Congrats. Savor every moment of 27 weeks of challenges.

[LadyVol@330]

ALL RIGHT! Hope patience has been a virtue for you. Upward and Onward!

[iwanttobeCHP]

Got my letter today. See you all Jan 9th. Good luck to all. Run, run, run:biggrin:

Im soooooo stoked for you!! Congrats! I know I would love to be in your place right now! I hope to follow you soon!! :biggrin:

But just to make sure DW is this true? I didn't see an update in the Academy dates Sticky...

[bcjack]

Good luck. You are about to embark on a journey that will bring you many rewards, and a few disappointments. Never forget that the rewards way outnumber the disappointments and keep your head high.

[Ken Farr 9411]

Hang tough, stay with it, it is soooo worth it.


been there, done that.

Yeah I (now :biggrin: ) know better than to ask hiring questions, I just thought the Academy Dates Sticky would have it. But my best wishes to everyone! Its still very good news for people like me though!

CONGRATS TO ALL THAT HAVE BEEN INVITED TO CTC 1-12

Represent yourselves, the program, and the department well. Hope to be joining you soon, but don't know how far back on the shelf I'm sitting at this point. Patience has paid off, now it's time to work.


-----Information removed by CHPForum Moderator-----

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas to all that got the letters. Best early Christmas present ever I bet.


Run, Run, Run.

[motogpfan]

Received my letter Saturday, Which was very unexpected to say the least. Congratulations to all those who were invited.

Here we go a short 8 weeks away.

[CHP10608]

Congratulations !
I remember when I received my letter. I was scared and excited at the same time the first day I walked onto the academy grounds.

I can still remember that day as yesterday. CTC-I-83. January 10th, 1983. Day one.

The CHP was the time of my life. I still miss it today.
Good luck, study hard and don't get your Blue Cards taken away from you ! LOLOL

Good Luck !!
John 10608

OK....brand new thread, and already misinformation has been posted regarding hiring and the Academy. Please remember the rules regarding hiring discussions, specifically:

Any posts related to hiring or the Academy posted in other forums will be deleted and the member posting such may be banned from the site.
We are all very happy for those who have received letters for the Academy, and you are understandably excited. The ban on hiring and Academy related posts was implemented for a reason and still stands. Please don't risk your ability to participate and enjoy CHPForums.

[900hpsupra]

good luck !!! guys and gals.... l'm jealous.

[CHPn00b]

Work hard.. not many opportunities like this come along in life. Make the most of it and best of luck.

One day at a time.

:cool:

[Gittinready]

^^So true. Don't give up. We all want/need you on the road. Remember all the hard work and how long you have waited. June will be here before you blink.

EDIT: Apparently 6 months means July graduation...

[rufio11]

Umm...July :cool:. I can't wait!!!!:biggrin:

[motogpfan]

Umm...July :cool:. I can't wait!!!!:biggrin:
Congratulations rufio we are going to have to meet up soon.

[alcezmee]

Can't wait to see everyone in 8 weeks. I am super excited and at the same time very nervous and some what scared. We have been waiting for this for 2-3 years now. Good luck to all who get the invite and for those still waiting do not give up.

[quaylie]

I hope there are absolutely zero that think about quitting once they get there..especially due to how long some of you have been waiting for this opportunity. You quit and you may not get another chance. Help motivate your fellow cadets, especially ones that are down or thinking about quitting. Good luck and I'm sure I'll see a bunch of you in late July or early August down in SLA (The dirty 530).

Yep, I'm sure we will

[SayjackB]

East LA does too, you might just get to report in time for Independence day and see the utter conflagration of illegal fireworks blazing up the LA skyline.

[cain.vanessa]

I second the don't quit post. There are hundreds of people who would give anything to take your place, don't take advantage of a great opportunity. Days go by slow, weeks go by fast. I met some pretty awesome people there, that I still keep in touch with, and its been almost 3 years. And I didn't even graduate! CHP is truly a family, a very loving sometime disfunctional family, but its great knowing if you need help your "family" will be there to help. Good luck to you all!

That's me ^^^^^^ :biggrin: But soon enough I will catch up with all of you fortunate and hard working CHP CADETS soon to be OFFICERS. Isnt that weird to hear yourselves being called CHP CADETS? :)

[CTCIII-82]

Good Luck from CTC II-83,we've been around for a long time.

Oh yeah! I can STILL remember my excitement the night before and the morning I walked onto the grounds.... course back then females went first! Hah! Enjoy the best ride of your life! I have loved every moment.. well most all moments! The light at the end of the tunnel is brighter as am sure II-83 can attest to!!

[Imaginethat1]

Woohoo! Warm up the gravy!

[quaylie]

Woohoo! Warm up the gravy!

It's been sitting awhile. Eww. :lol:

[Snakeyes]

Don't forget why you are there and what you have sacrificed already just to be at the academy as a cadet...be happy and exicited now, just don't lose your focus. Good luck and never give up, no matter what!

[FlyByWire]

Congrats guys!!

[truck51ffpmrusso]

Has anyone been to the San bernadino evoc class before attending the academy? If so, was it helpful or a waste of time? Thanks

[SB 405]

Not in the position to give advice,however I would like to comment...........Wouldn't it be better to just let the CHP staff handle training you in EVOC? Pretty sure those guys have it figured out.

[340iv10]

i disagree. if youre not one of those freaks that just gets skid pan the first attempt, the only thing that helps is more time behind the wheel.

high speed is just about getting over the pucker factor and putting the car where you know its supposed to be

[SlowZ28]

I would HIGHLY recommend getting some seat time in before the academy, this is a pure muscle memory skill, and getting proper instruction will help you out. Both the SCCA Cal Club and Speedventures offer autocross days at the Autoclub speedway. You can autocross in almost any car, and the skills you learn will translate into being a good driver in every car. Things like car placement, hand placement, car control, visual horizon, and proper throttle and brake technique.

http://www.solo2.com/
http://speedventures.com/

A great school you can attend that will get you a tone of good instruction by guys that are amazing drivers is Evo Driving School. Even an experienced driver and national champion can learn from these guys. I would have gone this year but a big race Im going to is the weekend before, and Im only on an auto techs salary.

http://www.evoschool.com/

I will be hitting up at least one event before the big race I have in March as I am making a ton of changes to my car this year, if interested I could even offer instruction.

Thank you for the info, I was trying to get into the San bernardino Sheriffs driving class and they are booked till mid January, which wont do since the academy starts January 9th. Any knowledge of other places that offer EVOC would be greatly appreciated.

Nah, you mentally prepare for skid pan by watching Doc Hudson teach Lightning McQueen how to handle the dirt track in Cars. "Turn left to go right, do your steerin' with the throttle..." That's all.

[420MVARS]

120 going in, Hopefully 120 coming out.
Not gonna happen.

We started with 72 - graduated 56.

We were the first class after a hiring-freeze, so the Academy was EMPTY. We had ALL of the attention concentrated on US. That was a LOOOONNNGGGG three months until our Jr. class came in to share the heat!

[SpeedyP]

Good luck to everyone who received a letter for CTC I-12 or are waiting for CTC II-12. I have many friends who work at the academy who are very excited for your arrival. :popcorn: Good luck. Never quit.

[RAT Power]

I think you should lead them on their first run.

So, you channel surf way too late, finally you feel like getting some Z's. Then it starts! Up every hour making sure the alarm is set for 0500 and the power has not went out. You'll ask yourself a 100 times, Did I forget anything? Oh shit my boots! Heart racing! you sigh.....Its only a bad dream! 0500 comes by way of wake up call from the front desk, 30 seconds later the alarm is raging. What the hell have I got myself into? You will console yourself and tell yourself, I can do this! Your appetite is gone, however you force yourself to eat whatever left overs you had from yesterdays drive or last nights dinner. You manage to get all your stuff back into your vehicle. You drive down Reed Ave and see alot of Shaved heads standing out in front of StarBucks! You pull in and look around, which one of these guys are gonna quit?, you ask yourself! (Of course, the one you think will quit, ends up being the Company Commander!) You introduce yourself and comment on how much law enforcement experience you have already and where you worked before today! Of course there are a couple of Military geeks that think they got it all figured out. Someone will bring up, what kinda boots did you buy? This will lead to the inevidible: Did you remember to bring(Whatever)? and that's when the ton of bricks will fall and you begin to pucker! What? We are suppose to have (Whatever)? The pucker factor is huge, but you only have 26 minutes to report to the south parking lot of the Academy. You feverishley try and find someone with an extra (Whatever) and to no avail! You report to the south Academy parking lot and sit in your vehicle, you dont wanna be the first one in line, so you wait for someone else to get out of their vehicle. You see a few people get out of their vehicles and start rummaging through their stuff, this is the sign! You get out of your vehicle and get your stuff, all the time waiting for a group of people to pass by, so you can slip into their group and head to the brown wall by the flowers. As you are walking you are trying to get your bearings, you say "ok, that is North, and that is East". Then you notice, you have more bags and luggage than most people, you ask yourself. Do I really need all this stuff? You get about half way and decide, I dont need this six foot ironing board, 3 sets of boots, X-box 360, so you head back and drop off everything extra that you brought and lighten your load by 30 lbs. You head back to the brown wall by the flowers with only two bags of minimal items. As you get near the wall you see an Officer talking to everyone and you have missed whatever the information he was giving, so you ask someone near you and they don't know either. The Officer tell's everyone to get lined up heal to toe and get ready to meet the Staff Office. There is this long silent waiting period as you stare into the scalp of the person in front of you. Does my head have as much crud in it, as this guys you ask yourself? Then from the parking lot you here it, thump, thump ,thump, heavy breathing, ...............its 0735 and some putz is late and trying to figure out where he is in the line. Of course his place is right in front of you! You move your stuff as fast as possible, but the Staff Office is already out, they see all the movement and you moving your stuff and this guy trying to get in line! Here they come! So much for flying under the radar, the radar just fell and landed on you. Oh and the late guy, Meet your new roomate!

I read this and started sweating profusely.

Just remember why you're there, do what your told, maintain your integrity, and never, ever quit.

You want to look your best so you start working on those nostril hairs while shaving in your motel bathroom. You accidently nick the inside of your nostril! It wont stop bleeding and you have to be in line in 30 minutes!! :doh:

[Murakoshi]

Has anyone been to the San bernadino evoc class before attending the academy? If so, was it helpful or a waste of time? Thanks

I went to Alameda County SO Civilian EVOC, and though we didn't get as much time behind the wheel as I would have liked, it did teach me some basics to build upon. Plus, the instructor from my class was a former EVOC instructor at CHP academy, and taught the 5 of us who were waiting on invites as he taught at academy.

I just came across this thread. I would disagree. I was an avid autocrosser, class champ etc etc prior to going into the CHP.. and it hurt me if anything.. CHP is going to train you to drive how they want you to drive. Confidence and the ability to follow the EVOC instructors advice is what is going to get you through. I found I had to deprogram myself from years of autocrossing.

Really? A good friend of mine was the Evoc SGT for years, and we even do EVOC training days at the local airport. The stuff they teach, high visual horizion, smooth is fast, weight transfer, hand positioning, and eye placement all translate to driving anything.

If you develop good habits from the start, you will be fast in anything.

What hurt you about having experience, was it bad habits?

[onebighappyfamily]

CTC I-12, I hope you guys like gravy:lol:.

[Dogslifedon]

I actually thought the gravy was yummy. The food was excellent, french toast, scrambled eggs, ham for breakfast! Lasanga and spaghetti were good too, not to mention the Blue Bunny ice cream and cheescake! Enjoy!:popcorn:

[SayjackB]

My recommendation... ICE CREAM!!! For some reason, I didn't have any ice cream until O.C. Day. It seemed to me, the ice cream abstinence amplified it's soothing and cooling effect after a bit of Ojo-Burny-Burn time... However, at that point I thought to myself, "YOU MORON, THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN GRAVY."

[ballistic5]

There was ice cream? I was told i would be a lifer on the training table.

[quaylie]

Man I don't know why but I swear my favorite memory at the academy was getting OC last thing of the day on a Friday afternoon right before liberty. Something about getting that over with and then making the almost 2 hour drive from the academy out to Santa Rosa. I remember just hoping that I didn't have some kind of reactivation on the drive out.

