About How does your states police academy work

How does your states police academy work?
In Kentucky everyone goes through the same 18 week police academy. That is except for Lexington, Louisville and the state police. I was wondering if it was like this in other states. I heard from someone that there are some departments in some states don't require their officers to go to an academy.

Answer 1 :
Here in Texas if you want to be a State Trooper you go to their academy in Austin, but there are many small city Police Departments and Sheriff's Offices that train their own new officers.
Answer 2 :
Here in CA the training standards are uniform, but there are many academies with different teaching styles. Most take 6 to 9 months depending on if they are full or part time

Answer 1 :
There are a lot to choose from. We lived in North Attleboro which was nice, good family town, close to lots of shopping, etc. But that is south of Boston and you work on the north side. I've also lived in Littleton, MA which is a nice, quiet town but not too far to drive to Lexington. Anything around Littleton, MA to Concord, MA are good family towns NW of Boston. Boxboro, etc. Honestly, the best way I think would be to make a sort of vacation to the area, and instead of visiting the city, go visit all of these towns in the area to get a feel for them. But basically, the closer you get to Boston, the busier the city. Towns Like Littleton, MA and further west are really quiet and sleepy, smaller than some of the quiet midwest towns. The advantage though is that you are in close proximity to everything the bigger cities have to offer

About What parts of Baltimore are bad

What parts of Baltimore are bad?
I work on West Lexington st. In Baltimore. What areas around there should I stay away from on foot? How about Baltimore as a whole? Where are the 'bad' parts?

Answer 1 :
Every part inside the city limits! Oh, pardon me, except for where the Ravens play..........
Answer 2 :
Any area of Baltimore can be bad if you're not careful, even the "nice" areas in Canton, Fells Point, and Federal Hill where George Bush's daughter is moving. What you want to avoid is areas that aren't well lit or have vacant houses. Near where you work I would stay as close to the Bon Secours Hospital area as possible, they should have security 24 hours a day. Bad areas in Baltimore are in pockets everywhere, you don't want to wander, go directly to your car or destination whenever possible

About What kind of jobs are there in Lexington, KY

What kind of jobs are there in Lexington, KY?
I am most likely moving to Lexington, KY and I do not know what type of jobs are offered out there. I am a college student and hopefully will be starting an internship out there. I will be getting my degree in business. I currently work for Wells Fargo, and it would be easy to just work for a bank out there. Any help? Any ideas? Thanks a million. =]

Answer 1 :
Pretty much anything is possible. Computer/technology jobs are probable the least available. My husband is a CCIE. We live here but he travels all over the country for business. We do have plenty of banks, but I can't speak to the number of openings. There are several Wells Fargos in town (8 according to Google). What about getting a transfer? Or if you have to apply, would you be more marketable to them because you already know the company/system/policies/etc.? You can try the local paper for an idea of job categories and number of open positions. With bank as the keyword, it returned 48 openings. Good luck! http://www.kentucky.com/jobs
