all complete dicks.. and sadly some of them are pretty corrupt and dont follow protocol.. such as unlawful searches. Anyways i mostly corrupt on answering the questions

That is horrible to see that kind of stuff happen.. sadly it does.. from my understanding though killing of a peace officer results in the death penalty. I would say one mistake he made was pulling in front of the vechicle.. even though he was trying to box him in.. the suspect could have easily shot him then. Second, during a high speed pursuit i belive its protocol to call for backup or inform dispatch that the suspect is fleeing. Last, i would say instead of using pepper-spray the Officer should have drawn his weapon and forced the suspect out of the vechicle. Please note this is what i belive should have been done.

I appreciate the reply guys and really excited about getting the ball rolling on this career.

I have been playing this mod for about a week now.. coming from Police pursuit mod... which doesnt even compare to LCPDFR!! Anyways, reading some posts i saw where people have said they are real officers.. and i have a couple questions for you guys... Im 19 working on finishing my second semester of college with a major in Criminal Justice and plan on going to the Police Academy in Atlanta, Georgia (forget which county). How long is the police academy? Do i get paid while being in the academy? (read somewhere where you do get paid while being in the academy. think it was for State Trooper school though) What are the physical requirements? Having played football all my life i consider to be in good shape at 230lbs and 6'1 running a 40 yard dash in 5.15. How hard is the signals and code test? How many signals and codes are there? Also will i receive any benefits such as extra pay for going to college first. All replys are greatly appreciated! any extra advice you can give would nice too!! I aslo plan on calling my local department and doing a ride-a-long.