[iwanttobeCHP]

11 days til day 1 at a shot of a lifetime :shock:

Sounds like there's another meaning to ice cream and gravy??? :tape: "Just keep running, just keep running, just keep running running running" Dory the fish

I am more excited then ever and still a little nervous. Ice cream ehh the funny part about this site the most "inside info" comes from post like those above. The best part about this site is no b.s. just like at the academy this is what was told needed to be done and that better be damn well done.

I would argue otherwise. I've spent time with shifter karts, Barber Formula cars, trackdays etc and it did nothing but help me in Evoc. The only 'issue' I had was trailbraking on the highspeed track.

Shrug.. dunno what to tell you, I still think it is better to come in with a clean slate. I've raced at thunder hill and prior to that many years of solo II in a Viper. I'm still set on letting the instructors teach you how they want you to drive, esp on the highspeed.
I know of several classmates that kicked ass at all aspects of evoc with no prior training, and know another that had prior racing experience that ended up a retread due to evoc.

Hey guys, week one is over. Remember, its not going to be easy, and coming back Sunday night is going to blow, but its absolutely worth it.

The only way you should be going home for good is if you get fired or injured. Quitting should never be an option.

[Ken Farr 9411]

Don't forget that grandma can PT better than you.


Yes, there are grandma's on the Patrol now, and yes some of them can PT much better than I. :doh:

For you CTC-1-12 members, this is quite a support tool you have here. Nothing at all like this was even dreamed of when I was a smurf.
Hang tough, leave only if they fire you, work harder than you ever have before, the results are long term and very satisfying.

Good Luck.

Just out of curiosity what was the official starting number?
its a bummer some waited so long for this opportunity and couldn't handle it, best wishes to those whom withstand and remain on the path to an amazing goal and career.

[SB 405]

I could be wrong but I read "123 remain" as the starting number of Cadets on day 1.

I could be wrong but I read "123 remain" as the starting number of Cadets on day 1.

I would not want to give inaccurate information but i know we are 123 strong and as of Friday. Pick up day was a blur so i am not sure of the starting number i am sure someone else will chime in. Got to get back to studying.

[Ranbud]

Congrats to all of you for getting through week one, I remember only that it was a blur of activity. This is a great career and worth every second of what you need to go through to get to Graduation day. Never give up, Quitting is not an option. Good Luck!

123 was the starting #

All stayed through the first week. I'm impressed. We had a cadet quit three times the first day. The third one took.

Wow so 3 lucky people got in last minute instead of the 120 proposed, that's great!

All stayed through the first week. I'm impressed. We had a cadet quit three times the first day. The third one took.

Is that a first for no one to drop week 1?? Very impressive, these cadets know what they want and how to get there.

Okay 123 made it through Week 1 but the important thing is will 123 return tonight?

I imagine they will be updating the blog again. It's usually about 2-3 weeks in before the first blog posting. PT is the physical training portion of the academy.

Here's a little taste.

Yeah..but 12 guys going to SD from a class of 70-80 graduating? I know plenty of Officers that would suck up those spots down there before they went to cadets.

[iwanttobeCHP]

Yeah..but 12 guys going to SD from a class of 70-80 graduating? I know plenty of Officers that would suck up those spots down there before they went to cadets.

I was just speculating because that was the only office I could think of at the time. Regardless I guarantee these cadets/future officers would take any spot they get. Lots of residential areas being built in Orange/San Diego county so its a definite plus to be down here for a temporary or permanent assignment. :cool:

From what I know, San Diego is the largest office (# of Officers). I think we're not too far behind them in South L.A. and we have 60 220's in. We have a pigeonhole for transfers and someone as a joke just taped the entire office roster on it.

Do these numbers accurately depict the average openings per city or are the numbers tainted since the academy has been closed?

[TheGreenHornet]

There is no "average opening per city." The numbers for each class are based on the needs of the department and vary from class to class. The majority of the classes usually go to LA or Bay Area offices.

I should rephrase. I know the numbers are based on the needs but are the numbers ususally that swayed towards southern California or are there more than usual since the academy has been closed. I just figured the numbers would be a tad bit closer between LA and Bay areas.
