The average drop rate for LASD Academies is approximately 25 percent. the current class that just started on monday started close to 70 and they have lost 9 as of today.

Did you guys see the episode where that cadet could not decock his beretta and lock and re holster.He tried to decock buy holding the hammer with his thumb LOL. He was book smart could pass code tests but that was it.

Then it was the one with the female cadet that could not pump a shotgun she did not have the strength. I had a few shows recorded on my dvr.

I only watched a few episodes.

On one of them they dropped a guy who had a heart issue. Seems he lied about having had a bypass. I guess they must not give them medical exams before admission, since any doctor would have been able to tell he had a previous bypass.

The weirdest thing is they booted him out for lying about the bypass, but then suggested he re-apply.

Does the OCSO train all the P.D.'s in OC?

They train most of them but there are several other Academies in the county. Most agencies prefer OC. Many of the tac officers are from city agencies as well, just like it is in LA.

I was embarassed to watch that show. It was so sickening, since the cameras are gone, the "Hollywood" atmosphere is gone and now they are training properly.
