I might have more experience with guns than some small departments

I get its partially for laws and and that.

It wasn't written with the intent of MPs...who are the least competent in my experience

But to me it would seem that its also giving more freedom to those who excerise higher responsibilities than an average person.

MPs can be hit and miss. But thats the same everywhere

I think it's only fair that servicemen who carry pistols should qualify for it too

But that's not how it's written unfortunately so I suggest people affiliate with a local dept

Ill look into that or harassing leadership for a MSA or something

If I remember right, you're from Texas? Anywhere near Travis County?

Arizona sadly

Well not sadly ConCar is awesome

I would have to go through the academy I think to qualify

I know y'all's counties are big as fuck

Understatement

Maricopa is retarded huge

Depends on where. In Georgia you go through the full 11 week program. Florida, no, and it's usually like 2-3 nights a week

Other states I'm sure have abbreviated or part time academies since reserve usually have a full time job

Its definitely an avenue I overlooked

Dunno if they're close to you

It's fun anyway, aside from the leosa benefit

All Arizona goes through the same school

We is super cops

Pretty sure there was a one star in the Florida Guard a few years back who was also a reserve deputy somewhere near Orlando

Every cop can arrest in every jurisdiction

California is the same way

Its a smart way to do it

In Georgia I can enforce traffic law and serve warrants statewide but everything else would be as a private citizen and waive immunity

No please don't give statewide arrest powers to those idiots in Atlanta PD

Lmao

I mean a standard school would have to be made

Some places do

To have state powers but not just one school sounds retarded

Like Georgia, there's no part time or reserve academy. You wanna work for your uncle sheriff one day a year, you go to the same basic training

Well ours are mostly state run. We have the regional academy system for most people, the special academy for the troopers, and a few big agencies like Atlanta have their own

But the curriculum is standardized

So if you went to Savannah or Columbus or Forsyth, it's the same 11 weeks, same books, etc. Everything identical

So apparently AZ reservists go to the same training, it's like 840 hours. I guess that one county has a program to send reserve to a part time academy but it probably takes close to a year to finish

Yep

Dont really fuck around here

Anyone to enforce laws in AZ at state level MUST go through AZPOST
