of course you will. confidently incorrect is literally your job title.

dude the reason you were doing 50 hour weeks of class time in academy is because the timespace continuum allowed it. Feel free to shout from the rooftops that you went to a pretend college, but lmk how spending 15 hours a week on schooling in undergrad goes. Why don't you pick a really dumb useless major like fine art where you can't skip the nonlecture time. 😂

Thanks for your service sir for sitting through your academy training.

Seeing as how I’ve gone to college and done an academy, I can speak to both.

If you put in 36 hours of school work into your week during your sophomore year of college, you had a hard time at school.

And seeing as how the academy was none stop from 6:00am until 4:00pm every day with 5 minute breaks every hour between courses, I do believe a college student could obtain a degree in their major, minus the required courses the universities make you take, in a year.

Big difference between a lackadaisical “Short Stories 101” where there’s maybe 30 minutes of actual true instruction and criminal procedure being taught for 55 minutes by an AAG.

I’ll die on this hill.

no. just no. not at all. you're talking about contact hours. I'm talking bachelors. the reason 12 is a full load is it's expected to be 36 hours of work. above that and you're pushing into 45 and heavy loads.

Postgrad can be more. but 3 hours of expected work is normal and no quite often you've got multiple hours of labs that aren't counted as contact hours since they aren't.

wtf? you really are a cop and you really do believe that undergrads are 4 years that people could have just done in a few months instead. 😂

Because a three credit course on average will meet three times a week for an hour long course, so your one course will be three hours of instruction per week.

If you are taking four 3 credit courses, that’s an average of 12 hours of classroom time per week.

Most 4 credit classes include your one hour of lab instruction into.

As for the very high up courses, obviously there is more class work, but we’re talking bachelor degree’s, not post graduate courses.

So your average bachelor degree student is averaging those hours per week.

And here you go

clearly it was more rigorous than your bachelors... where the hell did you get it? 😄 you only did 1800 hours for your degree? what the hell did you study?!

do a quick Google of the definition of a credit hour. where the hell did you go where 1 credit hour was the same as 1 hour of education per week? Many schools are 3-4, some are 6 once including labs and expected work outside of lecture time.

Definitely one of my all time favorites. Obviously this lounge is enchanting too

I'm out all the time, I walk and bike all over providence, esp the west end and downtown. It's not ghetto. The surrounding suburbs are suburb-y just like everywhere else but Providence proper is actually very pretty. It's architecturally unique, the bike paths that run through the city and outside the city are beautiful, the bay is beautiful, there are lots of murals downtown, lots of greenery. The river is really nice during the summer, especially when there are food trucks out and food festivals. Atwells is nice also during the summer when they block off the streets and have music playing outside. It just sounds like you have only driven around and need to get out of your car more often.

I've lived a lot of places. The absolute worst parts of Providence are urban heaven compared with, say, East Colfax in Denver or south Fort Worth (both places I've briefly lived). Providence is a really nice city, but people from here often don't realize that for whatever reasons.

That’s a police & fire station, it’s not a training facility.

We already have one in Pvd, 325 Washington st

It’s all good.

Yeah so that’s about 1,000 hours or in classroom training and 500 of field training, for a total of 1,500 hours of training.

Where as a four year college is usually 12 college credits/hours per week but we can round up to 15 hours of in classroom time per week if the student is on a four year track.

15 Hours x 15 weeks per semester = 225 x 2 = 450 per year.

So your classroom time on average for a four year degree is 1,800 hours total.

1,500 hours of training in 6-8 months versus 1,800 over four years isn’t that big of a difference. Toss in that many college courses are generic fillers to make you a well rounded student versus your core major, it’s even less of a difference.

But my academy was actually 50 hours of classroom per week and 26 weeks total for a total of 1,300 hours, plus the approximate 10 hours of schoolwork at home for an additional 260 hours comes to a grand total of 1,560 hours of classroom training, followed by 500 hours of FTO for a total of 2,060 hours of training before I was allowed to be a solo cop.

Which is a lot more than my four years of education in college was so you could say my 26 week academy was more than my bachelors.

I love their tortilla (Spanish omelette)! Used to love their shakshuka, but it's been so-so the last couple times I got it - heavy on tomato paste, low on spice. The fig goat cheese sandwich is great too. And I always get a pot of the Moroccan mint tea. Mohammed is a cool dude. The hours of operation are hilariously random. They sometimes have live music - jazz, etc. - late at night. Overall, one of my favorite spots in the city

ahh my mistake, carry on.

>APD requires 23 weeks of classroom training, and an additional 12 weeks of field training. Our training includes vital areas like de-escalation techniques, mental health, community-oriented-policing, crisis intervention training as well as Civil Rights history education. This training needs space, and that’s exactly what this training center is going to offer.

All of that training is possible in any classroom or community center.

Also, wow, 35 weeks. What a rigorous training program.

I was referring to the protests in Georgia, and the weak stupidity here.

I’ve investigated so many SA cases that I don’t even remember singular ones anymore.

Pretty hard to prosecute but my conviction rate was in the 80’s.

I hope you aren't assigned to investigate victims of sexual assault. They won't get justice if you are on the case with your "rad skillz".

lmao crazy riot right here

Maybe the cops should just stop showing up to reports of crime, clearly the purple haired they/them know how to police, let them handle it.

I think a Public Safety complex for police, fire and EMS can train independently and cross train is a great asset.

I think that’s something RI should have.

The independent autopsy said he was sitting cross legged with his hands in the air. But you guys never lie, right? Lol. You're a clown

In what? Criminal procedure? Or court of public opinion.

Because criminal procedure, where I am trained, says he’s innocent of all crimes he has not yet been charged with and will remain not guilty until he has a trial that determines he is.

Public opinion? I couldn’t care less to even dabble in it.

The unarmed kid who was found with a gun that ballistics showed shot at the cop? The same gun he had purchased in September of 2020?

Odd…. Thought he was unarmed

Aren't you the guy who thinks Chris D'Elia is innocent? Clearly you need more training

Didn't you goofballs shoot an unarmed protestor 13 times while their hands were up in Atlanta? There's no amount of training that can redeem you or your fraternity of thugs.
