The Hunter Standard is a police academy that’s focus is on having the police officer upon completing the training ready to be prepared to start enforcing the law and serving the community the best way he or she can. The Hunter Standard Police Academy will consist of 360 hours of stressful and non stressful training techniques that will have an officer prepared to handle most situations faced in the real world and in the legal system, from how to handle hostile situations on the street, to filling out paper work to book criminals. The police academy will offer four courses, a reading, communication and writing course, a military boot camp or basic training course, a terrorism course and an ethics and integrity course. These courses should be taught because I feel that to be a good police officer you have to start off on the right path and through this academy upon leaving you will have enough class room and field learning to jump in the line of duty and start serving your community.
