This is my first time blogging so I'll say right now what I'll be talking about on my blog. It will mainly be talking about LAPD and the work of LAPD. Right now I will talk about what it takes to be in LAPD. To join the academy you have to be at least be 21 years old. You have to graduate from a U.S. High school and you have to be a citizen of this country or a permanent resident. They will also check your backround check if you have had a lawful history of everything including your financial and driving records. As well as have a history of responsible choices with alcohol and drugs and have good attitude toward the diversity of Los Angeles. Have a high standard of honesty and integity.
