Too cool for subject

Not sure about a Seattle Academy(?) This website: https://fortress.wa.gov/cjtc/www/blea/index.htm
says this is 'the only police academy in Washington State' and searches on individual police departments within Washington all lead back here eventually (this academy is in Spokane).

It doesn't give a lot of easily available info in terms of their courses and whatnot, or living conditions, though I'm sure you're required to live-in if you're more than 30 miles from the facility.

The quotes above came from a range of Police Academy websites with one a quote from a blog called 'ask an officer' - I'm assuming(?) they have similar requirements from their students.

Everything I read really gave the lie to the 'firearms training and you're a detective' business. They all seemed to last 6 months and required a minimum 12 months patrol experience post-academy. I haven't gone into it that deeply, mind you, but I really do doubt that Blair's experience would count.

Ah well, I guess the producers never realised that six years on that fic writers would be trying to make sense of their finale...And given their deep awareness of how unis work, I'm not that surprised that the police details suck a bit, too. *g*

lol, well, no... and Garett was saying much the same thing at the GMOH - that you couldn't just 'walk in' to a detective's badge after a bit of weapons training.

From what I've seen - on just a cursory search, mind, I've not gone into massive detail so I could be WAY off here (o: - it's the militarism of it all that's freaked me out. I can;t see Blair in this environment at all. )o:
