Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.

New officers go through a period of on the job training called Field Training. Experienced officers with specialized training take new officers and teach them how to employ the things they learned at the academy in the real world. This is also a time when the new officer is closely watched in an effort to determine if they are a good officer/person or if they should be terminated because they are unfit for the job.

Share Answer: 
That depends on your jurisdiction. You should contact the local prosecutors office and ask them.
Share Answer: 
I would imagine most states require police officers to receive emergency vehicle operation training in the academy.
