Want to join IMPD? *Oct. 15 Deadline!!*

[BrinNutz]

Fresh out of the Naval Academy, and active duty and they wouldn't even hire me. What a waste of trips that was.

 

[SpaldingPM]

I've been waiting FOREVER for this opportunity. I too have been very up date on the recent rumors of a "large" applicant class. I will be one of them

 

[vitamink]

It won't be so large...rumor is the numbers are dwindling...which is good as you get better applicants and not everyone who showed up. There will also be a split academy...so many weeks at ILEA and a few weeks at IMPD's academy.

No you can only commit crimes after you get on IMPD!

You mean I get to drive around in my squad car drunk after spending the whole at the bar? Sweet!!

As with the percentage of INGOers that are complete ****ing douchebags, the percentage of IMPD officers that commit crimes is very small.

See above.

See above.

I still haven't received an answer on the jack boots.

See above.

Chill man, just making a joke...there is a little bit of truth in a joke.

IIRC I had to buy my own, but I wear a size 15 and they probably didn't want to shell out that kind of cash.

What are the requirements academically? Criminal Justice?

Yeah, but the IMPD crimes percentage is quite a bit lower than the INGO douchebag percentage from what I've seen.

Who knows now.

Before it was College degree (in whatever) or at least 2 years military service. Same with ISP.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department will be hiring a new class in the near future. I have no idea when the testing starts or what a projected academy start date is, but they just launched a new website to help in recruiting. Check it out if you are interested:

Thanks for posting! I just saw it on the IMPD News Facebook site also. Hope they start it soon, would work out perfect for me, ending school and would be ready to leave for the academy.

Really? never have heard of that before. Is it their first time doing it this way?

I've been here long enough not to find that a compelling argument.

Thanks Nick! My nephew is interested. Seems he wants to walk in his Grandpa and his Uncles' footsteps. I'll be emailing the link to him this morning.

It's not set in stone yet. That is what the Chief wants but NO ONE ELSE thinks we should give up our own certified academy training and are trying to talk the Chief out of this.

A few years ago, I would have loved to join IMPD. I would have been all over this...

 

[PistolBob]

Based on the pay structure, being a rookie cop in Indiana means not being married, not having kids, and sharing the rent with a roomie. It is a young persons game and probably a good place to start but I don't see how anyone could do it for long...you'd go broke. I would not want to be a cop, I'd be lousy at it. Glad to see some folks want to, I just hope with the compensation they offer, they don't end up with a bunch of psycho rejects from the local rent-a-cop companies.

How about OLD, RET., DAV ?????

Sorry LE in Indiana discriminates based on age.
