I applied to the CAPCOG Police Academy last month and I just heard back that I have been accepted. The academy starts in October and lasts for about 6 months, having me graduate at the end of March. After graduation I plan on finding a job in Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville , or Georgetown. I would prefer Round Rock but I will take what I can get. Just thought I would share my good news with yall, wish me luck.

The psych evaluation is the hardest part of the application process, but only because its a 3 hour multiple choice test.

OP:

Remember this rule of thumb: Warnings for all CHL's less than 25 MPH over!

...maybe we need a discreet bumper sticker, then there won't be any warning at all!

Focus on the 25m target first and get through the academy. Then find you a job. The LE market is super competitive. Get good reviews, get in the best shape of your life, and study hard.
