I started to think as I was responding to a comment on the firefighters thread about the vast difference between the College Programs, Fire, Paramedic, and Police.
to my understanding both the Fire and EMS courses require alot more discipline and fitness and encompass a much greater level of hands-on Direct training. by that i mean, what you learn in school you will use directly in your job. whereas I found that the Police Foundations Course focused on alot of theoretical information, or on things you will simply re-learn, or on things that are outside your arcs as a Uniformed Police Constable (ie: Forensics.)
So I guess my real question goes out to those who have been there and now wear the T-Shirt.
How usefull was the Course compared to the training you recieved at your respective academy (Depot, OPC, CPC, etc...)
and i guess this one is kinda loaded... Other then being used for resume padding is Police Foundations a Better course to take over say a different college level course?
Your Opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Also, If you have/are taking the program, how do you feel about it? Relevance, level of training recieved, quality of instructors, etc...
Thanks!
