Anyways, I just feel like this great burden has been lifted off of my shoulders because I've been training hard for the academy for the past two months and I didn't even know if I'd get it in, but now I know. Is anyone here a cop or have a law enforcement background who can give me some advice on how to better prepare myself for the academy?

Congrats, gabe. As one of my academy instructors said in the first week, "You've got a front row ticket to the greatest show on earth."

I'm an officer with the Knoxville Police Department in Knoxville, TN. I'm happy to throw some advice your way, but I'm looking to get out of police work so I may not be the best person to talk to ;-)
